The interior is sleek and modern, with gleaming hardwood floors and high-end kitchen appliances and bright, airy spaces flooded with generous amounts of natural light. But walking outside, to an exterior made of stone that was excavated from Paris Mountain, is like a step back in time. Indeed that’s the duality of 220 Lake Circle Drive, a Greenville home on a relatively flat 3.
6-acre lot perched atop Paris Mountain, and recently listed for sale for $2.49 million. The interior of the four-bedroom, 4,482-square-foot home is awash in luxury finishes and modern comforts.
But the stone exterior still looks very much as it did in 1920, when the residence on a property known as Bloomhill Estate was built by descendants of the Furman family. “The home was part of a property where the founding fathers of Greenville used to meet to discuss the future of Greenville,” said Susan Dodds of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner Realtors, who is co-listing the property along with Maggie Joyner.
Susan Dodds “It’s just a very, very unique piece of property on top of Paris Mountain, and the fact that it’s flat is amazing,” she added. “You don’t quite get the views you’d get on the side of the mountain, though those views could be obtained through some tree work. But it’s only had two owners, and a lot of the things found in the house were donated to the history museum by the estate.
” The archives of the Greenville News are full of mentions of the Bloomhill Estate.
