Brick Ranch on Nearly 1-Acre with 2-Car Garage
What first stands out at 6722 Salem Church Road is the generous, level yard—just under an acre—framed by a durable brick facade and a long-lasting metal roof. This single-story ranch delivers 1,710 square feet of straightforward, livable space: two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and the kind of solid construction that invites thoughtful updates rather than total reconstruction.
Inside, the layout favors comfortable everyday living. A welcoming living area centers on a working fireplace, offering a natural gathering point for cooler evenings. The home was built with practical systems in mind: forced-air heating, propane service, municipal water, and a concrete foundation. The presence of a septic system and local electric service reflect the property’s rural-but-connected setting.
Room sizes and interior finishes are typical of mid-century ranch construction—sturdy, functional, and ready for cosmetic modernization where you choose to add your touch. With 1,710 square feet, there’s space to reconfigure living and sleeping areas if desired, or to refresh flooring, paint, and fixtures to create a refreshed, contemporary feel while preserving the home’s brick shell and metal roof—two notable durability advantages.
Outdoors, the nearly one-acre lot opens possibilities: a large backyard for gardening and play, room for a workshop or future outbuilding (subject to local approvals), and direct frontage on Salem Church Road for easy access. At roughly 3.5 miles from both Gordo Elementary and Gordo High School and about 3.7 miles from downtown Gordo, the property balances quiet country character with proximity to school and town services.
This home will appeal to buyers who value solid bones and land in a market where single-family homes tend to move quickly. Whether you’re seeking a comfortable primary residence, a downsized footprint with outdoor room, or a project to capture added value through targeted updates, 6722 Salem Church Road is a practical, well-situated option in Pickens County.

A factual market snapshot around 6722 Salem Church Road.
Local market data for Gordo and the surrounding Pickens County corridor points to a seller-favorable environment. Recent area statistics show an average days-on-market near 22 days and a neighborhood median sale price around $230,000, indicating homes that are priced appropriately are selling briskly. Comparable sales used in valuation for this property suggest an estimated value range between $150,000 and $180,000 (midpoint roughly $165,000), with an approximate price-per-square-foot near $96. Inventory is limited and publicly available months-of-supply figures are sparse, but anecdotal signals and the swift DOM metric support a tight market for single-family homes. For buyers, that means timely decisions are often required; for sellers, well-maintained properties with sensible pricing are likely to attract attention. Given the home’s age (built 1950) and average condition rating, buyers should budget for maintenance or selective renovations—those improvements frequently translate into strong returns in this market segment. As always, verify all items (roof, HVAC, septic, taxes) during inspection and due diligence before committing.
