208 Long Branch Road

Sometimes houses need updating and "the bones" make them worthy. Like a classic...things change...but a solid engine makes the car worth repainting! This is one of those houses...because it is a one owner, built by two licensed residential contractors! It's anchored to the foundation every 6 feet! The walls, built in 1981, exceeded specs by up to 300x. Flooring on the 2nd and 3rd floor is 3 layers thick for stability and sound dampening. But besides the technical requirements, there's lots of love here...the front facade is 1" thick cypress wood planks hewn for the old family property in Bamberg County. There are so many details added in this home, there's simply not room to describe them all. The family who built it included things they loved that you will also: like a sauna near the pool, a blower on the basement fireplace that helps heat 2 floors when the power is out, all main doors are 36" wide to accommodate a wheelchair, a little laundry chute, and 50-year shingles which are only 6 years old now! The pool liner was replaced just 5 years ago. The .33 acre pond they built is fed by 16 springs and never has dried up. Imagine fishing for bass and bream without worrying about jet skis scaring the fish! Come see for yourself how you could add some sweat equity to what this family created and be the envy of all your friends...a big house with amazing kitchen, a workshop, garage, your own pond and 3 acres. Convenient to Lexington and Lake Murray. No HOA but instead, PRIVACY!
