. . . when you buy this Southern
mansion in Sumter, South Carolina. Grand, yet comfortable, this house
was featured in the June 2006 South
Carolina Homes and Gardens magazine and
described as being "long known as the prettiest house in town
with its distinctive yellow brick and tall columned half-round portico." The
article also called it a "Sumter showplace for decades." |
Built in 1912 by Henry Davis Barnett
for his new bride, the house has been home to three generations and
meticulously maintained.
The four bedroom, three and one-half bath house is set on two and one half acres in the middle of town, yet you feel like you are in the country while relaxing on the porches or in the beautiful
garden. |

| The twelve foot ceilings and Corinthian columns which
separate the living room and music room create airiness and memories
of days gone by. Beautiful details include parquet floors, extensive
porches, Corinthian columns outside, seven fireplaces, and updated
kitchen. |
