Property Description
Welcome to 1030 Kismet Drive in Gem Lakes, one of Aiken's most established and sought-after communities, where spacious homesites, recreational amenities, and a true neighborhood atmosphere come together. Situated on an exceptional 1.15-acre lot, this brick ranch offers the space, updates, and lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find. With approximately 2,286 square feet, this warm and inviting home features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and numerous recent improvements that allow the next owner to move in with confidence. The beautifully remodeled kitchen (2021) serves as the heart of the home and showcases quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated tile flooring, and a comfortable breakfast area perfect for everyday dining. For entertaining and family gatherings, the home also offers a formal dining room, a spacious den, and a welcoming living room centered around a gas fireplace. The private owner's suite features an updated bathroom and walk-in closet, while hardwood floors, tile, and carpet add warmth and character throughout the home. Outside, the property truly shines. Enjoy your own backyard retreat with an in-ground swimming pool that has been professionally maintained every other week, offering the perfect setting for relaxing weekends and summer entertaining. 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. Conveniently located on Aiken's desirable south side, you'll be just minutes from grocery stores, shopping, restaurants, medical facilities, downtown Aiken, and major employers. 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.
