More About This House

Floors, walls, ceilings, ornate trim, exterior siding...all heart pine. The exterior siding is wrapped in aluminum which is surely one of the reasons it is so well preserved. This sturdy home has survived over 125 years! It is rare to find a home that has not been stripped of its original woodwork and windows, but she has waited patiently...waited...waited for the right person to come along and dress her up!

Downstairs you will find double doors with sidelights and windows above. There are 3 bay windows,, oversized French doors, all original mantles, soaring ceilings, gorgeous original hardware, solid wood columns and...that staircase...oh my, that staircase! The upstairs has the same high ceilings and huge window heights. Many of the windows feature the original wavy glass!

Prosperity, where this house has been a landmark for a century, is a charming small town located halfway between Charlotte, NC and Charleston, SC and minutes from Lake Murray and Columbia, SC. Google search the towns of Prosperity, Newberry and Chapin, SC to get a feel for just how special this region of the state is. The home is just 2 blocks from Prosperity's Town Square, so restaurants are within walking distance.

This National Register-eligible property is also eligible to be rezoned for any number of uses such as a retail shop, office or Bed & Breakfast.
