1007 Elm St., Conway, SC 29526

On offer, a stately two-story brick colonial on one of downtown Conway's most prestigious streets. Nearly an acre of land with more than 3,700 heated square feet, this 6-bed 2.5 bath home with no HOA is the opportunity for which you've been waiting. On arriving, you'll notice the street-side magnificent Live Oaks draped in Spanish Moss, and the solid construction style of a century ago. The foyer and adjacent reception rooms feature historic chandeliers and 10' tongue-and-groove ceilings, wainscot, and built-in cabinetry that continue through the ground floor. Note the spacious sitting room with gas fireplace and formal dining room for entertaining guests. A front Carolina room with ample windows provides access to the side yard and an adjacent home-office grants separate keyed access. These, with French doors, offer layout for commercial opportunities. The master bedroom of palatial dimensions includes a light-filled space with billowing curtains, a working fireplace with historic mantel, and en-suite bathroom with garden tub. A second spacious ground-floor bedroom includes a traditional bathroom with original subway tiles and facilities. Also on the ground floor is a traditional kitchen with solid wood cabinetry, walk-in pantry, ample storage space, and stainless-steel appliances including a gas range with additional manifolds. Original features retained include built-in features like a wall-cupboard-sheltered ironing board and pull-out cutting boards. Large linen cupboard and coat closet. Off the kitchen a utility/ laundry room/limonaia with utility sink provides access to the back garden. Upstairs are 4 spacious bedrooms, 3 with cathedral ceilings, and a full bathroom. Off the back patio is a 2-lot deep garden with large lawn space, dozens of mature 15' camellias and azaleas, rose beds, and plenty of room for building a pool, pool-house, or a get-away escape. An original brick 1-car garage with storage and parking for 2, newly repaved, rounds out the property. This "Enchanted Camellia Forest," a birder's dream, is a rare, spacious property in the historic district not likely to be available again. A space for tranquility.
