About the property

Renovated 4BR/2.5BA Traditional Home on a Generous Lot

The moment you pull into the driveway at 201 Oak Cove Drive you notice the scale — a level, third-of-an-acre lot that gives this Lake Carolina home rare outdoor room for the neighborhood. The fenced backyard creates a private play area and garden opportunity while mature plantings frame a tidy front elevation. Inside, the house has been refreshed from top to bottom: a recently installed roof, fresh interior paint, new carpet in the bedrooms, and durable laminate flooring downstairs make the home feel current and low-maintenance.

The heart of the home is a bright, well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and an eat-in nook that opens toward the family room. A formal dining room sits just off the kitchen for dinners and gatherings, while the living area centers on a gas fireplace — a practical focal point for colder evenings and an inviting spot for conversation. The two-story plan gives separation between public and private spaces without sacrificing the comfortable footprint of roughly 2,050 square feet.

Upstairs, the primary suite is thoughtfully appointed with a garden tub, separate shower, and a roomy walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms provide flexible space for a home office, gym, or children's rooms. The 2.5 baths are clean and updated; new fixtures and finishes reflect the recent renovation work noted in the listing.

Practical conveniences include a two-car attached garage, driveway parking for additional cars, central HVAC, and municipal utilities. Beyond the parcel, Lake Carolina’s master-planned amenities expand living options: pools, trails, a town center, tennis courts, lake access, a dog park and YMCA are all part of everyday life here. Commuters will appreciate easy access to Hardscrabble Road and nearby shopping at Village at Sandhill, with Sesquicentennial State Park a short drive for weekend outdoor adventures.

This property shows as move-in ready and represents a strong value in a community that has seen steady appreciation. With recent updates reducing immediate maintenance needs and local comps supporting a market value in the low $300Ks, this home is well suited for families seeking school choices within Richland 02, buyers wanting turnkey condition, or investors pursuing a desirable rental in a sought-after neighborhood. Contact listing agent Maria Calcutt at Coldwell Banker Realty to schedule a private showing and review renovation details.

Editorial market perspective

Lake Carolina is currently favoring sellers: inventory sits around 2.5 months with an average days on market near 30 days for single-family homes, and many listings in the subdivision receive competitive interest quickly. Recent comparable sales within a half-mile indicate a range of roughly $290K–$320K, supporting an estimated midpoint around $305K for a renovated 2,050-SF home like this one. Year-over-year appreciation in the corridor is positive (approximately 5% over the last 12 months) while five-year gains show stronger growth (~25%). Single-family homes in master-planned neighborhoods like Lake Carolina perform particularly well because of built-in amenities and strong schools; they typically attract family buyers and investors seeking stable rent performance. Vacancy is low and rental comps show monthly rents in the $1,900–$2,250 range, suggesting solid yield potential for investors. Given limited inventory and recent upgrades (new roof, fresh finishes, updated kitchen), this property is well positioned in the present market — buyers can expect relatively quick sales cycles, while investors will find favorable long-term fundamentals. As always, verify specifics — roof warranty, permits, and tax implications — before closing.
