218 Mcmakin Drive

A timeless brick home rich in original charm and character, featuring modern updates and unique architectural features. Located in a beautiful section of Greenville’s sought-after Sans Souci neighborhood, it's less than 10minutes from Downtown Greenville, Travelers Rest, and Paris Mountain, and less than 5 minutes to groceries and shopping. Even better, the neighborhood’s favorite coffee shop, Daydrinkers, is just 3 minutes away.

The main level features a welcoming living room with a beautiful stone fireplace, a dining area, a remodeled kitchen, the primary bedroom, and a full bathroom with built-in cabinetry. The updated kitchen combines style and function with soft-close cabinets, quartz countertops, a ribbed tile backsplash, and new stainless-steel appliances. Natural gas is available, providing the option to run a gas line and install a gas range if desired.

Off the kitchen, a few steps down the one-of-a-kind curved brick staircase leads you to a truly special addition. A huge, light-filled multipurpose room with large windows spanning all three walls and exposed brick that adds warmth and character. With a new roof and new flooring installed in 2026, this versatile space is ideal for gathering or creating a cozy retreat for reading, hobbies, workouts or simple lounging.

In August 2026, the entire home was rewired with an updated electrical system, providing valuable peace of mind. The water heater was replaced in 2025. More thoughtful details include beautifully restored hardwood floors, plantation shutters, vintage brass doorknobs, freshly painted walls, new light fixtures, and an exterior French drain.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a half bath provide flexible space for family, guests, or a home office with an abundance of additional storage in the attic alcoves. Outside, the large front yard and fully fenced backyard offer plenty of room for pets, gardening and entertaining. A mature mulberry tree produces berries and the two large oak trees were recently assessed by an arborist, professionally pruned, and found to be in excellent health.

Brick-edged areas throughout the property provide charming opportunities for flower gardens and additional landscaping. At the end of the driveway, a generous area offers potential for a future garage, workshop, or garden. The walk-out basement, accessed directly from the driveway, adds even more useful space with a laundry area, workshop, and abundant storage.

A home with this much character, flexibility, and thoughtful updating is a rare find in such a convenient location. Come experience the charm of Sans Souci and all this special property has to offer.
