Built in 1885 by Colonel J.W. Livingston and his wife, Clara Kilpatrick Livingston, who moved their family to Seneca from nearby Pendleton, this home boasts 4700 plus sq ft of ornate craftsmanship. The Livingston-Stribling House has a rich history due to J.W. Livingston’s legacy as a local newspaper editor and South Carolina State Senator and due to his son-in-law, Dr. J S.

Inside, you’ll find seven fireplaces, ten-to-twelve-foot ceilings, heart pine flooring, eight-foot doorways, original moldings and stairways, ornately crafted mill work, fretwork, and pocket doors. Care has been taken to preserve the Victorian character of the house during updates and restorations, which includes a new roof in 2021. Renovations have been executed in accordance with the Secretary of State's Guidelines by the Restoration of Properties on the National Register of Historic Places. With 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in this 4,730 square foot home on a full one-acre parcel, you are offered a cozy home feeling while provided with plenty of space to entertain up to 100 party guests. Architect owner has worked diligently to preserve the original beauty of the home and at the same time create an environment for living and for guests.
