406 N Main Street

Description

A rare opportunity presents itself at this historic Main Street downtown Fountain Inn Home. With all of the historic charm and potential you’ve been searching for, this home’s new owners may continue the legacy of Ft Inn’s most prominent leaders. Less than half a mile from Trade Street, the home features timeless, original 1.75” hand sewn oak hardwoods throughout the 3,099sqft 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home. With two sitting rooms & a formal, coffered ceiling dining room, the home is an entertainer’s dream. The spacious kitchen features a capped fireplace, a large pantry, and plenty of counter and cabinet space. A large laundry room was added in ‘85 off of the rear sitting room. Beautiful oak stairs & rails lead you to the three upstairs bedroom, including the massive primary suite (also enhanced with a fireplace). The ensuite bathroom houses enough natural light to make LEDs jealous, PLUS four large closets. Potentially the most fun feature of the house, saloon doors keep the toilet private without sacrificing openness. Classical picture molding, casings, & trim line the ceilings and doors of the second story bedrooms & foyer. The landing between staircases creates a picturesque scene for a cozy nook or small desk. The new homeowners will enjoy visitors on the expansive front porch just as the Ft Inn founding Garrett family did throughout the 20s and 30s. The lot is nearly an acre large. A tiered backyard garden oasis with mature oak and pecan trees, blooming azaleas, hydrangeas, dogwoods, would make for memories for years to come. Without an HOA, the homeowner will have plenty of space and little regulation to create the back garden of their dreams. Whether your style is a large garden & chicken coop or a pool, the options are endless. The original house was built in 1915 for Dr J.A. Fulmer, before many child parcels were purchased by the Garrett family in 1916; one of which was donated to the school district- which is now the Yount’s Center. This home has witnessed generations come and go through all stages of life. The walls and floors are laden with history. This home is ready to raise its next generation, hand in hand with the tight knit community of the Hallmark Town of Fountain Inn. The current homeowners have recently encapsulated the foundation & crawlspace, replaced both water heaters, have had both HVAC units serviced annually, and have recently had a roof inspection.
