Opportunities like this do not come around everyday. Here is your chance to own a piece of old Greenville history! This beautiful example of Willie Ward architecture is not only on THE most desirable street in Greenville; it's on the best block. Willie Ward is regarded as one of the greatest Southern architects and this home exemplifies why. Perched on a flat, over half acre lot designed by Dabney Peeples, the curb appeal is 2nd to none. As you pass by the strategically placed boxwoods on the way to the front door you know you're in for a treat. As you enter you are immediately struck by the charm! The large windows provide an abundance of natural light and the 10' tall ceilings give you a free flowing airy feeling. All the original character one would expect in a home of this caliber has been left intact over the past 100 years while the wiring and plumbing are to todays standards. Large living and dining spaces on the first floor offer incredible livability and a perfect ratio of separation to openness. As you move through the first floor, over the original oak hardwoods, you have to stop to appreciate how well the outdoor living spaces blend with the interior. The kitchen features 3 ovens, solid surface countertops and a TON of cabinetry. As you crest the top step to the 2nd floor you are struck by original heart of pine floors and 4 large bedrooms, each with an amazing amount of storage. The owners suite is HUGE and is 100% functional as it stands, but the large footprint offers an amazing platform to improve upon, if so desired. Another bedroom on the front of the home has a dedicated ensuite bath while the 3rd has an attached bath that services the 4th bedroom as well. The 3rd floor offers nothing but opportunity--currently used as a home office and recreation space--it lets in a surprising amount of natural light continuing the light, airy feeling from the 1st two floors. The backyard...next to IMPOSSIBLE to find in any in-town home, especially this close to famed downtown GVL. 314 Crescent Ave is TRULY something special that cannot be recreated today.
