402 Retreat Street

Description

This historic beauty is ready for new owners! 402 Retreat Street is celebrating her 105th birthday this year and is more ready than ever to take on the next 100 years. Boasting 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and so much charm, you'll love the floor plan and upgrades that have been done to this home. Take in the sights and sounds of small-town America from the front porch, with loads of rocking chair space and room for those sun loving plants. Inside you'll find the living room, with beautiful gas fireplace, big windows and high, smooth ceilings. Pass by the gorgeous craftsman style bookcases into what the family used as a music room. This could also make a great library or additional living room. Next is the sunroom, which has access to both the front porch and the den. The den is anchored by another fireplace and features a built-in gun cabinet and the coolest vintage wallpaper. As you exit the den, the dining room is just across the landing. From the dining room, you can pass by the butler's pantry and into the keeping room which adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen features access to the brand-new back deck as well as a laundry room. The owner's suite is on the main level and the counterspace in this bathroom can't be beat. A second full bath completes the downstairs. Up the beautifully crafted staircase you'll find the remaining bedrooms. The first bedroom on the left was formerly the sleeping porch on this home. It was later converted to a traditional bedroom with a large closet and tons of great windows. You'll pass the full bath on your way to the landing. The landing is a great place for a little library, playroom, or upstairs media space. The left guest bed has plenty of windows and beautiful fireplace. The right bedroom features a window seat as well as two closets, one might be large enough to add an ensuite bath (buyer to confirm). The front bedroom has incredible natural light, as well as another huge closet. Outside you'll find a circular drive that passes under the Porte-cochere and around the back of the house. From here you can park in the one car garage (or save it for your golf cart!) and have easy access from the back deck. The garage also features an antique outdoor cooking area, perhaps an ideal canning spot in the summers. A lean-to is off the back of the garage. The garden shed is a wonderful place to store your potting supplies. The level yard features lots of place to play, plant and find peace. Recent upgrades include new water heater (Dec 2024), new waste pipes (Jan 2025), new back deck (March 2025) and the sellers went the extra mile to have the foundation stabilized, the underside of the house was encapsulated, and had a new sump pump and dehumidifier installed. Located just two blocks from the heart of downtown Westminster, you're a quick walk or roll to great events like Music on Main, The Bigfoot Festival and The South Carolina Apple Festival.
