Property Description

There are some homes that simply stand out, and this Charleston style home on Main Street in Abbeville is certainly one of them. With over 5,000 square feet, 7 bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and porches spanning both levels, this property offers an incredible amount of space and versatility. And while it may look like a historic, Southern home from the 1800s, it was actually built in 2008, giving you the character and charm of an older home, but with the conveniences of newer construction. From the moment you arrive, the full covered front porch, large columns, and second story balcony, set the tone for the home. Step through the front door into the spacious foyer, with the formal dining room to the left, and the formal living room to the right. In the dining room is a traditional, butler's door that leads into the pantry, with custom cabinetry, and continues directly into the kitchen, creating the perfect setup for serving and hosting guests. From the dining room, continue through the main hallway, past the half bath, and you'll enter what is considered the owner's quarters, as the property operates as a functioning bed and breakfast. This part of the house feels like a home of its own, beginning with a full kitchen featuring locally built, custom cabinetry, plenty of counter space, and an abundance of natural light. The kitchen is open concept and continues right into the living and dining area, with doors leading directly onto the covered, back porch. The primary suite is also located on the main level and offers the space you would expect in a home of this size, with high ceilings and a large, adjoining bathroom. The primary bath features two vanities, two walk-in closets, a tiled shower, separate tub, and direct access to the laundry room, making the entire space incredibly functional. Upstairs, the amount of space continues. At the top of the stairs is a kitchenette area and a second laundry room. Down the hall, you'll find spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, as well as hallway access to the second story front porch. Altogether, the upper level provides 6 additional bedrooms, and 5 full bathrooms. Toward the back of the second floor is a separate apartment or in-law suite, adding even more flexibility to the property. This space includes another full kitchen with an open concept living room area, and the final 2 bedrooms and bathroom. It also has private access to the second-level back porch overlooking the backyard, with stairs leading down to the courtyard and fire pit area. On the ground level, you'll find two garage spaces, along with a large storage room. Whether you need a workout space, workshop, additional hangout area, or simply extra storage, there is plenty of space to make it work for your needs. As previously mentioned, one of the things that makes this property so unique is the combination of old and new. From the tall ceilings and fireplaces, to the grand porches, columns, and Charleston inspired architecture, the home has the character of a much older property. However, because it was built in 2008, you get that look without taking on a home that is more than a century old. Located directly on Main Street in Abbeville, and within walking distance of the historic town square, the possibilities here are hard to overlook! Continue operating it as a bed and breakfast, explore its potential as a short-term rental, use the separate suite for extended family, or simply enjoy having more than enough room for a large family and plenty of guests. If you've been looking for a property with character, space, and options you simply don't find in most homes, this one is worth seeing in person.
