103 cardinal cove road

Welcome to 103 Cardinal Cove Rd. You don't find many opportunities for a true log home in the Irmo area, and you certainly don't find them off Marina Road and Liberty on the Lake and Nautical Boat Club, tucked back on a quiet cove just a short walk from the shores of Lake Murray. This is the kind of property people drive past and slow down to look at. Exposed beam ceilings, a wood-burning masonry fireplace, and real log construction give this home a warmth and character that no cookie-cutter neighborhood build can replicate. Charming and well-kept, this home is well-maintained. New windows mean lower energy bills and no drafts. The HVAC and all ductwork were replaced in 2018 and are on an active maintenance plan. The roof is a 35-year architectural shingle installed in 2009. A whole-home Generac generator, still under warranty, means you stay powered on no matter the weather. A pre-inspection was completed, so you're buying with genuine peace of mind, not crossed fingers. The master suite is a true retreat: his-and-her closets, a private bath, and a spa multi-head shower that turns a Tuesday night into something worth looking forward to. The living room centers around that masonry fireplace, and with an estimated cord and a half of split wood included with the home, you're set for fires all season long. The kitchen features luxury vinyl plank flooring, stained cabinetry, an eat-in space, and a pantry, which is practical and easy to maintain. Outside, covered front and back porches plus a screened porch mean you can enjoy the sounds of this wooded lot in any weather. The deck has been maintained and restained. There's a workshop and storage shed for the hobbyist or DIYer. And the yard is genuinely productive, with two peach trees, a fig tree, elderberry bushes, a muscadine vine, and established herb plantings of oregano, rosemary, and more. For the 2026-2027 school year, zoned for Lexington/Richland Five, Ballentine Elementary, Spring Hill Middle, and Chapin High, one of the most sought-after school districts in the entire Midlands. If you know, you know. Eligible for FHA, conventional, and USDA rural housing financing. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, the
