Built in 1855 and once home to prominent Furman professor Charles H. Judson, this extraordinary home stands as a rare surviving example of Greenville's early architectural heritage. Delicate Victorian gingerbread trim, a charming wraparound front porch, soaring ceilings exceeding ten feet in height, hardwood floors, antique hardware, and generations of carefully preserved craftsmanship create an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated. Located less than half a mile from Sirrine Stadium and approximately 1.5 miles from One Main Plaza, the property creates a remarkable contrast: the character and quiet permanence of a bygone era paired with access to Greenville's restaurants, galleries, parks, and attractions. Few homes allow you to spend the morning beneath the shade of a grand magnolia tree and the evening strolling downtown for dinner. Inside, history reveals itself in every room, from the intricate trim work to the hardware and substantial moldings. The formal living room and dining room provide elegant gathering spaces, complemented by a comfortable den, bright breakfast room/sunroom, and a kitchen thoughtfully equipped with stainless steel appliances, pantry storage, and an adjoining cellar-style utility room. The main-level primary suite blends character with modern convenience, featuring a walk-in closet, double-sink vanity, walk-in tiled shower, nearby laundry room, and an adjoining flex space equally suited for a private sitting room, library, studio, or home office. A powder room and grand foyer complete the main floor. The upper level is divided into two sections, the first of which includes two bedrooms and a full bathroom above the kitchen, making it an ideal wing for guests or working from home. From the foyer, you will find the stunning wooden staircase which leads to the formal wing of the second floor. The most captivating space upstairs is what is known as the chapel room. This is truly memorable retreat, featuring private balcony access and an ambiance that feels lifted from another era. Whether envisioned as a reading room, music room, creative space, or personal sanctuary, it is a room that leaves a lasting impression. An upstairs bathroom featuring an antique sink vanity serves as yet another reminder that homes like this are increasingly rare. The two additional upstairs bedrooms are nicely sized and beautifully appointed, with architectural details that are sure to compliment your favorite decor. Outside, you will find the fully fenced back yard which includes and electric gate and the detached two-car garage and workshop. The garage was designed in a matching Gothic Revival style, thoughtfully complementing the main residence. Mature landscaping frames the property, while the magnificent front-yard magnolia stands as a living witness to years of Greenville's history. Some homes are measured in square footage, but Judson Cottage is distinguished by provenance. This is more than a residence; it is a piece of the city's living history, waiting for its next steward to become part of the story. Schedule your showing today.
