Updated Brick Ranch on a Level 0.4-Acre Lot in Hillbrook
This solid brick ranch sits on a level 0.4-acre parcel in Hillbrook and delivers a rare combination of single-story ease and modern updates. With 1,895 square feet, four bedrooms and three full baths, the floorplan balances everyday practicality with thoughtful touches: a recently refreshed kitchen anchored by granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a wood-burning fireplace, and generous living spaces that accommodate both casual family life and weekend entertaining.
Outside, a broad deck overlooks a deep, level backyard — enough room for a vegetable garden, play area, or future pool — and the enclosed carport adds flexible covered space for a workshop, storage, or sheltered parking. The home’s brick veneer and architectural shingle roof reflect steady upkeep; mechanical systems include central air and forced-air natural gas heating. A straightforward driveway yields two parking spaces and convenient street access from Gaston Drive.
Location is one of this property’s strongest assets. Hillbrook homeowners enjoy proximity to Hillcrest Shopping Center (about 1.5 miles), Spartanburg Regional Medical Center (approximately 3 miles), and the collegiate energy of Wofford College (3.5 miles). Outdoor options are close at hand as well — Croft State Park sits within an easy drive for hiking, mountain biking and seasonal events. Spartanburg School District 7 serves the neighborhood, with Jesse Boyd Elementary and McCracken Middle receiving above-average ratings.
Market data and recent sales support the value here: local comps show 4BR/3BA ranches closing in the $285k–$300k range over the past six months, and an appraisal-based analysis places this home in a $275,000–$305,000 range with a midpoint near $290,000. Whether you’re seeking a turnkey primary residence with room to grow or a rental with strong neighborhood demand (estimated rent roughly $1,800–$2,000/mo), this property is a practical, well-located option. Buyers should confirm age and condition of major systems during inspection due to the home’s 1973 construction, and verify permits for any past renovations.

A factual market snapshot around 510 Gaston Dr.
Hillbrook and the broader Spartanburg eastside are currently exhibiting a balanced market with pockets of steady demand. Local market metrics show roughly 3 months of inventory and average days on market near 45 — indicators of a market where sellers receive consistent interest but buyers still have room to evaluate terms. Median sale price in the area sits around $275,000 with one-year appreciation close to 5% and five-year appreciation near 20%, reflecting steady long-term growth rather than rapid volatility.
Single-family ranches in this price band remain popular with downsizers, families seeking single-level living, and investors targeting reliable rental income. Recent comparable sales of local 4BR/3BA homes ranged from $285k–$300k; using those comps the estimated value for 510 Gaston Drive falls between $275k and $305k (midpoint ~$290k). Rental comparables project monthly rent near $1,900, producing a gross yield in the high single digits — attractive to buy-and-hold investors if financing aligns.
For buyers: expect a market where well-priced, updated homes receive offers within a few weeks; bring pre-approval for competitive offers. For sellers: properly staged, objectively priced homes are selling in the current environment within the local average DOM. Key considerations include verifying age and condition of major systems (roof, HVAC, electrical) given the 1973 construction, and confirming permits for past remodels to avoid appraisal or closing delays.
