911 E Washington Street

Rare opportunity to restore this iconic 1919 Charleston-style home in the Pettigru Historic District in downtown Greenville. 911 E. Washington Street was renovated in the early 1990’s by one of Greenville’s most renowned caterers, Don Rizer, who used the property as both a home and a business.

The redesign of the home that you see today has an open floorplan that’s perfect for entertaining and features many beautiful exterior characteristics such as wrought iron railing, gates and old gardens, reminiscent of historic Charleston, SC. The main home features an inviting front porch with beautiful iron railing and detailed brickwork leading into a spacious foyer with trey ceilings and column details. The open floorplan allows for easy flow from the foyer into the spacious living room with fireplace and extensive millwork.

Adjacent to the living room is a music room and a formal dining room – perfect for hosting large dinner parties. Rounding out the main level is a cozy kitchen, half bath and bright and cheery sunroom. Upstairs you’ll find a master suite with full bathroom and 3 additional bedrooms that share a hall bathroom.

The main level and second level encompass over 2,900 square feet and feature tall ceilings throughout, site-finished hardwood floors, extensive millwork and a beautiful staircase. The lower basement level was used by the former owner as a work area and storage space. While it has HVAC and electrical, a basic bathroom and laundry hookups, this 880+ square feet wasn’t counted in the home’s total square footage since it’s not completely finished out like the main two levels.

Therefore, it can be considered bonus space by the new owner. But, the beauty of the main home continues in the backyard where you’ll find a spacious patio area that’s enclosed by a fence and beautiful iron gates, a brick water fountain, grassy side yard and front yard. The backyard also features a walkway to the carriage house which includes over 500 square feet of space including a living area/bedroom area/kitchen area and full bath – making it the perfect spot for an income producing space or separate office.

The carriage house and storage shed with electricity are easily accessible via the main house and also via an alley driveway in the back of the home. There is an additional parking pad here. This amazing property is zoned C-1 which offers many opportunities as either a residential property or commercial property.

Don’t miss your chance to own this one-of-a-kind property in downtown Greenville!
