NEW PRICE — $620,000! MOTIVATED SELLER! Clemson parents, professors, alumni and anyone looking for space, privacy and a truly special property just minutes from Clemson University—this one deserves your attention! Welcome to “The House on the Hill,” a custom-built home offering the space, privacy and character that are increasingly difficult to find this close to Clemson. Set well back from the road on beautiful grounds, this longtime family home was thoughtfully designed, substantially built and carefully improved over the years. The impressive 4-inch-thick asphalt circular driveway creates a grand approach and provides abundant parking in addition to the oversized two-car garage. Outside, mature landscaping, peaceful koi ponds, irrigation, extensive drainage systems, a deck and gazebo create a setting designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment. Inside, you'll find generous living spaces, hardwood flooring and a kitchen featuring classic oak cabinetry, a new stove and microwave. But there's even more downstairs! The lower level was made for entertaining with a pool table area, entertainment room with projector and screen wired for surround sound, and Jacuzzi shower—the perfect setup for Clemson game days, movie nights or a house full of guests. The owners have invested extensively in the things buyers don't always see but certainly appreciate. Improvements include PEX plumbing, Trane HVAC equipment with transferable warranties, newer heat pumps, ductwork, line sets and drains, climate control for humidity management, a newer 55-gallon water heater with expansion tank and a roof only a few years old. Following a previous plumbing break, affected piping was replaced with PEX and the basement was professionally restored after moisture removal, including new ceilings and sheetrock. The attention to detail continues outside with extensive 4-inch drainage piping, French drains near the koi ponds, a newer pond pump, irrigation and even a dog house wired for electricity. The deck and gazebo were recently treated with Behr Woodland Red stain carrying a 10-year warranty. Termite protection has also been maintained through a long-term treatment program. Need even more possibilities? A prepared pad on the southwest side of the property may offer potential for a future detached garage, workshop, boat or recreational-vehicle storage, or possibly an additional dwelling/in-law suite, subject to zoning, permitting and applicable approvals. For buyers seeking additional privacy, the lot directly behind the home may also be available for separate purchase; availability and terms to be independently verified. For decades, this home was known as “The House on the Hill”—the place for prom parties, homecoming celebrations, holidays and gatherings, and the invitation everyone hoped to receive. Now, with a new price of $620,000 and a seller ready to make a deal, The House on the Hill is ready for its next chapter. Minutes from Clemson University, this is not a cookie-cutter home—and at this price, it may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Schedule your showing and come see it for yourself!

Some homes are move-in ready. This one is ready for its next story. Tucked quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac inside Clemson city limits sits a lakefront home that's been patiently waiting for someone with vision. Built in 1959, this isn't a house trying to be something it isn't. It proudly wears its history, from the original hardwood floors hiding beneath portions of the carpet to the rich wood built-ins, exposed beams, brick fireplaces, oversized windows, and solid craftsmanship that's become harder and harder to find. With 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and an unfinished basement, there's already more than enough space to create something incredible. The layout is generous, the rooms are substantial, and nearly every window reminds you that you're surrounded by mature trees in one of Clemson's most established neighborhoods. It's easy to picture what life here could look like. Saturday mornings spent reading by the fireplace while sunlight pours through the windows. Family dinners prepared in a kitchen that's ready for your personal touch. Kids racing through the backyard before everyone gathers on the deck for burgers on the grill. Quiet evenings on the screened porch, listening to the sounds of the lake before taking the boat out for one last sunset cruise. This is the kind of neighborhood where people don't just buy a house. It’s where they plant roots. Where neighbors wave from the driveway, evening walks become routine, and homes stay in families for years because they're simply too special to leave. Will it take work? Absolutely. But this isn't a teardown. It's an opportunity. An opportunity to restore instead of replace. To preserve the character that's already here while making it entirely your own. To peel back the layers, refinish the hardwoods, modernize the spaces, and breathe new life into a home that's been waiting for its next family. Homes like this: with lake frontage, city convenience, timeless architecture, and room to build equity, don't come along often. Just minutes from downtown Clemson, yet tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood where life seems to move a little slower, this may be the bargain lakefront opportunity you've been waiting for.
