In addition to the attached two-car garage, the property includes a detached garage/workshop measuring approximately 22' x 23', providing excellent storage, hobby, workshop, or vehicle space. Major improvements have already been completed, including a brand-new roof installed in August 2026, a recently inspected and pumped septic system, multiple water heaters including a tankless water heater, recent pressure washing of the home and driveway, and a professional interior cleaning completed in August. The sellers even completed a pre-listing home inspection and addressed the majority of the noted items through a licensed contractor, helping take the uncertainty out of homeownership. Gem Lakes residents enjoy outstanding neighborhood amenities including a lake for fishing and recreation, picnic and pavilion areas, playground, tennis and pickleball courts, and community gathering spaces that make it easy to enjoy an active lifestyle close to home.

Enjoy nearby restaurants, local shopping destinations, entertainment venues, parks, and all that historic downtown Aiken has to offer. While there are still opportunities for a new owner to add their own personal touches, the expensive and important items have already been addressed. This is a rare opportunity to own a well-cared-for home on one of the largest lots in Gem Lakes with a pool, detached garage, and significant recent improvements already in place.
