Country quiet and a pool on a Springlake acre
City life is fine until it isn't. Set on roughly an acre on Springlake Road in York, South Carolina, a few doors down from Spring Lake Country Club, this full brick custom home trades close neighbors and setback rules for open lawn, a screened porch, and an in-ground pool. There is no HOA, so the boat, the camper, and the work truck are your business and nobody else's. Mornings out here are quiet, and the first tee is a short walk up the road.

Down the steps from the screened porch is a deck that steps to a large in-ground pool, wrapped in wide concrete decking with room for loungers and a covered dining area beside it. Black aluminum fencing encloses the pool yard, which handles both safety and pets, and the rest of the backyard is fenced as well. Past the fence the lawn keeps going, so there is still room for a full size game of whatever the kids are playing.
-
The primary bedroom sits on the first floor with a tray ceiling and a bay window deep enough for a real sitting area. The bath has a dual vanity, a garden tub under a window, a separate glass shower, and two walk-in closets. With the office at the front of the house, you can live and work entirely on one level, which is one of the most requested combinations we hear from buyers and one of the hardest to find at this price.
-
Transom windows, custom trim, wide plank flooring, crown molding, and a two-story foyer with wood treads and iron balusters. These are the first things to go when a builder is chasing a price point, and they are expensive to add back later. The transoms and arched windows also put daylight high on the walls instead of only at eye level, so the main floor stays bright on a gray morning.
-
Custom wood cabinetry, granite counters, a tile backsplash, a gas cooktop, and double wall ovens, with a center island and a raised bar that seats people without putting them in the cook's way. The breakfast area opens through French doors to the back of the house, and a keeping room with a stacked stone fireplace sits just beyond it under its own vaulted ceiling. Three connected gathering spaces on the main level, all within sight of whoever is cooking.
-
Spring Lake Country Club anchors this pocket of York County, a semi-private 18 hole course with a pro shop, a practice facility, and a dining room. The neighborhood grew up around it, which is why the lots are generous and the street stays quiet. You get the amenity of a golf community without the dues, the assessments, or the rulebook.
More about this home
Built in 2008 and finished to a standard that shows up in the trim work, this full brick home offers 3,904 square feet across two levels, four bedrooms, and three and a half baths. The main level holds the primary suite, a dedicated office, a formal dining room with a tray ceiling and wainscoting, a great room under a vaulted ceiling with a fireplace and built-ins, and a keeping room off the kitchen. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths, and a vaulted flex room large enough for a sectional, a television, and a game table at once. Outside, a wide concrete drive runs to a three car side entry garage, in-ground irrigation keeps the lawn green, and a storage shed at the back of the property handles the mower and the pool gear.

1177 Springlake Road sits west of downtown York, South Carolina, in the pocket of large lots that grew up around Spring Lake Country Club. Downtown York is minutes away and is more of a destination than people expect, with a 170 acre National Register historic district, local boutiques, and a handful of restaurants and a brewery along Congress Street. Rock Hill is roughly 13 miles east for the hospital and the bulk of the area's shopping, Lake Wylie is close for boat days, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport is about 22 miles up the road. That is the trade out here. A few more minutes in the car in exchange for an acre, a pool, and quiet mornings.
