Step into a classic setting with a fascinating twist at 607 Third Street in Cheraw, South Carolina. Known locally as "Casa ao Contrário, " or "The Backward House, " this 2,494-square-foot residence blends historic charm with modern upgrades and distinctive design elements. Located on a 0.76-acre lot in the heart of Cheraw, this property offers the perfect combination of small-town warmth and proximity to regional hubs, with Charlotte, Columbia, Pinehurst, and Myrtle Beach all within a two-hour drive. Built in 1945, this home offers three spacious bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a thoughtfully designed layout that supports both entertaining and everyday living. The main level features a formal living and dining room adorned with brushed brass lighting fixtures, creating a warm, inviting ambiance for gatherings. The dining area is enhanced by original imported cabinetry that provides a sophisticated backdrop, perfectly complementing the commissioned artwork displayed throughout the home. The kitchen, painted in a cozy dried thyme hue, boasts stainless steel countertops, a breakfast nook with scenic Portuguese drapery, and a seamless blend of vintage character and modern function. Adjacent to the kitchen, a converted sun porch now serves as a versatile den for relaxing evenings. The knotty pine study offers a quiet retreat for reading, working, or creative pursuits. Original hardwood floors flow throughout, with ceramic tile in the bathrooms and luxury vinyl tile in select areas for durability and style. The home’s upstairs layout includes two generously sized bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, offering a private oasis for family or guests. Meanwhile, the main-floor primary suite ensures convenience and comfort with its attached bathroom. A walk-out attic and a utility basement add abundant storage options, while the two-car garage, complete with a half bath, enhances functionality.

Recent updates, including a durable metal roof and two new HVAC units installed in 2020, provide peace of mind while blending seamlessly into the home’s timeless aesthetic. The property’s location offers unparalleled convenience to Cheraw’s amenities. Downtown Cheraw is minutes away, where local dining, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions abound.
