210 Whitsett St, Greenville, South Carolina 29601 - For Sale

What one can say about the renaissance occurring in downtown Greenville is one word remarkable. It is hard to measure the speed at which this transformation is happening, but I can promise you one thing 210 Whitsett is a fantastic opportunity for the right buyer. You may be that buyer. If you have been wanting to get into the heart of downtown you ... now have a chance. Whitsett Street is zoned for commercial or residential use and it has both. There are many single entity sole owner businesses dwelling on this street. It also has some residential use. Those who reside on Whitsett after 5 PM say it is a great street to live on. One unique thing among many things about the property, is at the end of Whitsett where we are located, there is access by a flight of stone steps down to the entry to Cleveland Park. Cleveland Park is the beginning or ending of The Swamp Rabbit Trail, the 20 mile biking and walking trail that travels to Furman University. The park itself has tennis, baseball, picnicking and playground facilities, as well as the famous Greenville Zoo, home to Lions, Tigers and Monkeys, oh my. You are within walking distance to the BI-LO arena, or the heart of downtown Main Street, where it rocks practically every evening of the week. Fantastic boutiques, galleries, and four star restaurants are at your footsteps. Concerts, seasonal festivals, the Saturday Farmer s Market and a multitude of events will keep you and your family entertained. Ride your bike to the baseball stadium! The house itself, used both as office and as a residence, will need renovation. Originally constructed about the middle of World War II, some attempts at renovation have occurred. You can still see the original bungalow architectural lines. The lot itself has ample off street parking, and I find it interesting as it touches on the back of the property onto Pettigru Street. A pull through drive could be accomplished for additional parking as well. Some positive features, aside from its stupendous location and price, are the hardwood floors, the original glass windows, and the lot. The attic was finished off to add the two upstairs rooms and the bath at some point by a previous owner. There is a full bath on the main floor, and two rooms, could be either office or bedrooms. There is a delightful front porch. This house is owned by Fannie Mae. It is eligible for a Home Path Renovation Mortgage.
