It’s not often you find a property that has seen so much history on the market. The Plantersville Institute Dormitory circa 1850 was built before the Civil War. 175 years of memories…if only those walls could talk! The inside is somewhat vanilla but the bones are fantastic. The floors are well maintained and beautifully glossy. On top of that, this property is 6.6 acres. Plenty of space to build lush gardens. And nothing beats the South in the spring!
From the listing
Welcome to the Plantersville Institute Dormitory, built by A. D. Bell circa 1850 for Issac Stone, a wealthy planter. The home was later owned by Thomas Armstrong Cook who was a former teacher at the institute. This pre-Civil War two-story Greek Revival estate stood the test of time and is the last surviving antebellum building in the Plantersville community. Four majestic square columns, under a tetrastyle portico, support a pediment over the central bay of the 50-foot wide three-bay front facade. The portico shelters the main front double door entrance, in addition to a second story balcony with an intricate wrought iron balustrade and matching upper doorway, flanked by sidelights creating a three-part window arrangement. Boasting 3 large bedrooms and a newly updated full bath upstairs, and 2 newly updated full baths downstairs with optional master on main. The home features axe-hewn beams, mortise and tenon joint construction, and original wide heart-pine floors, front and back stairs
