Completely renovated & full of character, this adorable two-level bungalow in the heart of Salem offers a unique combination of residential comfort, flexible space & investment potential. Use it as a full-time residence, take advantage of the versatile first level for additional living space or a commercial office, or create a short-term rental in an area known for incredible outdoor recreation. The extensive top to bottom renovation includes a brand-new central HVAC system, new ductwork, & updated 200 amp electrical throughout the home Additional improvements include new LVP flooring throughout the entire main level, new vinyl soffit, fascia & seamless gutters, new exterior & interior doors, a newly constructed deck & entry steps, fresh interior & exterior paint, updated LED lighting & brand-new kitchen appliances including a gas range. Much of the work you don't immediately see has been addressed as well, making this far more than a cosmetic renovation. The location is especially appealing for lake lovers & vacation guests. The property is 6 miles from Devils Fork State Park, the only access to Lake Jocassee, & only 4.5 miles from the nearest Lake Keowee boat launch, placing two of the Southeast's most beautiful lake destinations within minutes of your front door. With no hotels in the area, short-term rentals are popular investments. There is room on the property for guests to park their boat while enjoying the nearby lakes. The main living space is located on the upper level, where an abundance of windows & natural light create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. The spacious living & dining area flows into the kitchen through a large pass-through with breakfast-bar seating. A gas Buck Stove is installed for extra warmth in the winter & also for emergency backup heat. One of the home's most charming features is the view from the windows, where mature shade trees & the green lawn below create an almost treehouse-like feel. Step outside to the new upper-level deck, offering plenty of room for outdoor dining & relaxing while overlooking the surrounding greenery. Mature landscaping & a natural hedge provide added privacy despite the convenient in-town location. Also on the main level are two bedrooms & two full baths. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light & features a walk-in closet & private full bath. A second full bath is conveniently located off the main living area, beside the second bedroom. The home's distinctive metal window awnings keep the original character while helping shade the interior from direct sunlight. The entirely above-grade first level dramatically expands the property's possibilities. A large finished open area with its own exterior access can serve as an additional den, recreation room, home gym, or even a public business space. An additional room with an oversized walk-in closet could be used as a third bedroom or private office. With three exterior entrances on this level, the layout lends itself particularly well to a variety of living, working, or guest arrangements. This first level also includes an unfinished storage & utility area with washer & dryer hookups, exterior access & plenty of room for a workshop or additional storage. With its extensive renovation, flexible two-level layout, downtown Salem location & exceptional proximity to Lake Jocassee & Lake Keowee, 221 Pine St. offers possibilities that are hard to duplicate.
