Property Description
$8,000 BUYER INCENTIVE! • PRIVATE IRRIGATION WELL • LOW HOA Seller offering $8,000 toward buyer's closing costs, which may be used toward a mortgage rate buydown or other allowable closing expenses, subject to lender and loan program requirements. Private irrigation well helps significantly reduce the cost of maintaining the beautifully landscaped yard. Only 18.75/month compare to 100-300/month neighborhoods! Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after GEM Lakes Estates, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, flexibility, beautiful outdoor spaces, and convenient access to everything Aiken's south side has to offer. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the mature landscaping and inviting front porch--a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee and the sounds of nature. Follow the stone path along the side of the home, where you'll find a charming perennial and herb garden leading to the private, wooded, park-like backyard. The outdoor spaces are made for enjoying the seasons, whether you're hosting friends for a BBQ, gathering around the firepit for smores, or relaxing on the covered deck as the sun sets. The private irrigation well is an especially valuable feature, helping keep the landscaping looking its best without relying on public water. Inside, the home's three-level floor plan provides an exceptional amount of flexibility for today's changing lifestyles. The first level includes a kitchen, dining and living room layout that keeps you connected and is complete with convenient ½ bath and laundry/utility rooms. One side of the split second level features a 30x15 media/exercise/family playroom with wing storage. On the other side of the split is a true primary's retreat with sitting room, spacious en-suite bath, soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. A second bedroom on this level also has its own private bath and walk-in closet providing comfort and privacy for family or guests. The third-floor private suite is where this home really sets itself apart. Featuring a large bedroom and private bath with a walk-in shower, this versatile space can adapt to a variety of needs. It would be ideal for a college student seeking independence, a live-in caregiver, long-term guests, or multi-generational living, while also offering an excellent option for a private home office, creative studio, or additional personal retreat. It's a space that gives you options today and the flexibility to adapt as your needs change. Practical features haven't been overlooked either. The two-car garage includes built-in shelving, workbenches, and a utility sink, providing excellent space for projects, hobbies, and organization. Additional updates include LeafFilter gutters, a newer upstairs HVAC unit (2021), a new well pump (2021), and a new chimney cap with roof work completed in 2025. Located near Aiken's south-side shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home offers an appealing balance of privacy, natural beauty, flexible living space, and neighborhood amenities. Gem Lakes residents enjoy access to a 10-acre lake with a sandy beach, fishing docks, pavilion, playground, and pickleball courts, along with neighborhood gatherings that create a genuine sense of community. All of this comes with a remarkably low HOA fee of just $225 per year. Come see why this Gem Lakes home offers so much more than just a place to live--it offers options plus valuable financial advantages that are worth a closer look. Between the price improvement ($20K below original list price) and these incentives, this home just became one of the smartest buys on the market.
