National Register Property

208 Mcneary St, Prosperity, SC 29127

Never judge a house by the exterior. The Wyche-Derrick House (ca: 1890) is a glorious example of vernacular Queen Anne architecture and the birthplace of C Granville Wyche. It rests on over an acre of land. Floors, walls, ceilings, ornate trim, exterior siding...all heart pine. This sturdy home has been partially renovated on the inside. The outside remains pretty rough, but inside tells another tale. All new electrical and plumbing has been completed within the past 2 years. New 40-gal HWH. New SS appliances. Most of the windows have been rebuilt. And lots of gingerbread trim has been milled and is just waiting for someone to install it on the exterior. This house has good bones! Downstairs you will find double doors with sidelights and windows above. There are 3 bay windows, oversized French doors, all original mantles, soaring ceilings, gorgeous original hardware, solid wood columns and...that staircase...oh my, that staircase! The upstairs has the same high ceilings and huge window heights. Prosperity is a charming small town located halfway between Charlotte, NC and Charleston, SC and minutes from Lake Murray and Columbia, SC. Google search the towns of Prosperity, Newberry and Chapin, SC to get a feel for just how special this region of the state is. The home is just 2 blocks from Prosperity's Town Square, so restaurants are within walking distance. This National Register-eligible property is also eligible to be rezoned for any number of uses! SELLING AS-IS ONLY.
