The Perfect Home in SC
The perfect home in South Carolina is for sale! If you are looking for the perfect home in SC, you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything more historic and immaculate than Bloomsbury, 1707 Lyttleton St, Camden, SC.
Conveniently located in the historic district, near downtown, this historically significant, antebellum home is located on a quiet, tree-lined street:
“And yet from my window I look out on a many gallant youth and maiden fair…They call the walk in front of Bloomsbury ‘The Boulevard’.”
Mary Boykin Chesnut, 12 June 1865
The architecture, restoration and gardens accentuate life on a grand scale.
For sale: This strikingly graceful Antebellum home, c.1854, is a true testament to its history. This landmark jewel was built by Colonel James Chesnut, Sr., and was named for his wife’s childhood home, Bloomsbury Court, in New Jersey. Following the Civil War, the Chesnuts (including Mary Boykin Chesnut, famed Civil War diarist) resided at Bloomsbury.
