About 706 Ploma Dr
Midcentury Charm. Urban Farmstead Vibes. And All the Space You’ll Ever Need — Welcome to 706 Ploma Drive, Seneca. Nestled in the heart of in-town Seneca — just 1.4 miles from the soul of Ram Cat Alley’s shopping, dining, and small-town magic — this 1963 midcentury brick ranch is giving iconic style meets modern day function in the most unexpected, delightful ways. With 3,360 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a fully finished basement, this beauty was built to last and updated to love. The 1.44-acre lot delivers the kind of space you rarely find within city limits — **room to stretch out, grow veggies, pick flowers, raise chickens (coop included!), and dip your toes in your own peaceful backyard creek. Yes, you read that right. A creek. In your backyard. Imagine morning coffee on the deck (brand new in 2020), overlooking the trees and water. Or football games on the screened-in porch while burgers sizzle on the grill. This is the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about. Inside, the vibe is warm, welcoming, and just right. The double carport makes everyday living easy. Step straight into the oversized breakfast nook — the perfect spot to drop bags, boots, and backpacks. From here, the flow is seamless: head to the heart-of-the-home kitchen, complete with tons of storage. Slide into the expansive dining room ready to host holiday feasts, weekend brunches, and every memory in between. There’s space for your coffee bar, a reading nook, or even a play corner. Off the kitchen, the cozy living room is anchored by a charming brick fireplace with gas logs — yes, we’re already picturing movie nights and slow weekend mornings. Down the hallway: three spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with its own full bath. The hall bathroom was fully renovated in 2019, so it’s crisp, clean, and ready for guests. But wait — there’s more. Head downstairs to your completely finished basement that could double as its own apartment. Here you’ll find: A private bedroom and full bath A kitchenette that opens up a world of possibilities (in-law suite, college kid crash pad, or dreamy Airbnb?) A flex room ideal for your home office, gym, or creative studio A massive walk-in closet for all the things And a sprawling great room with a second brick fireplace, where you can let your imagination run wild — movie den, game zone, art studio, homeschool HQ... the list goes on. Updated and upgraded so you can move right in without lifting a finger: New roof (2020) HVAC (2024) Trex composite deck (2020) New windows — upstairs (2020), downstairs (2024) Exterior paint + trim (2024) New front door (2024) Refinished hardwood floors (2020) Basement vinyl flooring (2020) And did we mention LOCATION? You’re inside Seneca city limits, which means city services, neighborhood convenience, and quick access to everything. Walk or ride your golf cart to shops, bakeries, and Jazz on the Alley nights downtown. Seneca Middle and High Schools are just minutes away. Lake Keowee is less than 10 minutes out your front door. Waterfalls, mountain trails, and stunning Blue Ridge views are practically your backyard. If you’ve been waiting for a home that balances nostalgia, comfort, space, and function with that I want to live here forever feeling — this is it. Homes like this one do not come around often. Don’t miss your shot at midcentury magic in the most perfect setting Seneca has to offer. Schedule your tour today before someone else starts living your dream.
