Remarks: NEW ROOF INSTALLED MARCH 23-24 Close enough to wonderful downtown Greenville and Swamp Rabbit Trail access, but tucked away in historic, Sans Souci. Step back to a time of "no worries" as the name Sans Souci means, because the current owner has not just renovated this jewel, but restored and improved it while retaining original ambiance. You will notice the authentic Craftsman style curb appeal as you step onto the deep, front porch - plenty of room for relaxing in your favorite rocker. Most of the doors and windows reveal the original antique wavy glass. Step inside and you will notice original hardwood flooring throughout most of the home recently re-sanded and a satin finish (not shiny) applied - appropriate to the original time. Two fireplaces warm the home with the art-deco iron face plates. One in the living room is fitted with NEW custom fitted GAS LOGS, the second is in a bedroom fitted with original decorative solid screen. The master bedroom has a large dressing area and a HUGE closet. The master dressing 'corridor' leads to a NEW private master bath suite with stand up shower, tile floor, and plenty of natural light. The 2nd bath features an antique CLAW FOOT TUB and black & white tile floor. Transitioning from the bedroom area to the dining room and you will find a LARGE WALK-IN flex area: closet, storage, library, office? YOU decide! The dining room is flanked by a wall of windows and a wonderful gathering place for eating and fellowship! The kitchen retains original wood cabinets - some converted to open shelving. Refrigerator is recessed adding extra space to accommodate a breakfast table or extra work space. NEW, hand painted, Mexican tile back splash adds a pop of color and style well suited to this rustic, old world inspired kitchen. Walk thru the kitchen to the separate laundry area/ mud room with bead board walls, and open the antique door to reveal a walk-in pantry! Plenty of space for your canned goods and dry goods - added heated square footage and a pleasant back door to your BRAND NEW HUGE DECK! The back deck inside the fenced back yard makes entertaining family and friends easy. So much awesome to discover in this sweet Greenville home - did I mention the BRAND NEW HEATING AND AIR UNIT?! Enjoy coming home to your own little piece of history in the neighborhood of "no worries" - down the street from bustling foodie destination of Greenville, SC, around the corner from the outdoor Paris Mountain destination, up the road from Furman University, and minutes from up-and-coming Travelers Rest. Home is HERE! Welcome.
