Modernized Mill House available in the historic town of Newry! Newry is located off Hwy 130 near Lake Keowee. This small town is 8 minutes to downtown Seneca and 15 minutes to Clemson. The lakeside Tiki Hut and Keowee Marina are also 8 minutes from Newry. There is so much history here and this cute 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house was built in 1946, one of the latest built homes in the community as most were built before 1912. This property is so charming and unique. No cookie cutter here! There is plenty of room for a family to breathe in this home as the ceilings are higher than 8 feet on the main level and the floor plan is expansive and open. As you walk in the front door mud room, you'll see the large living room/dining room combination hallmarked by the red oak custom-staircase. The eat-in kitchen has enough room for an 8-person square table in addition to the breakfast bar. So much room to entertain and to accommodate a family. The kitchen is a dream for the family cook as there are newer stainless-steel appliances, and the oven range offers double ovens. There is plumbing ready to go for a prep sink to be installed in the island if so desired and the deck off the kitchen is great for cooking out and has a privacy wall. There is an abundance of yard for kids and animals as there is a backyard, front yard, and a side yard. The oversized master bedroom suite has two closets and plenty of room for a sitting area. The second bedroom on the main level is perfect for a nursery or children's room. The laundry on the main level includes a new washer and dryer that has barely been used. The second full bathroom completes the main level. At the top of the stairs is an open space that could be used for a den, an office, a recreation space, workout area, or kid's playroom. So many options! Bedroom three is upstairs and is spacious and features an impressive walk-in closet. Ample storage room is available in the attic as well as the 11'x29' (over 300 sq. feet) long storage shed. You will own a part of history and probably run into people that have lived in the community for 50 years. Access to the driveway is through the church parking lot and that is how it has been for decades. This simply adds to the charm of owning this home!
