Just steps from ECU's main campus, 1702 E Fifth Street sits in one of those established pockets of Greenville where the location speaks for itself. Within walking distance or a short drive of Downtown's restaurants, coffee shops, arts and cultural scene, with easy access to the Greenway connecting you to even more of the city. What makes this one different is everything that comes with that location: nearly 2,700 square feet, a remarkably private setting beneath a canopy of mature trees, and a 1945 home that has evolved over eight decades without losing the character that made it special in the first place. Inside, hardwood floors, substantial millwork and built-ins carry that character throughout. French doors open from the hallway into the living room, with its gas fireplace and distinctive arched built-ins. Just beyond, the sunroom might be the best surprise in the house. Slate floors, painted exposed brick, built-in shelving, walls of windows and a reclaimed wood plank ceiling give it a character all its own. The formal dining room is framed by a large bay window, while the kitchen and adjoining breakfast area create a natural gathering space at the back of the house. Renovated in 2017, the kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile, a large center island, built-in pantry, gas range with stainless hood and double wall ovens. A full bath with tiled walk-in shower is also located on the main level. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including the primary suite with an ensuite bath and walk-in closet. And then there is the dressing room. Built-in wardrobes, cabinetry, banks of drawers, hanging space and a long mirrored dressing counter turn what could have been another closet into an actual room of its own. It is charming, incredibly useful and exactly the kind of unexpected detail that makes this house so memorable. An updated hall bath and laundry are also located on the bedroom level. Outside, you really begin to understand what decades of an established property can give you. Mature trees and landscaping surround the home, creating a level of privacy that is hard to come by this close to the center of Greenville. The expansive brick patio beneath the trees feels like an extension of the house, while the new rear deck with cable railing adds a second outdoor living space. Much of the backyard is enclosed by fencing, with plenty of lawn and established landscaping beyond. From the diamond-paned leaded glass at the front entry to the arched built-ins, bay windows, slate sunroom and rooms tucked beneath the roofline, the history of this home isn't something that has been recreated. It's part of what makes it so special. More than 80 years later, the architecture still matters, the setting has only gotten better, and the location is as hard to replicate as ever.
