Set well back from the road down a long, private driveway, this recently updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home blends comfort, function, and Southern charm. Step inside to a spacious living room ideal for family gatherings and holiday entertaining. The semi-open layout flows seamlessly into the dining area and oversized kitchen - a cook's dream - featuring all stainless-steel appliances (less than 5 years old), including a double oven, generous island seating for six, and abundant counter and cabinet space. A large walk-in pantry adds the perfect finishing touch. The home offers both a living room and a separate family room, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace for chilly evenings. The split-bedroom floor plan provides privacy, with the oversized primary suite boasting a sitting area (perfect for a nursery or home office), dual vanities, a garden tub, separate shower, and a large walk-in closet with built-ins. Outside, enjoy lake views from the large back deck, ideal for BBQs and gatherings. The property includes multiple fruit trees-peach, apple, pear, and fig-plus raised garden beds ready for your vegetables. There's ample space for kids, pets, boats, or even a future workshop or RV parking. Take a stroll down to the water for kayaking, jet skiing, or to beach your pontoon for a day on the lake. No dock allowed, but a public boat ramp and downtown Hartwell are just minutes away, offering small-town charm, dining, and shopping. Recent updates include: new roof, new HVAC, new flooring, well pump and newer stainless appliances. Enjoy the lake life you've been dreaming of - privacy, convenience, and comfort all in one!
