Traditional formal living and dining rooms flank the central hallway, showcasing classic Southern elegance with 10-inch baseboards, heavy moldings, and solid wood finishes. A warm and inviting den/family room features arched double doors reclaimed from a historic Greenville church and opens onto a screened-in porch that overlooks the serene, private backyard.

An elevated deck extends from the kitchen for seamless indoor-outdoor living.
