17 Arrington Avenue

This is a Fannie Mae Home Path property. Located in the historic mill village of Union Bleachery, on the street named after the mill’s founder, John Arrington this home offers a unique bit of history in the Upstate. Ellison Smyth, director of Union Bleachery and many other mills in the upstate as well as a textile giant in the region was instrumental in this mill’s success.

From the layout of the streets to the beautiful and original brick church which was integral to the community’s foundation, this is a beautiful village. To make it even more appealing, the back access is only two blocks to the Swamp Rabbit Trail access off of W. Blue Ridge Drive.

As we all know this area is “booming” and this village is a “Sleeper”. This is a two bedroom bungalow in it’s original condition. Basically there are 4 large rooms, a kitchen and the add on of the bathroom at the back of the property.

The lot is level and large but only partially fenced. There is alley access and at the front of the house there is curbside parking. No mechanicals are intact and there are no appliances.

Consider though the potential of a renovation. First time buyers should consider a renovation mortgage where your improvements are financed into the loan. This is a fantastic way to borrow the money for your renovations and have a very affordable property when you are done.

Many homes in the village are undergoing renovations and there is very little turnover in this location. Special first time buyer incentives may be available. If you are looking for a little bit of history, close access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and easy access to downtown Greenville then you don’t want to miss this one.

Hurry! Prices are only going up.
