Circa 1918, 2 East Prentiss is a unique American Arts and Crafts home with classical overtones; Palladian in its massing with similarities to the architecture of Charles A Platt. Several public rooms feature tall coffered ceilings. The home is perched on a small hill with a western exposure allowing for panoramic sunsets from all windows as well as from the expansive front terrace. Grand but simple, the home has a choice of 3 public entries and two very private entries. The East Prentiss entry offers an enfilade of rooms terminating in a large fireplace that looks through to the library with French doors that open onto one of the numerous courtyards. Within one of the library walls lies existing openings for two additional windows envisioned in the design for the library. The structure has been completely re-clad in historically scaled hardy plank featuring elegant half round gutters. There are 4 bedrooms with the potential to create either a fifth bedroom downstairs as a master suite or to create an upstairs master bedroom or guest suite by incorporating the charming light filled sleeping porch. There are suggestions in place to create 3 additional baths implementing ones personalized aesthetic. A very spacious kitchen offers endless potential opening onto a large family room as well as a hidden outdoor entertaining space. The rear landscaping has an intricate drainage system with elegant retaining walls leading to several sunken courtyards. The garden abounds with rare specimen maples illuminated by landscape lighting. The home is perfect for someone who desires a town villa with minimal grounds. East Prentiss is a charming cul de sac adjacent to elegant and serene Crescent Avenue. Also, walkable to downtown Greenville and its internationally acclaimed park systems. A hardware store, grocery store, dry cleaner and notable restaurants are among the many offerings within a short walking distance. City life conveniences with the aura of an exclusive town villa. A rare combination.
