True Gem in the heart of the Historic Rock Hill neighborhood. Walk to the Nelson Gallery, Plaza and Parks. This home is timeless- the stone covered porch, the solid wood door and bead board. Beautiful original hardwoods throughout with brick fireplace and custom built-ins. The Great room has tons of characters. The dining room also adorned with a fireplace and oversized windows. The kitchen has a breakfast nook, granite countertops, stainless appliances and built-in pantry. The Master suite has a walk-in closet, and fireplace. Off the master is a sunroom/office/nursery. The newly updated master bath has tile floors, double vanity, built-in storage, and walk in marble shower. The yard features a biodiverse lawn. It has been cultivated with an appreciation of organic gardening, drought resistant and native plant principles. It has been enriched with organic material: no chemical or other environmentally detrimental products have been applied. Starting in the early spring, with the appearance of crocuses, hyacinths and the tulip magnolia, then tulips, wisteria and lilacs, the yard displays a succession of flowering perennials, trees, and bushes. Ground covers of mint, ajuga, sedum, Russian sage, creeping thyme, hyssop, vinca minor, liriope, succulents spread effortlessly. Lily of the valley, lilacs, irises, day lilies, specialty lilies, and other beauties show their spring and beauty. Later, Naked Ladies/ Amaryllis Belladonna put on a show. Wild ginger, blackberries, columbine, and other natives peak through. In late summer, you may pick figs from the tree in the front yard! In the fall, the burning bushes complement the autumn leaves. The Helleborus/ Lenten rose blooms in the winter, and the ghost of the ornamental grasses and hydrangea provide structure to the snowy yard. It is a gardener's treasure. Other treasures await discovery. The enriched soil can easily be converted to a more traditional monoculture yard or any other kind of bed desired.
