Tucked into the heart of Greenville, South Carolina, this enchanting 1930s bungalow was transformed into a private sanctuary approximately ten years ago. Now, for the first time, it is being offered for sale. The current owner has considered every detail, creating a home that feels both refined and welcoming. That thoughtful approach to renovation and design has also earned the owner a GGAR Renovation award, a distinction that speaks to the care, craftsmanship and respect for the home’s character evident throughout the property. With approximately 1,400 square feet, two bedrooms , two full bathrooms, abundant storage and modern amenities, it lives with an ease that belies its modest footprint. Hardwood and tile floors bring warmth throughout. Custom closets provide exceptional organization, while a cozy Franklin wood stove invites you to settle in. Serene finishes and carefully chosen details create a sense of calm in every room. The light-filled office - which easily works as a third bedroom - overlooks the backyard oasis, making every workday feel inspired. But the true magic of 23 Underwood reveals itself through the back door where you are transported into a remarkable oasis… A sparkling saltwater pool anchors the garden sanctuary, promising sun-drenched afternoons, refreshing swims, quiet mornings and long summer evenings with loved ones. This amazing pool has a natural gas heater that extends the swimming season. The surrounding landscape feels lush, private and alive. Each planting adds beauty, texture and purpose to an outdoor setting meant to be enjoyed. The detached garage has a covered patio that provides a shady retreat beside the pool. It already has sheetrock, electricity and water - ready to be transformed into the perfect accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to applicable approvals. Follow the path along the garage to enter the back of the property where you’ll find flourishing herb gardens, a plethora of pollinator plants, a play area and a fire pit awaiting stories, laughter, and the roasting of marshmallows on cool autumn nights. This is not simply a backyard. It is an unassuming world of its own. Yet this peaceful retreat is only minutes from downtown Greenville, the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Cleveland Park, the new Pickle ball courts, Greenville Zoo, Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Falls Park and the world-class Peace Center, not to mention Michelin star dining, and plentiful shopping. At 23 Underwood Avenue, city convenience and private sanctuary coexist. History, thoughtful design, modern comfort and natural beauty come together in one unforgettable property—A home this special is not simply purchased. It is discovered, experienced and, if you are fortunate, cherished for years to come.
