1885 Greek Revival in Camden SC Historic District

In the heart of Camden’s historic district, this extraordinary 1885 Greek Revival residence is a rare opportunity to own a home rich in heritage yet suited for modern living. As you step inside, historic craftsmanship is evident throughout. Antique heart pine floors span the entire first level. Tall, 10’10” ceilings are accented with intricate dental moldings. Rare etched moldings frame doorways and stairwells. Seven fireplaces contribute both warmth and ambiance. And at the heart of the home lies a formal dining room designed to impress. Coffered ceilings add depth and drama, while classic wainscoting wraps the room in elegance.

The kitchen is a blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Features include granite countertops, large island, abundant cabinetry, gas cooktop, double ovens, wet bar and beverage refrigerator. Adjacent to the kitchen, the keeping room offers a cozy gathering space centered around a fireplace—perfect for casual evenings or hosting family and friends. Nearby, a private office with access to a full bath offers flexibility for work-from-home needs or could easily function as a guest suite.

Just steps from the kitchen is one of the home’s most remarkable spaces: a 24’ x 39’ great room designed for relaxation and entertainment. Features include a vaulted ceiling, tile floors, custom built-ins, and a full secondary kitchen. A wood-burning fireplace adds rustic charm, while an abundance of windows overlooks a walled courtyard. Beyond the great room, two additional bedrooms share a full bath to accommodate guests or extended family. Ample storage closets and a dedicated workshop further enhance the functionality of this wing of the home – all of which could be renovated into a stunning, first floor primary suite.

Upstairs, the second level features three bedrooms, three full baths and laundry. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with fireplace, en suite bath with tiled shower, and an adjoining room that can serve as a closet, dressing room, nursery, or private sitting area. Two guest bedrooms are generously sized and one includes its own en suite bath, while another shares a full bath. A large laundry room with built-in cabinetry provides convenience and practicality.

The third floor offers a large, flexible space that invites creativity—ideal for a bunkroom, playroom, studio, or even a private retreat or “man cave.” Its scale and character make it a unique feature that can adapt to a variety of needs.

Outside, the home features large covered porches, a huge porte corchere and beautifully landscaped grounds on a generous .84 acre lot. This is more than a home—it is a legacy property, a place where history, architecture, and modern comfort converge. With its grand scale, exquisite details, and unparalleled setting, this 1885 residence represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Camden’s enduring history.
