Property Description
Welcome to the historic George Summer House, built in 1912. Nestled in the heart of Newberry, South Carolina—recently named one of America's 50 most charming small towns by the Travel Channel—this stately neo-classical home was once owned by George Summer, a prominent early 20th-century entrepreneur. His ventures included the Cotton Mill, the Newberry Hotel, the Lumber Company, and the Commercial Bank—foundations of Newberry's economic legacy.The current owners are seeking a passionate steward for this architectural gem, which features a grand Corinthian-columned portico, Juliet balcony, original hardwood floors, and exquisite woodwork throughout. Inside, enjoy a cozy library with built-ins and fireplace, a main-floor master suite, and three spacious upstairs bedrooms with two baths. A third-floor bonus room with half bath offers additional flexibility.The sunroom off the master is ideal for a den, art studio, or pet retreat, while the large basement invites creative use. Located just five minutes by foot from Newberry's historic square, enjoy shops, dining, a cigar bar, and the nationally renowned Newberry Opera House—an 1881 French Gothic landmark drawing over 100,000 visitors a year with more than 200 annual performances.This is more than a home—it's a piece of living history in a town full of culture, arts, and academic vitality. Please note: Sellers prefer occupancy no earlier than January 31, 2026—offering buyers ample time to plan their vision while securing a rare piece of South Carolina's heritage.Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
