What if you could enjoy peaceful pond views, beautiful sunsets, and your own private retreat, all just 12 minutes from Downtown Greenville? This beautifully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath house offers something truly special, combining modern updates, natural surroundings, and incredible flexibility for homeowners and investors alike. From the moment you step inside, you'll appreciate the natural light pouring through the windows, the cozy atmosphere, and the thoughtful renovations throughout. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the home, while the updated kitchen features beautiful granite countertops and a functional layout perfect for everyday living. The main level offers two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom, while the upstairs primary suite provides a private escape with its own bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower. But what truly sets this property apart is the outdoor setting! Imagine starting your mornings with coffee overlooking the peaceful pond or unwinding in the evening as the sun sets over the water. The expansive deck stretches along the side of the home, creating an incredible space for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surrounding nature. More than 40 trees line one side of the property, adding to its charm and offering even greater privacy as they mature. Need additional space? The unfinished basement offers exciting possibilities for future customization, whether you envision a workshop, hobby area, additional storage, or a potential finished space, subject to the necessary approvals. This home also presents an attractive opportunity for investors! Currently operating as an Airbnb, the property has earned exclusively five-star guest reviews and has historically achieved approximately 80% weekend occupancy. Buyers interested in continuing short-term rental use should verify current regulations, performance, and any applicable requirements. And there's more than just beauty here. The home has undergone extensive improvements, including a roof replacement in 2020, new gutters in 2021, and updates to the plumbing, electrical, ductwork, and siding. The HVAC has been serviced, and the septic system was pumped in 2022. Important property tax information: Current property taxes may appear higher because the home is assessed at South Carolina's 6% non-primary residence rate. An eligible buyer purchasing the home as their primary residence may qualify for the lower 4% legal residence assessment ratio, potentially resulting in significantly lower annual property taxes. Buyers should verify eligibility and estimated taxes with the county assessor. Whether you're searching for a charming primary residence, a peaceful getaway, or an investment opportunity near Greenville, this place offers a rare combination of character, thoughtful improvements, and a setting that makes everyday living feel like an escape. Experience the views, privacy, and possibilities for yourself!

Your weekend plans are right across the street. This home sits directly across from Hagood Park, with its baseball and softball fields, playground, walking path, tennis courts, picnic shelters and dog park. Saturday mornings can start with a coffee and a short stroll instead of a car ride. Inside, you'll feel the quality right away. Built by local favorite Blue Sky Builders, with interiors by Naomi Pratt Design, this home pairs solid craftsmanship with thoughtful, livable style. There's no carpet to be found. Luxury vinyl tile flows seamlessly through the entire home with no transitions, so it's clean, cohesive and easy to live with. The two-story living and dining room is bright and open, with tall windows that pull in natural light all day. It flows into an open kitchen built for real life: quartz counters, a farmhouse sink and a big breakfast bar where everyone can gather for snacks, homework or Friday pizza night. The primary suite is on the main level, complete with a superstar-sized shower and a closet outfitted with custom built-ins. Upstairs you'll find three large bedrooms plus a loft that works as a playroom, media space or home office. Every bedroom closet has a built-in shelving system, so staying organized is easy. The laundry room is a true standout, with a sink, a dedicated folding area and space to actually get things done. Out back, the covered screened patio overlooks a nicely sized, fully sodded and fenced yard that feels surprisingly private. It's an easy spot for grilling, play dates or quiet evenings without the bugs. A large double gate gives you drive access to the backyard, and the extra large driveway and parking pad mean plenty of room for cars, guests and toys. Everything else is close, too. Walk about half a mile, roughly 10 minutes, to The Silos and the West End shops. You're also near the Doodle Trail for biking and walking, and just around the corner from Southern Weaving's food hall, Main Street, downtown Easley and the Baptist Easley hospital system.
