The Floyd-Carpenter House is a stunning example of Neoclassical architecture, built in 1903 by renowned local builder C.C. "Cam" Davis. Commissioned by L.W. Floyd, who established Newberry's first telephone system, the home features a striking semi-circular portico supported by grand Corinthian columns. Often referred to as `The White House,' it stands as one of Newberry's most iconic residences. The current owners have recently revitalized the home. The exterior of the house has been freshly painted a stunning white, complemented by a wrap-around porch in a classic cadet blue "” reflecting traditional Newberry porch colors. Inside, the bedrooms have been replastered and painted in stylish tones, including an owner's suite, a downstairs single bedroom, and several upstairs rooms. The kitchen has been transformed into a charming eat-in space that overlooks a spacious rear garden, and includes modern appliances such as ovens, a dishwasher, a large refrigerator, and a microwave. The main and side hallways have also been updated, along with the upstairs laundry room, which features a washer and dryer. The home retains many original features, such as large pocket doors, grand chandeliers, and decorative coving. It includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms, and a plaque indicates its status on the National Register of Historic Places. The Floyd-Carpenter House also honors the Carpenter family who owned the house and a downtown department store for many decades. Newberry offers a vibrant community with attractions such as its international opera house, a picturesque vineyard, gourmet restaurants, and delightful shops. Residents enjoy a zen Japanese garden, popular bars, cafes, an ice cream parlor, and a yoga studio. This year, Newberry was recognized as one of the top ten best small towns in the South by Southern Living. The house is conveniently located in the historic district, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and various amenities, making it a wonderful place to call home.
