17 Garraux Street

17 Garraux Street | North Main Lifestyle Living Tucked within Greenville’s highly sought-after North Main community, 17 Garraux Street blends 1930s character with thoughtful modern updates—offering timeless appeal in one of the city’s most active, neighborly enclaves. Built in 1939, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod has all the hallmarks of its era—original hardwoods, classic lines, and enduring charm—paired with today’s conveniences. With over 2,100 square feet of finished living space (plus an unfinished basement), the home offers flexibility for how you live today and room to grow for tomorrow.

Inside, the updated kitchen strikes the perfect balance of form and function with stainless appliances- a smooth cooktop, double oven (one is convection/microwave combo), warming drawer, beverage chiller, and vented hood—all designed to make daily life and entertaining effortless. The living room sets the tone with original hardwood floors, timeless trim details, and a gas fireplace that instantly makes the space feel like home. The main-level bedroom is currently used as a cozy TV room but could easily be converted back into a bedroom.

For buyers looking to elevate it even further, the adjoining office provides an incredible opportunity—think private dressing room, luxe walk-in closet, or even the foundation for a future ensuite bath. With the right vision, this could become a main-level primary suite that feels intentional and custom. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer the kind of layout and storage you don’t often find in a 1930s home—each with true walk-in closets.

The rooms feel warm, quiet, and inviting— perfect for sleeping in, reading, or enjoying a quiet morning. Both bathrooms have been thoughtfully renovated—one with finishes that nod to the home’s classic character, the other with a more streamlined, contemporary feel. A large, deck with pergola—built in 2022—extends your living space outdoors, overlooking a terraced rear yard where a once-thriving vineyard owned by the Garraux family flourished.

The 0.32 ± acre lot offers space for play, gardens, pets, and outdoor dining under a canopy of mature trees. Downstairs, a full unfinished basement provides additional storage, workshop or future expansion potential.

Beyond the home itself, North Main offers a lifestyle that’s hard to duplicate. It’s a true community—active and welcoming, with neighbors who know each other (but don’t mind others business too much). Seasonal gatherings like the Spring Social, Halloween parade on Earle Street, and Boo on Buist block party keep the calendar full.

And when you’re ready to get out and about, you’ll find everything you need within blocks: just down the hill is the iconic SODA SHOP, a longtime staple for a quick bite; up the hill, THE DROP IN, our own neighborhood bodega offering groceries, beer, wine, liquor, and hot lunches with personality. Grab a pint at THE COMMUNITY TAP—North Main’s version of Cheers—or meet friends at THE BOHEMIAN for lunch, dinner, happy hour, or weekend brunch. Add in walkable, bike-friendly streets (and yes, golf-cart-friendly too) plus easy access to downtown Greenville, and you’ll quickly see why North Main is one of the city’s most coveted addresses.

17 Garraux Street isn’t just an address—it’s a chance to live where tradition meets possibility, in a community that feels like Greenville at its very best.
