 Historic home in Greenwood is up for sale. The Vance-Maxwell home, original home of Connie Maxwell, Dr.John C Maxwell and his wife helped established the original Connie Maxwell Orphanage and was named for their only child, Connie. The home was originally built in 1898 as a 1 1/2 story farmhouse with a central hall and remodeled between 1898 and 1904 in the Second Empire Style it is today with a second story and a mansard roof was added to the home. The home is listed on the National Register of Historical Places  listed on the list of Greenwood Historic Places and soon to be added to the overlay of protected Historical Homes in Greenwood. The home features the original fireplaces, wood work, period moldings doors and embellishments found in homes of the era and some of the original heart of pine hardwood floors. A stately staircase rises up from the original main hall and greets you as you enter the original double sided front door. The front entrance of the home with it's grand wrap around covered porch is where horse and buggies would pull up to the front of the home with visitors and the family would use the back entrance off of Pressley street (this is the only way to access the home today by car). The floor plan of the home lends itself to any number of ways to define the spaces as the new owner desires. The main hall has rooms off to the left and right and the main hall staircase leads to three bedrooms and a bath upstairs, the bedroom to the right was the original dormitory for the children. Back downstairs, the kitchen is located on the back of the home and has been partially remodeled with granite counter tops, gas counter top range and built in eye level oven and cabinets galore! A wall of floor to ceiling cabinets were done in an earlier time and offer lots of storage options. A casual dining area off the kitchen opens into a room with a massive wall of built in book cases that was originally the dining hall for the children and was used by owners as the den and features a stone faced gas fireplace. There are three other rooms on the right side of the downstairs and a full bath. One of the rooms has another wall of built in bookcases perfect for an office or library. There are two additional rooms off to the left of the main hallway. One of these rooms opens into an unfinished room that would serve perfectly as a downstairs master with ensuite and leads out onto a large screen porch. The informal dining area off of the kitchen leads out to a large two tiered deck and fully fenced back yard with numerous flowering surprises waiting for the new owner in the spring. To the left side of the back exterior of the home features a brick path and would make the perfect setting for a cozy place to sit and enjoy the in ground Koi pond. Extensive landscaping can be found on all areas of the lawn front, sides and back. This home is your chance to own a piece of Greenwood history and has to be on your list of homes to see! More Details and Pictures MLS® #111598

 Buyer Testimonial

 My husband and I were looking for something special where we would feel satisfied with raising our new son. We had looked a little and were not really finding what we wanted. Then we started working with Sally. She showed us everything that might interest us and kept us informed on a daily basis of anything new on the market.She worked patiently from November until February when she showed us a house we could be content in that was just going on the market. We put an offer on our house the same day she showed it to us. There wasn't even a For Sale sign in the yard yet. We are so thankful for her hard work and patience. She never minded working late or being on the phone with us late at night or a Sunday morning. She was available anytime we had a question and was always pleasant and polite.We never felt like we were a bother. We wouldrecommend her to anyone. Sonia and Scott Masterson

 

Sally,

 

I'm writing to thank you for your very professional and very efficient management of the sale of my property. From our first meeting to the final closing of the sale, I felt secure in your management of a process that without you could have been both confusing and emotionally stressful.

 

At out first meeting you provided an objective and realistic assessment of the value of the property and you clearly knew exactly what needed to be done to obtain that value from the market. 

 

Because you communicated with me quickly and clearly while the property was on the market I was never in doubt about the process as we entertained buyers' offers; and you provided the solid, objective advice I needed to respond to those offers.  When it was time to close the deal I was completely confident that I was making the right decision.

 

I also want to thank you for the depth of your honest and forthright approach to real estate transactions in general.  Your ability to maintain transparency with potential buyers and their representatives as well as with me, the seller, is impressive and commendable.

 

I am a very satisfied customer. 

Sincerely, 

Beth Bethel

Selling our house was an experience greatly aided by the persistence and professionalism of Sally Morris. Her knowledge was very helpful as we waded through all the requirements, documentation and other hazards one meets at the time of a sale. Those things are generally expected of a real estate agent, but Sally was a lot more. It was such a relief to work with someone who returns calls, replies to emails and is on top of everything. She was always available for us and more than once gave us encouragement that quieted the anxieties we had about selling while living out of state. We'd like to thank her for everything along the way and to a successful finish.

Fred and Lynn Arrigoni
