In Real Estate, location always wins-and this home earns a gold Medal. Set on a rare 1.69-acre homesite in one of Sumter's most desirable areas, you're less than a mile from Wilson Hall, within three miles of Alice Drive Elementary and Middle School, and only minutes from downtown Sumter, Swan Lake Gardens, and the Shot Pouch Trail. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the spacious kitchen features a thoughtfully planned "zoned" layout with a dedicated cleanup area, a generous walk-in pantry, and convenient access to a nearby half bath and laundry room — perfectly positioned for busy family life. The kitchen overlooks the screened porch and flows seamlessly into the expansive vaulted great room anchored by a gas fireplace. The massive great room also includes its own conveniently located half bath, making gatherings effortless for guests while maintaining privacy in the bedroom wings. The rear of the home is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that fill the living spaces with morning sunlight and views of the private backyard. Step outside to a brick patio and fountain surrounded by an impressive 488-linear-foot privacy brick wall, creating a peaceful outdoor retreat. A charming bar area — truly the home's "jewel box" — connects to a private office and full bath, making it ideal for a fourth bedroom, guest suite, or in-law space. All 4,371 square feet are on one level. Each bedroom is generously sized with its own full bath and walk-in closet. The expansive primary suite includes separate his-and-hers bathrooms and walk-in closets, offering exceptional space and comfort. Homes offering this combination of acreage, privacy, and proximity rarely become available. Schedule your private showing or virtual tour to experience it in person.
