Land with Home for Sale in Newberry, South Carolina

Imagine stepping over a threshold to a place where the world is instantly hushed and history whispers that you've crossed over into a more gracious era. This grand, antebellum Classical Revival residence has an unforgettable presence that does exactly that with equal parts elegance and authority. Behind its distinguished brick facade, time has been carefully held--warm, quiet, and beautifully intact--ready for the next steward who values beauty with a story.A monumental, full-height temple portico rises like a stage set for Southern living, framed by Doric columns and a pediment that crowns the home with unmistakable symmetry. Original six-over-six windows catch the light in perfect rhythm, while the house is filled with small, poetic details that tell you this was built to last and built to be admired.Inside, experience the balance and comfort of a truly classic plan: a long central hall, soaring ceilings, and rooms that feel generous without ever losing intimacy. Heart pine floors run underfoot with the soft patina only centuries can give. Original doors, interior shutters, plaster moldings, and eight fireplaces create a backdrop that makes every antique look like it was always meant to be here--silver, oil portraits, gilded mirrors, mahogany, linen, and lamplight. This is a home where collections don't simply fit--they truly belong.The story is as compelling as the architecture. Built in the early nineteenth century for Major Frederick Nance--an early South Carolina statesman--the house reflects the stature of a man who helped shape his generation. Moreover, architectural historians have noted that the home shares characteristics of other domestic designs by Robert Mills (America's first native-born architect, associated with the Washington Monument and major federal buildings). Because Major Nance was known to have had a direct connection to Mills through his work with the state public buildings committee, most scholars agree that there is compelling evidence that Mills had a hand in the home's design. For the discerning buyer who values provenance, scholarship, and significance, this just may be the one you. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, doe
