Discover a rare historic offering in Aiken's cherished Winter Colony District. Once known as The Village Greenhouse, this enchanting in-town estate sits on .53 acres and feels like stepping into your own Secret Garden. Mature landscaping, quiet pathways, and multiple tucked-away homes create a private world just minutes from downtown Aiken and The Willcox. The 1927 main residence offers 3094 square feet of timeless Southern character. A large, welcoming front porch acts as its own outdoor living room, perfect for slow mornings or evenings with friends. Inside, a spacious foyer leads into a beautiful living room highlighted by one of Aiken's finest Hitchcock ceilings and tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout much of the main level. The home is filled with thoughtful architectural details including transom windows, French doors, and even a vintage butler call bell. The first floor also features a formal dining room, butler's pantry, kitchen, office, and a sunroom that draws in natural light. Hardwood floors run through most of the home, with additional hardwoods under the kitchen linoleum. All four bedrooms are located upstairs: two with private en-suite baths, and two connected by a Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms also enjoys its own sunroom. Laundry areas are available on both levels. A full basement sits beneath the main home. The guest house provides an additional 1215 square feet with one bedroom, one and a half baths, its own separate living space, and a full kitchen, laundry, and basement as well. The garage apartment includes three bedrooms and one bath and is ready for a full renovation, offering excellent potential for guest space, rental income, studio use, or multigenerational living. A separate detached workshop completes the property, ideal for gardening, hobbies, or storage. This historic estate blends character, charm, and opportunity in one unforgettable Aiken setting. Join us for an open house Sunday, November 23rd 2-4pm.
