Elegant Colonial, Heart of Downtown

Elegant Historic Colonial: The Heart of Downtown’s Pettigru Neighborhood

Discover historic elegance in the heart of downtown at this stately Colonial, curated by a local expert with 28 years of Greenville real estate heritage. Nestled in the prestigious Pettigru neighborhood, you are just a scenic stroll from the city's finest dining and boutique shopping. Enjoy a sophisticated stay surrounded by the vibrant oil paintings of renowned local artist Mimi Kline—a private gallery experience just steps from the vibrant city center."

Guest Spotlight:
"A Southern Living Stay! I felt like I stepped into the pages of a magazine during my weekend in the lovely Pettigru neighborhood. This house has absolutely everything you need, and the bedrooms are incredibly comfortable. I would move in for a month if I could!"

The Main Level: The experience begins in the spacious living room, anchored by plush leather furnishings and the warm glow of a remote-controlled gas fireplace. For gatherings, the formal dining room features a stately table with seating for 8 to 10—perfect for family reunions, bridal showers, or special celebrations. The sleek, modern kitchen is a chef’s delight, boasting granite countertops and backsplashes, top-tier appliances, and premium cookware. For guests preferring to avoid stairs, the main level includes a bright, sunny queen bedroom with easy access to a full bathroom.

The Second Level: Ascend the original historic staircase to find four additional oversized bedrooms designed for ultimate relaxation. Each features a Beauty-Rest mattress, fine linens, and a dedicated "getting ready" station with a private mirror, blow dryer, and ironing kit. Every room is equipped with a Smart TV featuring YouTube TV and streaming apps. The home features one full bath on the main level and one on the second level.

Outdoor Living: Step through the kitchen onto a spacious deck topped with a pergola, overlooking a lush backyard. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in the historic Pettigru neighborhood, you are just a short stroll from the Bon Secours Arena, downtown dining, the Greenville Zoo, and the iconic Liberty Bridge.

Parking & Logistics: The private driveway accommodates two vehicles, and three additional street passes are provided for your stay. Important: To avoid the City of Greenville’s $500 parking fine, please display these passes on your rearview mirror and remember to leave them inside upon departure to avoid a $200 replacement fee.

Beautiful historic home that is clean, charming and large enough for a group. I appreciated the 5 large bedrooms that were all similar size and similarly appointed. Low on closet space but ample dresser space. Wonderful deck area too. Kitchen was large and had the necessities. Loved the neutral tones with wonderful artful throughout. Also just a few minutes from the downtown area.

Great location for a great wedding weekend!

This was the perfect property for our large family to use as our home base for a wedding weekend. With the reception having been hosted just a block away at the Poinsett Club, we particularly loved that everyone in our party could walk home whenever they preferred. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable!
