Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1960 and described as being in 'original condition,' the property features a kitchen and bathrooms that are 40-60 years old. While the home appears clean and well-maintained, the age of the finishes (wallpaper, tile, cabinetry) and the 1982 upstairs addition place it in the category requiring a full rehab to meet modern standards.
Situated just blocks from Lake Murray, the property offers exceptional access to outdoor recreation and features scenic lake views from the upper-level primary suite.
The unique layout includes two primary suites—one on each level—providing excellent potential for multi-generational living or a private guest sanctuary.
A generous side yard accommodates large vehicles like RVs, boats, or trailers, offering rare flexibility and convenience for owners with active lifestyles.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Maintained by the same owner for over 50 years, the home is in original condition and will require significant cosmetic updates and modernization.
As a 1960s-era property sold as a 'fixer' opportunity, buyers should anticipate additional capital investment for potential system upgrades and repairs.
