Some homes simply have a presence, and 225 W. Faris Road is one of the few. With original character, beautifully executed renovations, expanded living spaces and a detached "Magnolia cottage", this Augusta Road area property feels both impressive and inviting from the start. Original pine flooring brings warmth and character to much of the main level, while large windows fill the living spaces with natural light. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a large butcher block island with prep sink, beautiful countertops, inset cabinetry, panel-ready refrigerator and freezer, wine refrigerator, gas range and oversized windows that create a stunning setting for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a keeping area or breakfast space with fireplace adds another inviting place to gather, while the scullery provides a sink, additional cabinetry and excellent prep space. The main-level primary suite feels like a private retreat with tray ceiling, accent windows, built-in cabinetry, soaking tub, double sinks, tiled shower and a large walk-in closet. Upstairs, the second level includes three generously sized bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom featuring updated vanities, countertops and tiled tub/shower combinations. A central flex room works well as a playroom, office or lounge, while an additional workstation or crafting area adds everyday function. The recently finished third level creates even more space for a bunk room, playroom, gaming area or additional flex room. Outdoor living is a major highlight. The screened porch is large enough for dining and relaxing, complete with an outdoor fireplace and gas heaters for year-round enjoyment. The lower-level wine cellar adds another memorable space for entertaining. The detached "Magnolia cottage" is an incredible addition, complete with a one-car garage, two-car carport, full kitchen, full bathroom, den with vaulted ceiling, bedroom and laundry. Whether used for guests, extended family, a private office or potential rental income, this separate living area gives the property remarkable flexibility. Additional highlights include a whole-home generator that will convey. Convenient to hospital systems, Augusta Street shopping and dining and downtown Greenville, 225 W. Faris Road blends original character, elevated renovation and everyday comfort in one exceptional property. This home has additional opportunity for an even larger yard or investment down the road- if desired, there is an adjacent, separate 0.33acre parcel that could be purchased (Tax ID# 0215.00-10-001.00).
Augusta Street Area, located between Downtown Greenville and the Augusta Road corridor, is a residential and retail Greenville neighborhood with a walkable main street and leafy side roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Augusta Street at Faris Road, where sidewalk patios, local boutiques, and coffee counters keep the blocks active. Community pillars include The Anchorage, Augusta Grill, and Methodical Coffee’s Augusta Street outpost. Brick cottages and mid-century ranch homes sit alongside newer infill, giving the streetscape a layered, lived-in look. A short roll away, Cleveland Park and the Swamp Rabbit Trail add green space and a steady stream of cyclists. The pace feels polished but casual, with errands and dinner often staying on foot.

Stunning doesn't begin to describe this fully renovated 1924 home minutes from downtown and walkable to Augusta Circle Elementary. Still an old Southern Farmhouse at its core, the 18-month renovation boasts a wide centerline hallway running its length with central dining and living areas. The large gourmet kitchen, featuring Wolf & Sub-Zero appliances, houses a custom solid maple island perfect for gathering with family & friends. The renovation includes a beautiful paneled primary foyer off Argonne Avenue, where the house really lives. The luxurious master bedroom on the main level is privately located at the back of the house with 3 additional bedrooms on the second level easily accessed by a secondary staircase. New insulated windows along with foam wall insulation maintain a quiet and peaceful interior atmosphere. The home was completely rebuilt while maintaining many of the original hardwoods and unique interior features, thus keeping the charm of the original home along with the peace of mind that comes with new construction. The charming carriage house is attached to a one car garage and is perfect for guests, family recreation, separate office, music studio, artist studio…the options are limitless! The home sits deep on a deep and wooded corner lot where the adjacent parcel of land was purchased prior to the renovation thus creating spacious outdoor living area, which provides valued privacy as well as the option of a pool.
