Welcome to The James Hunter House, circa 1860, an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the town’s most iconic and historically significant residences. This remarkable downtown colonial estate encompasses two prominent historic landmarks, The James Hunter House and the Pendleton Armory, both proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rich in local history and architectural legacy, James Hunter, longtime mayor of Pendleton and owner of Hunter’s Store, commissioned the home in 1860 to replace an earlier residence on the site. Designed with symmetry and grandeur, its floorplan mirrors the historic Sitton House located just across the street. Hunter was deeply woven into the fabric of Pendleton life, operating a blacksmith and iron forge shop while contributing to the town’s growth and development. Adjacent to the residence stands the famed Pendleton Armory, believed to date back to circa 1804 and thought to be the oldest surviving brick structure in Pendleton. Originally constructed as a workshop, the building later became an arsenal during the War Between the States and was widely known as the Jones Rifles Building. Positioned prominently on the corner of Cherry Street and South Mechanic, the Armory remains a profoundly rare surviving relic of early Southern craftsmanship and military history; rich with artifact, authenticity and historical character. Beyond its remarkable provenance, the over 4,300-square-foot residence is overflowing with original architectural detail and timeless Southern elegance. From the lovingly worn hardwood floors to original exterior doors and hardware, hand-hewn wallboards and ceilings, intricate millwork, and eight stunning fireplaces, every inch of the home tells a story. The breathtaking grand foyer immediately transports you to the grandeur of the antebellum era, setting the tone for the entire residence. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the home offers expansive formal spaces including a gracious dining room, exquisite living room, intimate parlor, and a spacious eat-in kitchen with room to create a custom scullery or chef’s pantry. Upstairs, generous rooms provide endless flexibility for luxurious bedroom suites, private studies, creative studios, or additional gathering spaces. A covered upper balcony offers the perfect setting for slow mornings, afternoon reading, or evening conversation overlooking the historic surroundings. A third-floor attic provides exceptional storage or the opportunity to create an additional finished living space. Outdoors, the oversized screened porch and fire pit gathering area extend the home’s hospitality even further, creating inviting spaces to relax and entertain beneath the canopy of mature landscaping. Located just steps from Pendleton’s charming town square, the property offers a walkable lifestyle surrounded by beloved restaurants, wine bars, coffee shops, boutiques, and local markets. Its close proximity to Clemson University and Lake Hartwell further enhances its appeal and accessibility. Steeped in heritage, culture, and architectural significance, this historic downtown estate stands as one of Pendleton’s most treasured properties. Whether preserved as a distinguished private residence, transformed into a boutique Southern bed and breakfast, or envisioned as a destination event venue and garden estate, the possibilities are truly endless. Schedule your private tour today and experience one of the Upstate’s most extraordinary historic landmarks.
