The renovated 3 bed, 2 bath main house features an open kitchen, oak wood floors, all electric appliances, a separate laundry room, a living room chimney ready for a freestanding stove, newer HVAC, a brand new metal roof, and a freshly poured side porch.

Looking for your move in ready and very affordable 3 bedroom home tucked away in quiet seclusion with privacy on over TWO ACRES? Come home to Coneross Point where you will cherish your daily drive home past lovely, neighboring equestrian farms into a well kept, hidden lake community that DOES ALLOW you rent your home as a short term rental. A long, gently sloped driveway brings you into your own private oasis surrounded by nature. Recent interior updates and upgrades provide you with a quality space to call your own. Newer luxury vinyl plank flows throughout the home enhancing the cohesive feel. A thorough renovation of the kitchen offers newer cabinetry with neutral tones that echo the surrounding colors of the forest; the pale hues match perfectly with the beautiful granite countertops. The large, versatile center island may be your favorite prep space. You'll literally be "cookin' with gas" on the newer stainless stove/range and the dishwasher and microwave complete the appliance package. Rustic barn doors hide the well located laundry room in the kitchen area flanked by a pantry and entry from the 2 car garage. Wise lighting choices add appeal in the home, especially in the breakfast area that is open to the kitchen and living room. The owner's suite has dual closets and large windows overlooking the wooded rear of the home; the en suite full bath provides a shower/tub combination. Two guest rooms share a full bathroom, also with a shower/tub combination. Escape to nature through the rear of the home onto the large deck or relax on the covered sitting area. Just a short walk through the woods takes you down to the Hartwell Lake shoreline where the owner has enjoyed kayaking, swimming and fishing on the private, platform boat dock. The boat dock is not currently floating due to low water levels impacting Lake Hartwell as well as the needed future repair on the Clemson Dike. The property is priced to reflect the inability to use the dock at this time. If the lake is a priority for you there are several Corps of Engineers boat landings and parks in the area which have easy access. A couple of nearby Corps of Engineers landings are at Conneross Park Road and another on Conneross Creek Rd. There's so much to love about this property; the HOA protects your investment with only a modest $100 a year investment as an HOA fee. The neighborhood is conducive to long walks and bike rides and the seller has enjoyed the community which has been helpful when needed and respected their privacy other wise. In addition to the 2.35 acres, additional privacy is provided by the adjacent Corps of Engineers property! The house itself is well maintained with numerous updates and upgrades including a 2018 roof installation, new insulation gives that extra layer of efficiency that helps keep power bills affordable, and fiber internet affords you lightning speeds for work or streaming online. Call today to schedule your private showing of this sweet retreat. Showings are easy but an appt is required before walking the property.
