Dual-Primary Brookhaven Plan with Private Yard and Community Amenities
What sets 513 S Orchard Farms Ave apart is the rare Brookhaven floor plan with two true primary suites — one on the main level and a second upstairs — ideal for multi-generational living or a private guest retreat. Step into a dramatic two-story foyer framed by arched doorways and oak hardwood flooring that extends across most of the main level. The main-floor primary is generous in scale, with a deep soaking tub, separate walk-in shower and a huge walk-in closet that makes daily routines effortless.
The heart of the home is bright and comfortable: a granite-countertop kitchen that opens toward the great room with a gas-starter fireplace, creating a warm gathering point for family nights and entertaining. Recent updates — new carpet upstairs and fresh paint throughout — keep the home move-in ready while preserving classic details like the oak floors and arched interior architecture. The two-story volume and sightlines give the living areas an open, airy feeling without sacrificing cozy, human-scaled spaces.
Outside, a 12x12 deck overlooks a level, private yard served by a full irrigation system — space enough for play, a garden bed, or shaded lounge furniture. The attached two-car garage plus driveway parking for additional vehicles make life easy for busy families. Practical systems include central HVAC, forced-air gas heating, and an architectural shingle roof; key maintenance items (roof age, permits, HOA covenants) are flagged for buyer due diligence.
Orchard Farms is built for weekend activity and weekday convenience. The neighborhood offers a pool, tennis/pickleball courts, playground, fields, clubhouse and fitness room, plus an active swim team — amenities that extend living space beyond the yard. With Five Forks Shopping Center just over a mile away and Heritage Park roughly 3.5 miles, you’re close to dining, groceries and outdoor recreation while still enjoying a quiet, residential street. For families, Oakview Elementary and J.L. Mann High Academy (both highly rated) strengthen the appeal. This property blends thoughtful floorplan design, solid updates, and community lifestyle in a market with limited inventory — a compelling opportunity in Simpsonville’s Five Forks area.

A factual market snapshot around 513 S Orchard Farms Ave.
Simpsonville’s Five Forks submarket remains squarely in seller-favored territory: inventory sits around 2.5 months and average days on market run near 30, signaling brisk demand for well-maintained single-family homes. The neighborhood median sale price is approximately $415,000, but comparable sales within Orchard Farms and similar nearby listings support a current range of $460K–$490K for homes with this layout and condition. Price-per-square-foot metrics in recent comps cluster around $161–$167, which aligns with the estimated $173/SF valuation for this property. Single-family homes here continue to appreciate steadily (roughly 5% year-over-year and ~25% over five years), driven by strong household incomes, desirable schools, and community amenities. For buyers, low inventory means competition — good listings move quickly — while sellers benefit from sustained demand and solid price recovery. Investors will note rental demand with estimated monthly rent near $2,400 (gross yield ~6%), but primary-residence buyers will value the dual-primary configuration and neighborhood amenities. Verify roof condition, HOA rules, and renovation permits as part of standard due diligence.
