334 Sumter Street, Aiken, SC 29801 MLS #621988

Discover a rare historic offering in Aiken’s cherished Winter Colony District. Once known as The Village Greenhouse, this enchanting in-town estate sits on .53 acres and feels like stepping into your own Secret Garden. Mature landscaping, quiet pathways, and multiple tucked-away homes create a private world just minutes from downtown Aiken and The Willcox. The 1927 main residence offers 3094 square feet of timeless Southern character. A large, welcoming front porch acts as its own outdoor living room, perfect for slow mornings or evenings with friends. Inside, a spacious foyer leads into a beautiful living room highlighted by one of Aiken’s finest Hitchcock ceilings and tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout much of the main level. The home is filled with thoughtful architectural details including transom windows, French doors, and even a vintage butler call bell. The first floor also features a formal dining room, butler’s pantry, kitchen, office, and a sunroom that draws in natural light. Hardwood floors run through most of the home, with additional hardwoods under the kitchen linoleum. All four bedrooms are located upstairs: two with private en-suite baths, and two connected by a Jack and Jill bath. One of those bedrooms also enjoys its own sunroom. Laundry areas are available on both levels. A full basement sits beneath the main home. The guest house provides an additional 1215 square feet with one bedroom, one and a half baths, its own separate living space, and a full kitchen, laundry, and basement as well. The garage apartment includes three bedrooms and one bath and is ready for a full renovation, offering excellent potential for guest space, rental income, studio use, or multigenerational living. A separate detached workshop completes the property, ideal for gardening, hobbies, or storage. This historic estate blends character, charm, and opportunity in one unforgettable Aiken setting.
