This remarkable American Foursquare residence is more than a home, it’s a piece of Palmetto’s history. Built in 1905 by former mayor Thomas P. Arnold and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this timeless property gracefully sits on 2.27 acres surrounded by mature trees, lush gardens, and the unmistakable charm of small-town Southern living. If you are an enthusiast of true-to-time period historic homes than this is the one for you. The quintessential southern rocking chair front porch invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Inside, you’re greeted by a grand foyer, wide and warm, that sets the tone of the beauty that will unfold in the rest of the home. The original hardwood floors that carry throughout, and an exquisitely preserved staircase with rich wood balusters that tell stories of generations past, original doors, stained-glass windows, and fine millwork capture the craftsmanship of another era, while thoughtful updates make the home beautifully livable today. Original pocket doors connect gracious main-level spaces, a formal living room lined with built-in bookshelves, and a dining room anchored by a built-in glass-front whiskey cabinet. Every room reveals a detail to admire: intricate wood trim, vintage lighting, and fireplaces that lend depth and personality. Off the kitchen, a charming built-in hutch in the butler’s pantry provides both function and character and a perfect spot for serving, display, or storage. The kitchen artfully blends period character with contemporary convenience, featuring painted cabinetry in a refined shade of green, granite countertops, brass accents, a 36” dual fuel range, a walk in pantry, an additional beverage cooler and space for casual dining. A full separate dining room is ideal for hosting gatherings, while the cozy breakfast nook in the kitchen overlooks the gardens for peaceful mornings. The flowing layout fosters easy connectivity between living spaces, yet each area maintains its unique appeal and identity. Enjoy a sunroom off the formal living room perfect for reading or reflection, and a screened-in back porch that invites you to enjoy outdoor living You can choose to make the bedroom downstairs the primary or upstairs, discover four spacious bedrooms and a hallway that feels woven into the home’s story. The additional primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, while the upstairs bath delights with its original clawfoot tub, vintage vanity, and even a fireplace, a rare blend of comfort and historic charm. Outdoors, the 2.27 acre property unfolds into wide lawns, garden beds, mature fruit trees, a storage shed, and two detached garages, providing both practicality and endless possibilities for creative projects or future expansion. Located just minutes from Serenbe, this home offers the best of both worlds, the tranquility of small-town living and immediate access to a vibrant destination for dining, arts, and nature. This home is an heirloom property, where preserved history and modern livability are perfectly balanced, ready for its next chapter.
