This all-brick, Wales Garden home was built in 1948 and has been lovingly maintained, beautifully updated, and is in superior condition. Situated on a large corner lot less than three blocks from Five Points and six blocks from the main campus of the University of South Carolina, the location of this property is most convenient. Features of the house include the freshly painted brick exterior and trim in June 2025, beautiful hardwood flooring on both levels, extensive use of Roman shades, and a two-car garage. Outside, you'll find a very private, fenced backyard with a fabulous swimming pool equipped with both a heater and a chiller and framed by a considerable amount of decking. The pool and decking were added by the current owner in 2023. The first floor of the home has a formal living room with a fireplace and bookcases and is accessed from both the entry foyer and the dining room. There is also a door to the covered back porch overlooking the pool and backyard. The formal dining room is on the back of the house between the living room and kitchen. The very well-appointed kitchen has a tile floor and backsplash, bar, built-in desk, and is loaded with cabinets. The large laundry room with a sink is off the kitchen and has a door to the back yard. The first floor is completed by an office/ den with built-in cabinets and a closet (could be a bedroom). Just outside of this room is a half bath. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and two baths, including a huge master suite with a private bath. The suite runs the full length of the side of the house (28'!). The oversized two-car garage has more than 800 square feet and provides abundant storage and two automatic garage doors. It’s located on the Wheat Street side of the house, and the driveway and garage provide lots of off-street parking. The lot features a beautiful oak tree in the front yard, lots of mature landscaping, and very nice hardscaping. This property is a jewel!
