310 Cherokee Rd, Florence, SC 29501

City and country all in one! Seldom does a stately southern home off Cherokee Rd. in the heart of Florence come on the market. It’s a location that can’t be rivaled – This home feels like an idyllic country home, yet it’s in the city. The house is known simply as Thrushwood, named by the first owners and after the wood thrush songbirds that fill the surrounding deciduous forest. The home has 5 bedrooms 4.5 bathrooms, 7 fireplaces and contains approximately 7,000 square feet. Thrushwood sits on a private mature and heavily wooded 4-acre lot with 2-private driveways and is also directly connected to one of Florence’s most desired, well-kept and established neighborhoods. Extensive renovations and additions were thoughtfully undertaken by the current owners, resulting in a home with enduring style as well as functionality with modern amenities and a practical floorplan. The owners have managed to balance historic and up-to-the-minute design elements making this a truly NEW old home. The home includes the following amenities: First is the Southern, grand 2-story front porch that was added in 2021. It includes massive 2’ in diameter x16’ tall Tuscan columns, recessed lighting, ceiling fans and an impressive 2-story foyer with new large windows and antique beveled glass door with original hardware. In addition, the rear of the home opens up to tiered piazzas with antique 18th century English brick floors, screened side porch with fireplace, heated saltwater pool with covered outdoor kitchen, and a brick carriage house with guest house, work room and pool house. Off the foyer is formal dining room being used as a library with original fireplace and wainscoting- it can easily be converted into a formal dining room for any dinner party. Adjacent to the library is the formal front parlor with wood burning fireplace that connects to a wine and wet bar room with access to the outdoor kitchen space. The most beautiful of all the changes occurred in the kitchen.
