Exceptional opportunity awaits with this move-in ready home that comes with an adjacent buildable lot of record - two parcels for one incredible price! Nestled on a quiet dead-end street just off downtown, this charming property offers the perfect blend of peaceful neighborhood living and urban convenience. You're only five houses from the Oconee River Greenway with access to the FireFly and River Trail System, making it an easy flat walk or bike ride to both campus and downtown in just ten minutes. This lovingly renovated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home welcomes you through a beautifully updated front porch into a spacious single-level living experience. The heart of the home flows seamlessly from the living and dining areas into an absolutely stunning cook's kitchen that maximizes every inch with more cabinet, drawer, and counter space than kitchens twice its size. The updated appliance package includes the refrigerator and a high-end induction cooktop and stove combination, while the washer and dryer convey with the home. Beautiful heart pine floors stretch throughout the main level, complemented by elegant tile work in the two completely restored bathrooms. The primary suite features soaring vaulted ceilings and serves as an inviting two-room retreat, with the laundry perfectly and conveniently located within the primary bathroom. A second bedroom sits just off the side hallway, while the full basement below offers incredible flexibility as a music room, workshop, and abundant dry storage space. Step outside to discover the exceptional outdoor features, beginning with a brand new deck built with timber-frame quality using 2x10 joists and 6x6 posts. The deep, wooded backyard backs up to a peaceful creek, complete with terraced stairs leading down to a park-like creekside setting where you can enjoy the fire pit area. The property offers both driveway parking and convenient drive-under covered parking at the back of the home. The extensive list of recent improvements demonstrates the incredible care and investment put into this property. The current owners have completely remodeled the kitchen, added the new deck and back door, renovated the front porch and relocated the front door, installed a new water heater and fiber internet, and doubled the usable yard space. They've also built the stairs and trail system down to the creekside area, managed the tree canopy including removing a large oak from over the house, added new gutters by the deck, painted the back of the home, and created a 300 square foot parking pad. Previous owners invested heavily just three years ago in new electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, roofing, and much more. This friendly neighborhood embodies the best of small-town living, where neighbors know each other and you'll always see someone enjoying time on their front porch or taking a moment to chat. The welcoming community atmosphere on this quiet street makes it feel like home from the very first visit. With the included buildable lot, this property presents an exceptional investment opportunity and tremendous value. Financing both lots under a single mortgage is straightforward, and we're happy to recommend the best local lender to make the process seamless. This unique two-lot opportunity at this price point won't last long in today's market, and the home is easy to show even while occupied. Don't miss your chance to own this special property that perfectly combines immediate comfort with future potential.
