Property Description
Introducing the historic John T. Stevens House, Circa 1918. This distinguished 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, brick Colonial Revival, is located in the heart of Historic Kershaw, SC. Nestled on more than an acre, with an in-ground pool, detached garage and magnificent gardens. The house was originally built for prominent businessman John T. Stevens, but is also referred to as the 'Dr. Blackwell House', who has been the owner since the early 1970's. Most of the signature design elements remain intact, including leaded glass features, elaborate plaster moldings, quarter-sawn oak floors with teakwood borders, a fireplace in almost every room, grand tuscan columns and porte-cochere. There is even the original central vacuum system installed in the early 1920's! Inside, the main level showcases a grand foyer and sweeping staircase crowned by a crystal chandelier. Formal entertaining spaces include double parlors on each side of the entry, a large dining room, a cozy sitting room located just off the kitchen, and sunroom. The large eat-in kitchen has today's modern conveniences including Thermador appliances, gas cooktop and double ovens, and separate pantry. The primary suite is on the main floor and includes the main sleeping room plus a 2nd bedroom room that is connected by a dressing room and bath in between. This room could serve as a nursery, office, or even a 6th bedroom. The split staircase leads to 4 generously sized bedrooms, each with a shared jack-and-jill style bath. Several of the rooms have access to the the upper outdoor balconies overlooking the land. The gardens, originally designed by a New York landscape firm responsible for several notable Charlotte estates, feature arbors heavy with muscadines, native plantings, and pathways that reflect the estate's longstanding beauty. A pool, positioned within the footprint of the original formal gardens, remains on the property and offers an opportunity to be refinished. (Currently empty and needs a new liner and inspection.). With its rich provenance, preserved architectural details, and timeless gardens, the John T. Stevens House stands as one of Kershaw's most important and cherished historic residences. Di
