Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1971 (53 years old), the property is dated and requires updates to reach modern standards. While the main living areas feature some mid-life laminate flooring and recessed lighting, the bedrooms have heavily soiled/worn carpeting, and the architectural elements (stairs, windows, exterior) appear original. The listing description confirms it is a 'potential' opportunity, implying the kitchen, baths, and systems are likely aged and in need of the minor-to-moderate repairs typical of the 'Fair' category.
Situated on the desirable 'Lake streets,' this home is within walking distance to Lake Murray and Mission Trails, offering immediate access to premier hiking, boating, and fishing.
The property features a spacious 2,301-square-foot floor plan and a rare 3-car garage, providing ample living space and superior storage capacity compared to many neighborhood peers.
The backyard is a private orchard featuring mature persimmon, pomegranate, orange, and fig trees, offering an immediate lush environment that would take years to replicate.
Marketed as being 'full of potential' and a 'foundation to update,' the 1971 interior likely requires a substantial capital investment to bring finishes and fixtures up to modern standards.
Built in 1971, the property may require costly upgrades to major systems such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC to ensure long-term reliability and energy efficiency.
