Modern Historic Home

Property Description

Nestled in the heart of Greenville’s coveted Alta Vista neighborhood, 516 Cleveland Street is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated 1930s Tudor-style home originally designed by renowned architect William Riddle Ward, Jr. (“Willie Ward”), celebrated for his timeless craftsmanship and attention to detail. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence perfectly balances historic character with modern sophistication. The living room welcomes you with a beautifully detailed fireplace surround, all-new casement windows, and access to a delightful, shaded side porch, ideal for relaxed entertaining and quiet evenings. The spacious dining room, accented with classic wainscoting, flows seamlessly into a bright kitchen designed for both functionality and entertaining. The kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, a curated mix of custom cabinetry—including glass- front cabinets and open shelving—a stunning arched brick stove/oven alcove with beautiful herringbone detail, two walk-in pantries with shelving, meticulous custom finishes throughout, and double doors opening to the outdoors. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a sitting area with built-in shelving, a tile shower, dual vanities, and two expansive walk-in closets, each thoughtfully outfitted with a custom closet system. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility and storage. One bedroom includes quaint built-ins, ideal for a playroom, craft space, or guest suite, along with a full en-suite bath and access to a terrace overlooking the side and rear yard. This area also offers two generous, heated and cooled walk-in storage areas. The second upstairs bedroom is equally inviting, boasting a full en-suite bath, walk-in closet, abundant natural light, and plenty of space to sleep, work or play. Behind the scenes, the home has been meticulously updated with all-new electrical wiring, a new tankless hot water heater, all-new casement windows throughout, new ceilings and walls, new fixtures, lighting, interior & exterior paint, a new roof on both the home and detached garage—providing modern peace of mind while preserving the home’s architectural integrity.
