Victorian grandeur meets mountain charm in this historic Saluda gem overlooking the heart of downtown. Gracefully situated on more than half an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds just a short stroll from Main Street, this 1890's home offers a rare opportunity to own a serene retreat convenient to a vibrant small town. A hand-laid rock stairway leads to a welcoming front porch, inviting you to discover the well-crafted delights within. The interior living space exudes warmth and character with its uniquely coffered ceiling, original hardwood doors, wavy glass windows, custom built-in shelving, cozy fireplace, and a charming nook that overlooks the front porch, ideal for curling up with a book or enjoying the morning light. The custom kitchen has been beautifully updated, featuring new everything: flooring, stainless steel appliances, an artisan blue backsplash, butcher block countertops, and new cabinet and under-cabinet lighting, highlighting open shelving and thoughtful storage. The primary suite on the main level offers its own private fireplace with handcrafted wooden mantel and an en suite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms and a large bath with dressing area provide plentiful accommodations for family and friends, all of which is simply closed off with a door for easy one level living. Step outside to unwind on the covered front porch crafted with durable Ipe wood, adjoining gazebo, or back stone patio overlooking lush gardens of wildflowers, hydrangeas, and perennials. Additional features include unusually ample storage for a historic home, whole-house generator, carport, and brand new lofted shed. Blending history, thoughtful updates, and unmatched character, this well-kept, one-of-a-kind home is a true Saluda treasure.
