1705 Lindsey Cemetery Road

STUNNING ~ Just outside the quiet college town of Due West, SC sits a homestead built in 1881 and situated on just over 8.5 acres. This home has stood the test of time and has been polished to moody perfection. A commanding structure, this home features locally made bricks (including most of the interior walls), plenty of large windows, multiple fireplaces, hardwood floors, and a large foyer anchored by a spectacular staircase & double doors leading onto a welcoming front porch. With many of the original features still intact, this home is strength and comfort at the same time. Just off the foyer is a large primary suite with fireplace & mantle, fresh paint, hardwood floors, and an updated full bath (originally installed in the late 1940s) with a clawfoot tub, vanity, double door entry, and separate glassed-in shower. Past the primary bedroom through the foyer, there is a spacious screened-in porch with a sweeping view of the side yard. Back inside, pass under the stairs into an elegant dining room with built-in China cabinet, fireplace, & glistening chandelier ~ perfect for gathering friends and family. An open storage kitchen just off the dining room inspires culinary creativity and features ample natural lighting, a GE Cafe gas stove, butcher block countertops, farmhouse sink, floating shelves, and fireplace. From the kitchen, step into the well-appointed laundry/storage area that leads to a cozy covered entry way. Back inside and just off the dining room, there is a sunny seating spot leading to a tucked-away home office. Leaving the front side of the dining room leads into the den area with built-in cabinet, fireplace with mantel, and large windows overlooking the side and front yards. Climbing the stairs to the second floor, your hand glides up a smooth banister and you feel the rich history of this home. At the top of the stairs, you come to 3 more bedrooms that while spacious, seem to beckon you in with warm embrace. The main upstairs bath (originally added in the 1950s) is centrally located and has been updated but maintains the mood of the home. Deep colors, fireplaces, hardwood floors inspire nesting at its best. If all of that isn't enough, this property also includes the original smokehouse, a garden shed, a well house, a large barn, and a guest cottage/inlaw suite/multipurpose building. Currently used as additional living space, it features 1 bedroom with full bath; kitchen; living dining room combination; and a covered rocking chair porch.
