About this home
Gracing a commanding 1.28-acre spacious lot in the heart of Greenwood's historic district, 523 E Creswell Avenue is a stunning 1929 estate that captures the architectural grandeur of a bygone era. Spanning 3,610 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence reflects the timeless quality and high-end craftsmanship often attributed to the Hemphill architectural legacy that shaped much of the Lakelands. The interior is a masterclass in period design, anchored by a grand foyer that showcases a magnificent, sweeping staircase—a true focal point that serves as a testament to the home's historic prestige. Throughout the main level, the impressive 9ft+foot ceilings are accentuated by exquisite dentil crown molding and intricate chair rails featuring classical wave and reed motifs. The kitchen blends classic charm with modern utility, featuring durable granite countertops that flow into a cozy keeping room anchored by the organic texture of beautiful exposed brick, creating the perfect intimate nook for family gatherings. The main level is designed for both formal entertaining and daily comfort, offering grand living and dining spaces that flow naturally toward a serene screened-in porch, the perfect setting for quiet morning coffee or evening conversations. Outside, the property includes a detached garage equipped with electricity, providing a versatile space for a workshop, classic car storage, or a creative studio. This home is more than just a structure; it is a storied sanctuary that has been cherished and passed down through generations, standing as a silent witness to decades of family milestones. After nearly a century of being held in the same loving hands, the time has come for a new family to step into this legacy estate, breathe fresh life into its halls, and begin crafting their own lifetime of memories. The exterior grounds serve as a private, park-like sanctuary, dotted with mature hardwoods and expansive green space rarely found so close to the city center. It's premier location ensures you are only minutes away from the vibrant dining and boutique shopping of Uptown Greenwood, as well as Lander University and Self Regional Healthcare. As an added benefit for families, this address falls within the eligibility zone for the Greenwood Promise, offering a unique pathway to tuition-free college education for local graduates. Whether you are looking to preserve a piece of local history or seeking a sprawling family legacy property, this estate stands as one of the most significant opportunities in historic Greenwood.
