Set at the end of a dead-end street in Historic Winnsboro, this 1953 brick ranch offers the rare balance of in-town convenience and a peaceful, wooded setting. Located in Fairfield County, known for its beautiful terrain, the 2.62-acre property features a blend of both open yard space and wooded privacy, with a creek running through the backyard. The setting feels tucked away while still part of a friendly neighborhood, with an easy walk to downtown and the Mt. Zion walking park. The main level features hardwood floors, a spacious den with original pine paneling, built-in bookshelves, and a fireplace, plus a formal dining room with a picture window overlooking the backyard. The eat-in kitchen is designed for gathering, with tile floors, solid surface countertops, a pantry, its own fireplace, and access to a double screened porch overlooking the woods and creek, making it an ideal spot for quiet mornings, evening meals, and wildlife views. The main level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a private bath. The walk-out basement adds flexibility with a private entrance, bedroom, bath, and combined kitchen/living area for multiple use options from an in-law suite, teen suite, playroom, guest quarters or even rental space. The space would benefit from updates. Major updates include rewiring, plumbing, windows (2015), roof (2015), foundation piers (2015), and HVAC (2017). The outdoor space is what ties it all together: open yard, woods on both sides and behind, and a creek that enhances the natural setting. It’s uncommon to find a basement home in this area with this much land, privacy, and close to town amenities, major interstates, and easy access to larger cities. Bonus points for a whole house generatorThis is a home for someone who values character, setting, potential, and who wants to be close to everything, yet come home to a place that feels grounded, welcoming, and uniquely their own. Conveniently located to I-77, Lake Wateree, Scout Motors plant, Columbia, and roughly one hour south of Charlotte.
