Sitting on over 1.8 acres in the Historic District of Cheraw, SC, this classic Greek Revival plantation home was built by Captain James H. Powe, CSA on land owned by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Henrietta Robbins. The original tract consisted of hundreds of acres in crops, as Cheraw was a major port for cargo carrying steam and sailing ships on the Great Pee Dee River. The "main house" (5,200+ SQFT) , built in 1842, consists of a spacious 40'X12' center hall with three 19' X 17' public rooms. A sun room adjoins the parlor and dining room and has a view of the side flower garden. Completing the original lower level are two bedrooms connected by a full bath. The kitchen with full butlers pantry, breakfast room, and laundry room are housed in a later addition. The upper level has been developed into a master suite complete with walk-in closets and bath. Another area suitable for a library is found at the top of the stairs. <br><br>The "Carriage House" ,built in 1950, is a separate 2 story brick and siding home with 2 bedrooms, a full bath, galley kitchen with laundry, dining room, living room, and sun room.
