Step back in time and seize the opportunity to own a true piece of Oconee County history. Originally built in 1893 by Captain William Ashmead Courtenay as one of the original homes for the Newry Mill Village, this 1,900+ square foot former duplex is filled with historic character and endless potential. Already taken down to the studs in many areas, much of the uncertainty that comes with restoring a historic home has been eliminated, providing the perfect blank slate for your vision. Original features remain throughout, including four fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors and trim, and two original staircase locations, allowing flexibility to create a spacious three- or four-bedroom, two-bath home. Tucked away on the edge of the village and backing to the wooded area, the property offers a level of privacy rarely found in the community. Renovation plans are available for interested buyers, making this an exceptional opportunity for a contractor, investor, flipper, handyman, or anyone with a passion for restoring historic homes. The tall crawl space provides easy access for mechanical work, further simplifying the renovation process. Inspections are welcome, though the seller prefers to sell the property as-is. If you've been searching for a unique restoration project with incredible history and limitless potential in one of the Upstate's fastest-growing areas, this is one you won't want to miss. Located close to Lake Keowee, downtown Seneca, Clemson University and so much more. This is a must see!
