102 Ridenour Avenue

Some homes need a to-do list. This one comes with the list already checked off. Step inside this Carilion home and you're met with light from windows on nearly every wall, freshly refinished hardwoods, and new paint throughout the main level.

It feels bright, open, and ready to live in from day one. The kitchen has a new range and matching microwave, so the appliances you'll use every day are new too. With daylight pouring in while you cook, it's easy to picture dinner here and then carrying plates straight out to the new deck.

The primary suite is on the main level, which gives you single-level living with the other bedrooms upstairs for privacy. The suite has two separate closets, so there's room for everyone's wardrobe, and the bath was updated with new plumbing fixtures and mirrors for a clean, modern look. The laundry room is also on the main level, with cabinets above for detergent and supplies, so you'll never carry baskets up and down the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, a loft opens up as a second living space. It's a sunny spot for a reading nook, a homework station, or game nights, and it gives everyone upstairs a place to spread out. Around it are three more bedrooms and plenty of storage.

The fourth bedroom has its own closet, so it counts as a true bedroom, but it also works as a bonus room: a movie room for Friday nights, a home office with a door you can close, or a guest room ready when family visits. Just as important, there's storage for the holiday bins, sports gear, and suitcases that need a place to live. New Trex decking on both the main and upper levels gives you two outdoor living spaces.

Trex is low-maintenance composite, so you won't need to stain, seal, or worry about splinters. You'll spend weekends using the decks instead of maintaining them. Rear alley access leads to the back of the home, so the driveway and garage stay out of sight from the street and the front yard stays clean.

It opens to an oversized garage with epoxy flooring that cleans up easily and has room for more than just the cars: a workbench, bikes, the lawn gear. The 2023 updates include a new roof and a new HVAC system. Those are two of the biggest expenses in any home, and they're already done.

Carilion adds a central park with a reflection pond and pavilion, pocket parks, and a resort-style pool. This home has a front-row seat to the gazebo, where the neighborhood gathers for food trucks and live music, so community nights are a short walk from your door. It's also about a mile from the Swamp Rabbit Trail and minutes from Travelers Rest and Furman.

4 bedrooms. 2.5 baths.

2,845 square feet. The house is full of light, and the big projects are already done.
