Welcome to the historic George Summer House, built in 1912. Nestled in the heart of Newberry, South Carolina-recently named one of America's 50 most charming small towns by the Travel Channel-this stately neo-classical home was once owned by George Summer, a prominent early 20th-century entrepreneur. His ventures included the Cotton Mill, the Newberry Hotel, the Lumber Company, and the Commercial Bank-foundations of Newberry's economic legacy.The current owners are seeking a passionate steward for this architectural gem, which features a grand Corinthian-columned portico, Juliet balcony, original hardwood floors, and exquisite woodwork throughout. Inside, enjoy a cozy library with built-ins and fireplace, a main-floor master suite, and three spacious upstairs bedrooms with two baths. A third-floor bonus room with half bath offers additional flexibility.The sunroom off the master is ideal for a den, art studio, or pet retreat, while the large basement invites creative use. Located just five minutes by foot from Newberry's historic square, enjoy shops, dining, a cigar bar, and the nationally renowned Newberry Opera House-an 1881 French Gothic landmark drawing over 100,000 visitors a year with more than 200 annual performances.This is more than a home-it's a piece of living history in a town full of culture, arts, and academic vitality. Please note: Sellers prefer occupancy no earlier than January 31, 2026-offering buyers ample time to plan their vision while securing a rare piece of South Carolina's heritage.Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
