DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE'S MOST COVETED "NORTH MAIN AREA"!!! Bikers, runners or walkers will appreciate the beautiful area as they head downtown for lunch or dinner, or a quick drive can take one from the lovely residential area to the charming commercial area of Greenville now enjoyed by the Upstate. Also, walk to the much-sought-after Stone Elementary School. (Many folks move to the area for the schools including League Middle School.) This magnificent historical home (nearly 100 years old) exudes charm from the inside out (pictures cannot capture this properly). Current owner purchased from original family & took the home down to the bare bones before restoring this home of yesteryear, leaving the charm of days gone by while offering the comfort & conveniences of today's world. Original renovation was done in 1994/95, with a subsequent addition in 2009. The home was built on a large double lot (plenty of room to add a garage) & with the addition of the backyard fencing, the custom wrought iron (securing driveway) & the wrought iron garden gate to the courtyard, privacy & unparalleled beauty are afforded in this setting. The courtyard is complete with an in-ground Koi pond & fountain plus speakers. The walkway and the circular motif of the pergola were created using bricks salvaged from the burned ruins of the historical Poe Mill. Added to this intriguing backyard, the irrigation system and all-new lush landscaping allow the residents to be in a beautiful world of their own in this outdoor oasis. A screened porch was transformed into a lovely Sunroom on the right side of home, for enjoyment of this backyard scenery 365 days/year. Above on 2nd floor a lovely rooftop terrace was created with wrought iron enclosure & water added for the plants, plus a door from inside to take advantage of this lovely area for sunning or maybe just for enjoying a glass of tea while enjoying a birds-eye street view. While the interior architectural details are beautiful & too numerous to mention, we must not forget the 10"-wide baseboards, & two beautiful gas-log fireplaces, one with marble surround & one with antique mantel. Unique to the living room is the distinctive handcrafted crown molding. The same artisanship is carried through to dining room with the tiered-ceiling medallion. All rooms throughout the home (except laundry room) have original doors with beveled glass/brass door knobs. If additional living space is needed, expansion in the stand-up attic is possible, ideally suited for a media room or bonus room, with the addition of dormers. The basement is accessed by interior door and is unfinished, but provides excellent storage & excellent access to electrical, plumbing, hot water heater & HVAC. All of the interior work and updates were done with quality workmanship & style to enhance this historical home, and must be seen to appreciate. The bungalow and lot to the left at 221 W. Mountainview can be purchased with this home as a package-please see MLS#1273440. (Additional information & history of home & work done are included in brochure in home or under "additional docs" for realtors.) The QUALITY, CLASS & CHARM that exudes throughout this home cannot be properly described with verbiage or pictures, but all INTERESTED QUALIFIED buyers are welcome to set an appointment for viewing. Square footage and measurements approximate.
