luxury architect houses for sale Greenville County, United States

Designed and built as the primary residence of renowned Southeastern architect Earle Gaulden of Craig, Gaulden, Davis, the home carries the same spirit of innovation and craftsmanship that defines the firm’s landmark contributions to Greenville, including the Peace Center, the Greenville County Museum of Art, the South Carolina Children’s Theatre, and the Hughes Main Library. Perfectly situated in one of the Upstate's most coveted neighborhoods, Alta Vista, this extraordinary nearly 3,000 sq. ft. mid-century modern home is just a mile from the award-winning restaurants, shops, and cultural life of Downtown Greenville. From the moment you arrive, the home’s timeless cedar shake exterior, crisp lines, and seamless integration with the natural landscape set the stage. Step inside to find an entertainer’s dream: open spaces bathed in natural light, doors stretching across the main living room (w/ wet bar) that open onto a spacious deck, and a tranquil backdrop of mature trees and a gentle creek. Throughout the home, subtle architectural details and bespoke craftsmanship await discovery—from clever built-in cabinetry to a striking leather-backed bookcase accented with touches of gold, silver, and copper. Two well-appointed primary suites, one on each level, provide both flexibility and privacy. The lower level adds remarkable potential: with generous square footage already in place, the nearly 1000' basement is plumbed and ready for easy finishing—whether as a recreation space, media room, studio, or guest retreat. As distinctive in its own way as his iconic residential and cultural projects, this residence is far more than a house—it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Greenville’s architectural story, a home that gracefully balances history, artistry, and livability in one of the Upstate’s most cherished settings.
