This Downtown Pickens home is the rare kind of listing where the hard, expensive work is already done — and the price still leaves room to breathe. Whether you're searching for a smart personal residence or a rental that won't eat your cash flow with surprise repairs, this one deserves a look. Featuring three bedrooms, two full baths and real living space. At just over 1,300 square feet, the layout does not waste an inch. The living room alone runs approximately 27' x 11' — plenty of room for a full sectional and then some — and the dining room comfortably seats a full-size table with chairs to spare. Three genuinely large bedrooms and two full bathrooms round out a floorplan that lives bigger than its square footage suggests. The upgrades that actually matter! A lot of homes get "updated" with paint and new light fixtures. This one got the upgrades that protect your investment for the next 20 years. 2022: New roof, new heat pump (serviced twice yearly) with all-new ductwork, full plumbing replacement including the sewer line and a meter box upgrade completed by a licensed electrician. Kitchen renovation completed the same year. 2024: All subfloors replaced, with 100% waterproof flooring installed in key areas. New covered front porch deck and awning added. Add in brick underpinning, an attached carport and an updated gutter system, and you're looking at a home where the bones and the systems have been handled — not just the surface. A survey was completed in 2022 and is available on request, which can save you time and money during due diligence. Move-in ready, appliances included All appliances stay, including the washer and dryer — one less expense and one less thing to worry about before you settle in.

Buyers looking for a low-maintenance primary residence and investors looking for a tenant-ready property with minimal near-term capital needs should both take this one into serious consideration! What truly sets this property apart is its location. You're within easy reach of Pickens's revitalized downtown area with its charming shops and restaurants, while still enjoying a more peaceful residential setting. The proximity to major highways provides convenient access to Greenville and the broader Upstate region. Whether you're looking to establish roots or diversify your investment portfolio, 137 Rosemond Street deserves your attention. Schedule your tour — this is worth seeing in person.

Prime Corner Lot | Downtown Pickens, SC | City Utilities | Residential or Commercial Potential. Opportunities like this don't come around often. Nestled in the heart of downtown Pickens — one of Upstate South Carolina's most charming small cities — this level corner lot sits at the crossroads of possibility. Whether you're dreaming of building your personal home, creating a steady rental income stream, or positioning yourself for a future commercial venture, this property checks the boxes. Located in Pickens' downtown mixed-use corridor, the lot benefits from the kind of visibility and accessibility that most properties simply cannot offer. Corner lots at this price point, in an established city center, are genuinely rare finds — and this one comes ready to build with access to both City of Pickens water and sewer, eliminating the cost and complexity that typically comes with rural or undeveloped land. The terrain works in your favor, too. With a level grade and minimal site work required, you're not fighting the land before you even break ground. What you get instead is a clean slate in a community that's actively growing and investing in itself, right at the foothills of the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. The zoning currently supports residential single family development — think a custom-built home or an income-producing rental in a walkable downtown setting. And for investors with a longer view, the potential to pursue commercial rezoning adds yet another layer of upside to an already attractive package. Please note, per City of Pickens ordinance, mobile homes are not permitted within city limits. Whether you're a first-time builder, a seasoned investor, or simply someone who sees the value in owning a piece of a thriving mountain town before it's priced out of reach — this lot deserves a serious look. The Foothills are calling. Will you answer?
