Introducing The James Hunter Home Offered to the Public for the First Time! Nestled in the heart of historic Pendleton, South Carolina, The James Hunter Home is a rare and extraordinary offering, marking its first time ever on the public market. Built circa 1860, this antebellum residence remained in the same family for generations, until it was lovingly entrusted to a dedicated steward chosen to preserve its legacy. This stately home now stands as a testament to Pendletons deep historical roots and Southern heritage, encompassing not one, but two of the towns most cherished landmarks, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Commissioned by Mr. James Hunter, founder of Hunters Store, the home was designed as a wedding gift for his bride. Her sister, married to Mr. Sitton, lived just across the street, giving rise to the homes affectionate nickname, The Sister House.

This stunning example of antebellum craftsmanship retains a wealth of original features including the exterior doors with original hardware, richly worn hardwood floors, hand-hewn wallboards and ceilings, and eight intricately carved fireplace mantles. Much of the exquisite trim work and millwork are attributed to renowned 19th-century master furniture maker William Knauff, whose daughter later married the homes second owner, Mr. Terr
