The home is a colonial with a front porch supported by 6 solid columns. The front entrance has a wide center hall with formal and informal parlors on each side. The dining room is on the back of the house and overlooks an open porch. The breakfast room is adjacent to the kitchen which at one time was detached from the house. The kitchen is spacious and has pine floors, a fireplace with gas logs,and granite counter tops. A utility room is next to the kitchen and a powder room is nearby. On the opposite side of the house is a downstairs BR and private BA with a claw foot tub. Behind the BR is a small sun room or sewing room overlooking a beautiful backyard.

The second story has a wide center hall opening to an upstairs front porch. There is a bedroom on each side of the hall. A large hall bath, with claw foot tub and large shower stall, is at the rear of the house.

The house has much character including tongue-in-groove walls & ceilings in some of the rooms, nice moldings, and fireplaces in every room except the breakfast room, which is an enclosed porch. The floors are mainly heart-pine with oak in the front center hall and pine in the kitchen. The ceilings are 11' downstairs and 10' upstairs.

The yard has been landscaped and has numerous azaleas planted among the many large oak trees and crepe myrtle trees bordering the driveway. An old rustic barn with electricity is used for a workshop and storage. Two other rustic structures, one with a half bath, were assembled from an old barn in North Carolina and are situated in the backyard.

This magnificent property is one of the few ante-bellum homes remaining in the lower part of South Carolina.
