New Craftsman on a Half-Acre Corner Lot Near Anderson University
What sets 215 Ligon Drive apart is the combination of craftsman character and an unusually generous corner parcel—0.58 acres with roughly 136 feet of frontage on Ligon Drive. Walk up to a classic covered front porch and you immediately sense the intention behind this new construction: traditional proportions and modern performance. The single-story layout sits on a level lot, offering privacy and room for outdoor plans without the maintenance headaches of a larger estate.
Inside, the open living area centers on a stone gas-log fireplace framed by luxury vinyl plank floors that extend through the main gathering spaces. The kitchen was designed to stand up to daily life: painted cabinetry, stainless appliances with a gas range, and a marble-topped island large enough for casual dining or homework. The finishes are thoughtful rather than fussy—durable materials chosen to look good year after year.
The owner’s suite lives like a retreat with double sinks, a walk-in shower, and a custom-built walk-in closet that will handle a full wardrobe with ease. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom keep family and guests comfortable. Practical systems—central AC, heat pump heating, architectural shingle roof, and concrete plank construction—mean modern performance under classic styling.
Outdoor living is simple and inviting: a covered back porch expands your usable living area, while the corner lot provides lawn, garden, or play space. A two-car attached garage plus driveway parking make daily routines effortless. Located about 1.2 miles from Anderson University and 1.5 miles from downtown Anderson, you get quick access to restaurants, events, and services while enjoying a quieter residential setting. With an assessed value of $450,000 and a competitive list price of $469,900, this newly completed craftsman is a smart choice for buyers seeking a turnkey home close to the city’s amenities.

A factual market snapshot around 215 Ligon Dr.
Anderson’s market currently reads as balanced with a slight tilt toward sellers for well-priced new construction. Inventory sits near three months, and average days on market are about 45—neither overheated nor slow. Median sale prices in the area are approximately $305,000, with one-year appreciation roughly 5% and five-year gains near 20%, reflecting steady demand driven by local employers and Anderson University. Comparable craftsman-style homes nearby closed recently in the $240k–$366k range, but those properties were older or smaller; this new 2,200 SF home lists at $469,900 (about $214/SF), aligning with valuation estimates between $450k and $480k for comparable new construction. Single-family homes, particularly newer builds with modern systems and low maintenance exteriors, are performing well—buyer interest is strong where quality and location align. For buyers, this is a reasonable time to buy for long-term appreciation and immediate occupancy; investors should note an estimated rental market around $2,200/month, driven in part by proximity to the university.
