104 College St, Bethune, SC 29009

Beautiful home on corner lot with large oak trees. Home has been totally updated giving you the charm of years gone by with all the modern conveniences. Kitchen has hand built cabinets with Indian granite tops. All are lighted below and above. There is an original porcelain cast farmhouse sink, from the early 1900's, overlooking side yard. A large island with seating for four, rests upon a specially designed brick paver floor. Adjoining the kitchen is the dining room with a turn of century built in China cabinet and fireplace with original mantel. There is a double French door leading to a screened porch out of the dining room for a relaxing nap or go down a couple of steps out the porch to the patio for your grilling pleasure. Directly though the double doors at the other end of the dining room is the living room. This room features 11 ft ceilings, and a large arched window viewing the street in front of the house. There is also a live fireplace and entertainment area. Each of these three rooms have a French door leading into the central hall. As you walk up the front steps you end up on the eight ft wrap around porch. Reminding you of the days gone by as you sit under the fan or relax on the porch swing. As you open the front door to step into the foyer you will notice the grand archway, as the antique chandelier dances its twinkling light. To the right of the foyer is a large bedroom with fireplace and mantel. It also has a wooden tongue and groove beadboard ceiling, as does the majority of the main level rooms. Most of the original heartwood pine flooring still remains throughout the house. As you walk down the hall, on your right, is the master bedroom. This 15X23 ft room has plenty of room for king size furniture as well as seating area for private tv viewing or quiet library. It also has a fireplace and extra closet. Through the door on the other side of the room is a master bath and walk in closet. The master shower stall has two shower heads and a separate large jacuzzi tub. It also has an antique dresser, converted to a vanity with his and her private sink bowls and plenty of drawer space. There is a private privy within this room. The floors are made of ceramic tile with special inlay designed. At the end of the hall is the guest bath. This bath is designed to show a classic soaker tub (original early 1900's stamp) with all the early century plumbing. It has pinwheel type subway tile and an antique cabinet vanity. As you walk the 21 steps upstairs there are two bedrooms joined by a Jack and Jill half bath. The other side of the hall has one single room that can be either a 5th bedroom or an extra room of your choosing. Currently it is used as my wife's sewing and monograming room. Each room upstairs also has a fireplace amenity. All fireplaces except the living room fireplace are none active and have been sealed to conserve energy. At each end of the upstairs hall is a large dormer area for those plants you never have a place for in the wintertime but don't want to throw out. There is a three bay carriage house on the side of the property. It is insulated and fully wired with addition finished space above the main floor. There is approximately 1200 sq ft of usable area available. Bethune is a quiet little community located approximately 60 minutes away from Columbia SC or Charlotte NC. A perfect place for someone who wants the slower pace of living, but yet not be to far away from the city for all their amenities.
