Historic Homes for Sale in Florence, SC
-Uncommonly Classic-
Plaster walls, heart pine floors, deep front porches, and rooms built long before anyone had heard of drywall. If that's the kind of house you want, you're in the right place. I'm Sara Hape with BlackManor Real Estate, and older and historic homes are my specialty here in Florence and the Pee Dee.
Where to find older homes in Florence
- Timrod Park Historic District: Craftsman bungalows, cottages and larger homes on tree-lined streets around the 18-acre Timrod Park, minutes from downtown. See my Timrod Park guide.
- Downtown Florence: the city's historic core along Dargan, Evans and Cheves Streets, where older buildings are being restored as shops, restaurants and apartments.
- Older in-town neighborhoods: areas like Forest Hills, West Haven and Green Acres have classic mid-century homes on mature, shaded lots close to downtown.
- Country homes outside town: farmhouses and older homes on acreage across Florence and Darlington Counties.
What to know before you buy an old house
Old homes have character a new build can't copy. They also come with their own checklist: wiring, plumbing, foundations, termites, moisture and insurance. Parts of Florence sit in city overlay districts, where some exterior changes need review by the City of Florence Planning office. I walk my buyers through all of it before they write an offer, so there are no surprises after closing.
