9 Hermitage Rd, Greenville, SC 29615

Remarks

This show-stopping historic home and grounds were designed and built by renowned local architect Harold Townes for his own family’s own private residence, and has been featured twice in Southern Living Magazine. Nestled into a cul-de-sac and backing up to a large wooded conservation area, this home and the mature landscaping provide a sense that you are in a quiet countryside manor, yet the home is located only 3 miles from downtown Greenville, between East North Street and Wade Hampton Blvd.  Unassuming from the road, the home sprawls inside. The stunning kitchen features 11 foot ceilings, with exposed beams and barn wood. The home has so many custom details, it’s hard to take them all in, but don’t miss the handmade arched door to the pantry, a work of art in itself. Almost all of the home is on one level, with two separate master suites on opposite sides of the home. The bedroom closest to the kitchen has an en suite bathroom, a dressing area, beautiful wooden beams, which, together with the chandelier will make you feel like you are in a castle. The great room and dining room both have at their hearts stately wood-burning fireplaces and one-of-a-kind chandeliers. Tucked between them is the cozy living room/media room with yet another fireplace to enjoy on cool nights, a projection screen, and sliding glass doors that overlook the picturesque back yard and patio. The North wing of the home has two more secondary bedrooms which share a full bath and the master suite with its updated bathroom and six closets! You will love waking up every day with the sun rising on the back side of the home over the gorgeous landscaping. Downstairs, the walk-out basement has tons of storage and a half bathroom that could easily be expanded to add a shower so that this could be another full en-suite bathroom. There is also a huge storage room for your pool accessories under the South wing of the home, accessible only from outside. Recent improvements include new roof, new HVAC, conversion of the pool to saltwater, addition of hardwood floors in the master suite, new dishwasher and new refrigerator.
