Property Description
Now repositioned with incredible value at $4,999,601, Crescent Grove is one of Greenville's most unique in-town properties. Set on nearly an acre on iconic Crescent Avenue, this private estate offers over 8,000 square feet, a pool, guest quarters, four garage bays, and a walkable location just minutes from Augusta Road and downtown. Quiet and understated, this home unfolds as you walk in without being ostentatious or overwhelming from the street. The backyard is designed for enjoying Greenville's long outdoor season, with a pool, hot tub, water feature, and a large flat lawn with plenty of room to play, entertain, or simply relax. Inside, the home combines timeless design with thoughtful updates. Heart pine floors, custom millwork, and hand-milled 200-year-old pine cabinetry from the Green River region near Asheville give the home a warmth and character that's difficult to replicate today. Large windows fill the home with natural light, and the layout offers multiple spaces for gathering with family and friends. The main-level primary suite features dual bathrooms connected by a shared shower. Upstairs, a second primary suite provides flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, along with two additional bedrooms, each with its own private bath. The finished basement includes a wine cellar, billiards room, and guest suite. Above the detached two-car garage, a separate guest apartment offers exceptional flexibility for extended family, long-term guests, an au pair, a private home office, fitness studio, or multi-generational living. Combined with the attached two-car garage, the property offers covered parking for four vehicles, a rare feature in this location. A whole-home generator provides peace of mind, and extensive storage can be found throughout the property. Properties with this combination of privacy, space, outdoor living, and location rarely come available within Greenville's city limits. Crescent Grove offers estate-style living while remaining close to Augusta Road, downtown Greenville, parks, schools, and everything that makes this area so desirable. Shown by private appointment only. Preapproval or proof of funds required prior to confirmation. Listing agent present for all showings. Minimum 48-hour notice required.
