LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Welcome to 1816 Bethel Road. This charming home is located near the popular Five Forks area of Simpsonville. Built-in 1997, the home has 2340 sq ft. with 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and sits on a huge 0.78 acre lot. There are two owner’s suites - one upstairs and the other on the main level.

The bright and spacious kitchen has white cabinetry, smooth surface countertops, and a walk-in pantry. There is also an attached 2 car garage and a huge, paved driveway that can hold up to 8 vehicles. Currently the garage houses 1 car as a portion of the garage is being used as a home office but could easily be converted back to hold 2 cars. In addition, as the new owner of this home, you will enjoy having a dedicated main level laundry room with new ceramic tile floors, a formal dining room, a wood burning fireplace, and tons of storage space. Some noteworthy upgrades include an open concept living design, solid wood interior doors throughout, hardwood flooring, a covered full front porch ideal for rocking chairs, an oversized grilling deck, a new hot water tank installed in 2018, an upgraded 200 AMP electrical service with all new outlets and switches, and a white metal roof that was newly installed in 2014.
