Once a 1929 synagogue, now a downtown retreat — 307 Townes Street blends history, craftsmanship, and modern luxury. From a dome-crowned primary suite to a garden oasis with a heated pool, this landmark home is on the market.

Living downtown is special, but calling one of Greenville’s most iconic landmarks home isn’t an opportunity that comes by every day. At 307 Townes Street, a 1929 synagogue has been masterfully restored into a residence that blends historic reverence with modern luxury. The result is a one-of-a-kind, 5,608-sqft home filled with craftsmanship, character, and comfort.

Features of the three-bedroom, five-bathroom house include:

  • The original brick structure, five courses deep, with soaring casement windows
  • Contemporary steel stairwells spanning three levels and a restored steel dome
  • A 900-sqft primary suite under 21-ft ceilings
  • A gourmet kitchen with a 24-foot island
  • Five HVAC systems, new electrical/plumbing, and a dedicated dog wash
  • Lush 0.61-acre grounds with gardens, a stream, a heated gunite concrete pool, a stone patio, and a banquet arbor
