Property Description

History, be a part of it: The only home in Historic Georgetown known as the first...there's only one of these. A rare opportunity to be the steward of history. How cool to call home, the first Tavern - gathering place for the new Town and the oldest, Circa 1734, home in Georgetown, South Carolina. The Thomas Bolem House, the first Tavern in Town, served the Port community of merchants, sailors, locals, travelers and planters - those growing rice, indigo, cotton and trees/lumber - shipped all around the World. One would think 250 years ago as President George Washington stayed in Georgetown on his southern tour at the Parker/Stewart House just blocks away, he would have also visited thisTavern at 719 Prince Street. He spoke to the townspeople just around the corner on Front Street. Tales of unexplained visitors and an elderly sailor appearing within the house have become part of Georgetown's rich ghost story folklore, adding another layer to a renovated and turn-key property already a wealth of history. Just down Prince Street is The Winyah Indigo Society Hall, used as a hospital for Union troops during the Civil War. A couple of blocks away is a three-story harborfront home (the Tarbox House) used as a lookout across the bay for British ships entering the Harbor during the Revolutionary War. And 719 Prince, stood to see it all. The home has been meticulously kept in keeping with its past. General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox) and General Peter Horry, it is told, entered the home upon taking back Georgetown from British troops to find three British Officers upstairs (was an Inn then) with scantily clad women as Horry reported, pistols were drawn and swords too, a shot fired, one officer jumped over the porch and broke a leg - as told by former Mayor Jack Scoville, another his girl wrapped her arms around her man and begged for his life. All Officers were let go. After two wars literally fought around this home and nearly three centuries later, the house remains and in wonderful condition. 719 Prince Street offers something increasingly rare: The opportunity not simply to live in The Historic Disctrict, but to become the steward of a property connected to Georgetown, South Carolina's very beginnings AND the earliest history of the United States of America. The renovated home, coveniently located literally steps from Front Street and its exciting botiquie shops, fine dining (no chains), play-house, marina's and waterfront, is accented with a gourmet kitchen and stainless appliances, original hardwood flooring just refinished, 10-foot ceilings, substantial moulding and doors, a new HVAC heat pump and a recently sodded beautifully large and fenced back yard. As you enter the home, you'll notice first and second floor side-to-side piazzas capturing South Carolina Coastal trade winds. And lastly, as you might expect, 719 Prince is on the National Register of Historic Places. So, come see the history, the place where the Townspeople gathered, and just maybe you'll bump into a long lost sailor lost in time. As this one was contracted before formerly Listed, the Listing Agent encourages backup offers as there is a Contingency on the Contract.
