85 Stratford Plantation DriveElgin, SC 29045Price: $545,000

Tucked away on one of the most desirable homesites in Stratford Plantation, this beautifully updated brick home offers peaceful water views, mature shade trees, and the kind of setting that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. The single level living includes a large family room with a gas fireplace, tray ceilings and large windows overlooking the backyard. The kitchen is both functional and inviting with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and several recent improvements that include tile backsplash, refrigerator and smooth surface cooktop/range with built in air fryer. The house offers both casual and formal dining with a kitchen nook as well as a formal dining room with tray ceilings. The spacious primary suite is located just down the hall and features a huge separate sitting area/office, walk-in closet, whirlpool tub, separate shower, and double vanity. Two additional bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and share a full hall bath with double vanities. Upstairs, the large room over the garage is currently used as a game room but would also make an exceptional 5th bedroom, guest suite, or office. This space is complete with a full bathroom, large walk-in closet, and private feel at the top of the staircase. Still looking for more space? Sit and relax in the sunroom room (with sliding windows to convert to a screened porch in the Spring) or relax on the covered back porch! Additional highlights include hardwood floors in the main living spaces, an instant hot water heater, a three-car garage (with one bay currently enclosed and used as an exercise room), fire pit, plus a long list of recent improvements, including fresh interior paint, updated chandeliers and light fixtures, and a full home water filtration system. Whether you enjoy fishing from your own backyard or taking a small boat or kayak out on the water, the outdoor lifestyle here is hard to beat. Plus, just minutes from I-20, Sandhills shopping, dining, and Columbia, this home has it all! Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
