Right in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this peaceful 4-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch offers over 1,600 sq ft of comfortable one-level living on 1.26 acres of pure serenity in Mountain Rest, with a BONUS 5-bay storage unit. Surrounded by mature shade trees and tucked away in a private setting, the property has the kind of relaxed mountain feel that makes you want to stay. Inside, the home's centerpiece is an impressive floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace. The wood-burning insert has a glass door, creating a warm gathering place on cold mountain evenings and capable of heating the entire home. Hardwood floors extend through the main living area and two of the bedrooms, while the spacious eat-in kitchen offers quality cabinetry, extra counter space & plenty of room for a dining table. A dedicated laundry room is another welcome feature, & all appliances pictured convey with the home. The new owner will have peace of mind knowing the roof was installed in 2020 & HVAC in 2021. The split-bedroom layout provides plenty of flexibility, with the primary bedroom and an additional bedroom on one side of the home and two hardwood-floor bedrooms on the opposite side near the second full bath. The primary suite includes its own private bath & walk-in closet. With four nicely sized bedrooms all on one level, there is room for family & an office or hobby space. The outdoor setting is truly special. Mature trees of wide varieties create a beautiful canopy throughout the property, while very open grassy areas provide room for gardens, animals, & recreation on your own small homestead. Relax on the covered front porch or enjoy the large rear deck overlooking the peaceful surroundings. A charming garden shed provides extra storage, and the property has its own private well. Every inch of this land is useable. One of the most unique features of this property is the approximately 2,160 sq ft detached storage/shop building with FIVE separate bays, each with its own roll-up door, plus a huge covered storage area extending along the back. Previously used for individual storage rentals, this substantial building opens the door to all kinds of possibilities for the next owner. Whether you need space for a workshop, equipment, boats, ATVs, RV storage, or even a new business, this is an exceptional amount of additional space right on your own property. This home is not far from Long Creek, SC, and is located about the same distance from Main Street, Westminster & Walhalla.
