Remarks: Curb appeal GLEAMS as you pull up to this AMAZING home in Rivendell! Welcomed by a two-story foyer, and beautiful hardwoods you will immediately soak up the pride of ownership in this one! The Foyer leads to a Cooks DREAM KITCHEN with tons of cabinet space, walk in pantry, double ovens, gas cook top, and Granite countertops. Sit at the bar to enjoy a quick meal or stay a while in the extra seating area of this eat in kitchen. The OVERSIZED Living Area will be the perfect place to hang out with family and enjoy the toasty gas logs when winter rolls back around as well. Formal Dining will be the perfect place to host family and friends with its gorgeous COFFERED CEILING, and WAINSCOTING, and plenty of SPACE for a large table. The main level also offers a flex space that could be used for home office, playroom, etc. Take a tour upstairs and find the Master Suite that takes the cake! This 20X21 Bedroom has the WOW FACTOR, with enough room to have seating, or office, or as you will see a Nursery, it's just great! And did I mention the Walk in Closet? Bring ALL the shoes, clothes, and then some, because this one is a dream! The remaining three bedrooms are all a nice size, and two host a Jack & Jill Bath with separate vanities. This home is nestled on a corner lot with a fenced in back yard, and COVERED PORCH to enjoy year-round. The community is loaded with amenities, including pool with lazy river, exercise facility, sidewalks, and playground just three doors down with a great picnic area as well. Rivendell Community is located just minutes off the interstate, close proximity to shopping and dining, and a short drive to Lake Hartwell, Anderson University, and Clemson. Make an appointment today to see this one before its gone!!
The pool is open and the playground is jumping! Just in time for summer, this lovely home is on the market and ready for new owners. The spacious floor plan is a breath of fresh air with its two story foyer and open living space. Through the front door you’ll love the craftsman charm of the heavy molding, wainscoting down the hall, and nice rich & dark hand-scraped hardwood floors. Follow down the hall into the vast kitchen space which features granite counter tops and dark stained cabinets (and PLENTY of them), stainless appliances, a center island for cooking and preparing meals, double wall ovens, a walk-in pantry, and an oversized bar for eating on the go! There is enough space for a breakfast table or lounging area as well. The recessed living room with its arched accent walls separates the space while allowing you to still enjoy the open floor plan. The stacked stone fireplace and cozy blue hues makes decorating a breeze! Check out the buffalo plaid curtains….cute, right?! This classic dining room will hold your oversized table and all the side pieces while allowing everyone to fit comfortably in the space. The coffered ceiling and wainscoting add that touch of ‘extra’ and the farmhouse blue walls keep it modern. Need even more living space? How about room for a home office, or playroom, or teen room? This front space has arched entries, a bay window and tons of natural sunlight so your options are endless. Upstairs is the awesome (truly awesome) master bedroom and master bath suite with 3 additional bedrooms and guest bath. Let’s talk about this master suite though! Space for lounging, reading, and additional office area, exercise corner, etc. And, the master bath suite is incredible. Dual vanities, tile shower and separate soaking tub and a walk-in closet that is Pinterest worthy! The adorable pink bedroom with its little chandelier will make you smile and could double as an awesome workspace or crafting room. Two additional bedrooms are both large and both have walk in closets. The jack-and-jill bathroom allows each to have a vanity and share the tub/shower space. Plenty of second floor storage and a walk-in laundry room with enough space to pop open the ironing board. This 4 bedroom home is perched on a lovely corner lot leading into the cul de sac, has a wrought iron fenced backyard and covered back porch. Nestled inside the Rivendell community, loaded with amenities such as a playground, pool, exercise facility, clubhouse and sidewalks, it doesn’t get much better than this! Located close to Lake Hartwell, Anderson University, and Clemson University, it’s also a short jump to the interstate and easy access to restaurants and shops in the charming downtown district of Anderson. Showing all weekend! Welcome to 1 Tolkien Drive!
