Elegant Colonial, Heart of Downtown
Elegant Historic Colonial: The Heart of Downtown’s Pettigru Neighborhood
Discover historic elegance in the heart of downtown at this stately Colonial, curated by a local expert with 28 years of Greenville real estate heritage. Nestled in the prestigious Pettigru neighborhood, you are just a scenic stroll from the city's finest dining and boutique shopping. Enjoy a sophisticated stay surrounded by the vibrant oil paintings of renowned local artist Mimi Kline—a private gallery experience just steps from the vibrant city center."
Guest Spotlight: "A Southern Living Stay! I felt like I stepped into the pages of a magazine during my weekend in the lovely Pettigru neighborhood. This house has absolutely everything you need, and the bedrooms are incredibly comfortable. I would move in for a month if I could!"
The Main Level: The experience begins in the spacious living room, anchored by plush leather furnishings and the warm glow of a remote-controlled gas fireplace. For gatherings, the formal dining room features a stately table with seating for 8 to 10—perfect for family reunions, bridal showers, or special celebrations. The sleek, modern kitchen is a chef’s delight, boasting granite countertops and backsplashes, top-tier appliances, and premium cookware. For guests preferring to avoid stairs, the main level includes a bright, sunny queen bedroom with easy access to a full bathroom.
The Second Level: Ascend the original historic staircase to find four additional oversized bedrooms designed for ultimate relaxation. Each features a Beauty-Rest mattress, fine linens, and a dedicated "getting ready" station with a private mirror, blow dryer, and ironing kit. Every room is equipped with a Smart TV featuring YouTube TV and streaming apps. The home features one full bath on the main level and one on the second level.
Outdoor Living: Step through the kitchen onto a spacious deck topped with a pergola, overlooking a lush backyard. Situated on a quiet, tree-lined street in the historic Pettigru neighborhood, you are just a short stroll from the Bon Secours Arena, downtown dining, the Greenville Zoo, and the iconic Liberty Bridge.
Parking & Logistics: The private driveway accommodates two vehicles, and three additional street passes are provided for your stay.

Greetings, This beautiful historic home within walking distance of downtown rainbow was the perfect place to host a bridal shower for my daughter. The property is well suited to host several guests with easy access to restaurants and live entertainment close by. One of the main themes I heard from the other guest was how comfortable the beds were, I agreee! Thank you for a fabulous VRBO experience.

I cannot say enough, how absolutely wonderful this place was. I am very picky when it comes to cleanliness, and I had not one issue in the entire place. We were celebrating Christmas early and actually cried when I came in and saw a tree. I already had in my mind we wouldn’t have a tree, but there were decorations throughout. Michelle was great to answer my last minute questions. We had 10 adults and only two bathrooms, which was concerning, no issues whatsoever. The house had the original wood floors, doors and hardware, which were absolutely beautiful with updated kitchen and baths. It had everything we needed for our five day stay.

This is the place to stay for any visit to Greenville! We packed eight girls in this adorable house for our annual Holiday get together. The house and every bedroom were well appointed. A chef prepared dinner on Friday made full use of an excellent kitchen. The dining table is gorgeous and easily sat eight. Every room was beautifully decorated and had an extra layer for Christmas. Plenty of parking and it is a 15 minute walk to Main Street or an easy uber ride. We could not have asked for a better location for what was a fabulous weekend. Michelle, the host, was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond. Highly recommend to anyone coming to town!!

Beautiful historic home that is clean, charming and large enough for a group. I appreciated the 5 large bedrooms that were all similar size and similarly appointed. Low on closet space but ample dresser space. Wonderful deck area too. Kitchen was large and had the necessities. Loved the neutral tones with wonderful artful throughout. Also just a few minutes from the downtown area.

Three of my friends and I visited Greenville for a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home. It was very conveniently located near downtown, where we spent time exploring. The home was comfortable and extremely well appointed. Every bedroom had a hair dryer plus an iron and ironing board! The kitchen was nicely stocked as well. We loved our visit and this lovely home in a very quiet neighborhood helped to make it a great trip!

Great location for a great wedding weekend!
This was the perfect property for our large family to use as our home base for a wedding weekend. With the reception having been hosted just a block away at the Poinsett Club, we particularly loved that everyone in our party could walk home whenever they preferred. The house was lovely, clean and comfortable!

We stayed at this property for a few days to enjoy Greenville. We loved the walkability to downtown, access to good restaurants and the opportunity to spend time together in a way that is not possible in a hotel. We enjoyed visiting, playing games and catching up on the back deck. The property was well appointed and private. We would all choose it again in a heartbeat!
