Overview

With spring in full bloom, Crescent Grove quietly unfolds as one of Greenvilles most private and enduring in-town estates. Tucked behind mature landscaping on one of Greenvilles most iconic streets, this nearly one-acre property offers one of the most peaceful and secluded settings youll find inside the city limits. As the grounds come to life each season, the setting feels especially vibrant this time of year, with natural privacy, blooming flowers, and the mature Grove for which its named framing the resort-style pool, all softened by light throughout the property. With over 8,000 square feet, beautifully maintained interiors, and rare walkability to Augusta Road, downtown Greenville, and nearby parks, this is an opportunity to enjoy both space and convenience in equal measure. The home has been thoughtfully updated over time, blending classic Southern architecture with timeless materials and ageless design. Think 200-year-old milled pine cabinetry from the Green River area near Asheville, heart pine floors, custom millwork, and warm natural light that shifts throughout the day. Everything feels inviting, layered, and built to last. At the center of the home is a welcoming, character-filled kitchen that flows easily into generous living and dining spaces, designed for both slow mornings and lively evenings. The main-level primary suite features a rare layout with dual bathrooms connected by a shared shower. Upstairs, a second primary suite offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, along with two additional bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath. The finished basement includes a wine cellar, billiards room, and an additional guest suite. With a two-car attached garage plus a two-car detached garage, there is covered parking for four vehicles, a true rarity in this location. The home is also equipped with an automatic whole-home generator for year-round peace of mind. Above the detached garage, a private guest suite offers ideal space for a home gym, au pair, in-laws, visitors, or a home office, along with extensive storage throughout. Out back, the property fully opens up. A flat grassy lawn is perfect for badminton, volleyball, or barefoot evenings as the landscape comes into bloom. The pool, hot tub, and water feature create a private outdoor setting that feels worlds away, even though youre just minutes from downtown. Homes like Crescent Grove rarely come to market with this level of privacy, scale, and location. As the season turns and everything around it begins to bloom, the home feels ready for whats next.
