112 Strathmore Dr, Greer, SC 29650

Remarks: One of the most gorgeous acreage lots on the Eastside! Surround yourself with the history of “Old Greenville” in this magnificent home, which was designed by local architect Charles Gentry, under the guidance of the sellers. Much of the home’s impressive interior detail is original to the Hughes Plantation, which was constructed in 1882. When the plantation home was torn down in the 1970’s, the sellers purchased the exquisite moldings, doors, window and door frames, hardware and the incredible staircase with hand carved balusters and newel posts that is the centerpiece of the Entrance Hall. All of the woodwork has been painstakingly restored to its original luster. At over 6,200 square feet, this home offers wonderful space for every aspect of your life, from grand entertaining in the detailed Living and Dining Rooms to comfortable relaxation in the open Family Room and huge Bonus Room which has a Kitchenette and a woodstove. There’s also an office with built-ins for those “work from home” days. Three fireplaces add to the home’s inviting warmth: the Living Room and Kitchen fireplaces have gas logs, and the Family Room fireplace is wood-burning. The Kitchen has an “old world” ambiance that combines beautifully with modern convenience. Double ovens (one convection), microwave and Thermador cooktop are tucked into arched alcoves of handmade brick. The floors are wide pegged hardwood. The Master Suite is located on the main level and features a personal sitting area, bookcases and “his & her” baths with multiple closets. Four additional bedrooms are upstairs and each has private bath access. Storage abounds, with spacious closets scattered throughout the home and two large walk-up attics. The 3.6 acre lot is landscaped with roses, azaleas and hydrangeas, an English county garden, mature perennials and old-growth trees for beauty and privacy. It’s all supported by a front & rear sprinkler system. You can relax with friends on the “rocking chair” front porch, or set up tables on the enormous rear patio for a fun-filled cookout. The light-filled sun room has plexiglass windows that can be removed to transform it into a screened porch during the cool spring months. A charming potting shed includes a rear garage-style entrance for mowers or yard carts. Special features abound, including central vacuum and security systems, a galley-style butler’s pantry with two walls of glass front cabinetry and a wet-bar, a rear “mud room” entrance, large Laundry Room with utility sink, custom artwork on Powder Room walls, rear entry garage plus two extra two-car parking pads and a circular drive… just to name a few.
