Property Description
Welcome to 3503 Summit Drive, a beautiful gem, nestled beneath the majestic canopy of ten 100+ year old Live Oaks, creating a serene and picturesque setting on the west side of the city of Aiken. This spacious 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom offers 3694 square feet of heated and cooled space, blending classic Southern charm and architecture with updated functionality.
The main level spans 2,451 square feet and features a generous layout perfect for entertaining and everyday comfort. Enjoy a bright and airy living room, a well-appointed kitchen, and a formal dining area, all with views of the stunning tree-lined yard and gardens.
The 1,243 finished square foot walk-out basement adds incredible versatility - ideal for multi-generational living, guest quarters, a home office, or recreation space. Enter through the front yard through the carport of through the back yard, this space can be easily separated from the main level, or can be included in the overall living space. Access to the main is through a stairway with doors at either end.
There is a Generac whole house generator. When the power goes out, the generator comes on. Next ice storm or hurricane (perish the thought), you're protected, even for a pedestrian, more common, thunderstorm.
Situated on a gorgeous landscaped lot, the property offers a private, park-like retreat while still being conveniently close to downtown Aiken, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools. The grounds are terraced both front and back, with patios and a front and side porch in the front. The rear has a large wood deck (636 sf) overlooking more terraces and a firepit for warming by the fire or roasting marshmallows or hot dogs. The back also includes a commercial grade greenhouse and a detached garage/barn/workshop. The entire backyard is fenced, perfect for your pets with flowers of various kinds 360 degrees around the house.
Recently the house had a new roof installed (Hixon), fresh paint inside and out, a 3-year HVAC unit with a mini-split hvac for the downstairs area which is also ducted for the HVAC upstairs unit.
The home was built in 1951 by the original owners and the original plan of the house is available. The current owner is just the second owner of this 74 year old house which has been well cared for over the span of 3/4 of a century. The old architecture of the house includes rafter tails in the eaves giving a classic look not seen on the newer houses built in the 1960s through current day. There are many features to see in this house.
A block east on Summit will lead you to the City of Aiken's public Kalmia Hill park. This park includes two tennis courts, a full length basketball court, a walking track which walks the perimeter, and a children's park and covered gazebo for hosting parties. There are no fees to enjoy the park as it is free to everyone. Kalmia Hill does not have a homeowners association.
With the timeless trees, spacious high ceiling interior, and flexible layout, this is more than a home-It's a LEGACY!!!
