About this home
Originally constructed around the 1840s, Let's Pretend is a gracious two-story residence—one of the earliest homes in the heart of Aiken's storied Winter Colony. Today, Let's Pretend remains one of Aiken's most beloved historic estates. Set on more than two acres in downtown Aiken, the home was updated in 2017—with new electrical, plumbing, and structural systems, as well as all-new windows, doors, roof, siding, and geothermal heating and cooling. Several portions of the residence remain partially unfinished, offering a rare opportunity for a new owner to complete the vision and restore the home to its full grandeur. A broad covered front porch opens to a salon-style living room with a fireplace, wired for sound and cinema projection. The formal dining room, with two fireplaces, tall windows, and refined moulding, evokes the scale and character of the era. An expansive family room, kitchen, and breakfast area fill the center of the home—bright and open, with coffered ceilings, shiplap detailing, custom cabinetry, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, blending period charm with modern sophistication. Among the home's most distinguished spaces is the wood-paneled library and den, featuring a bar, multiple fireplaces, and a wall of windows overlooking the pool and gardens. A circular staircase leads to an upper-level living area large enough for a billiards table workout/yoga/pilates or art studio, complete with a fireplace and natural light. The west wing includes a half bath, spacious laundry, and a luminous vestibule opening onto the pool terrace and gardens. At the far end, an unfinished primary suite wing awaits completion—revealing exposed brick, three fireplaces, and windows on every side. Plans envision three bedroom suites with a full bath above, honoring the home's history while allowing for modern luxury. Architectural plans are also available for a multi-car garage and guest house, designed to complement the estate's scale and symmetry. Throughout the home, Hitchcock and coved ceilings, original hardware, and detailed millwork remain as testaments to its craftsmanship. With its systems modernized and core structure renewed, Let's Pretend stands ready for the next chapter in its long and graceful life. Additionally Let's Pretend has the potential to be a horse property dependent upon city approval. Please see documents attached. A contributing landmark within the Aiken Winter Colony Historic District II, Let's Pretend embodies the enduring character of Aiken—where history, artistry, and equestrian heritage continue to shape its most extraordinary homes.
