NEW PRICE — $620,000! MOTIVATED SELLER! Clemson parents, professors, alumni and anyone looking for space, privacy and a truly special property just minutes from Clemson University—this one deserves your attention!
Welcome to “The House on the Hill,” a custom-built home offering the space, privacy and character that are increasingly difficult to find this close to Clemson. Set well back from the road on beautiful grounds, this longtime family home was thoughtfully designed, substantially built and carefully improved over the years.
The impressive 4-inch-thick asphalt circular driveway creates a grand approach and provides abundant parking in addition to the oversized two-car garage. Outside, mature landscaping, peaceful koi ponds, irrigation, extensive drainage systems, a deck and gazebo create a setting designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment.
Inside, you'll find generous living spaces, hardwood flooring and a kitchen featuring classic oak cabinetry, a new stove and microwave. But there's even more downstairs! The lower level was made for entertaining with a pool table area, entertainment room with projector and screen wired for surround sound, and Jacuzzi shower—the perfect setup for Clemson game days, movie nights or a house full of guests.
The owners have invested extensively in the things buyers don't always see but certainly appreciate. Improvements include PEX plumbing, Trane HVAC equipment with transferable warranties, newer heat pumps, ductwork, line sets and drains, climate control for humidity management, a newer 55-gallon water heater with expansion tank and a roof only a few years old. Following a previous plumbing break, affected piping was replaced with PEX and the basement was professionally restored after moisture removal, including new ceilings and sheetrock.
The attention to detail continues outside with extensive 4-inch drainage piping, French drains near the koi ponds, a newer pond pump, irrigation and even a dog house wired for electricity. The deck and gazebo were recently treated with Behr Woodland Red stain carrying a 10-year warranty. Termite protection has also been maintained through a long-term treatment program.
Need even more possibilities? A prepared pad on the southwest side of the property may offer potential for a future detached garage, workshop, boat or recreational-vehicle storage, or possibly an additional dwelling/in-law suite, subject to zoning, permitting and applicable approvals. For buyers seeking additional privacy, the lot directly behind the home may also be available for separate purchase; availability and terms to be independently verified.
For decades, this home was known as “The House on the Hill”—the place for prom parties, homecoming celebrations, holidays and gatherings, and the invitation everyone hoped to receive.
Now, with a new price of $620,000 and a seller ready to make a deal, The House on the Hill is ready for its next chapter. Minutes from Clemson University, this is not a cookie-cutter home—and at this price, it may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Schedule your showing and come see it for yourself!
