About this home
Welcome to 1234 Calhoun Street—the Walter Hunt House—where architectural distinction, civic legacy, and neighborhood pride converge.Built circa 1872, this remarkable residence stands on one of Newberry’s most established historic streets. Its pedimented portico and classic detailing reflect a time when craftsmanship and permanence mattered.Calhoun Street is more than an address—it’s a community. Lined with gracious historic homes and cared for by neighbors who value stewardship and tradition, it offers a quiet, walkable setting 10 Minutes walk from Newberry's Opera House, where front porches still invite conversation and pride of place defines daily life. This property contributes to the National Register–listed Newberry Historic District, underscoring its architectural and cultural significance.The home’s history is inseparable from Newberry’s civic story. Walter Hunt (1861–1927), a prominent attorney, industrial leader, and trustee of Newberry College, helped shape the town’s economic and educational foundations. In later years, the home was also owned by James Wiseman, a respected community leader who led the effort to restore the Newberry Opera House, securing its future as the cultural heart of the town.The wonderful yard features historic Southern plantings, including mature Magnolias and camellias, awaiting a new owner to breathe life back into this classic garden landscape. Large shade trees grace both the front and rear yards, including what is believed to be one of the largest magnolia trees in Newberry County—a living landmark anchoring the property in time.Expanded again in 1927 the residence has evolved gracefully. Today, however, it stands at a crossroads. Vacant for decades, this magnificent home requires a full rehabilitation and is currently uninhabitable. Important infrastructure work has already been completed, including a new roof and updated electrical wiring within the past ten years, but a comprehensive restoration is needed.This is not a turnkey home, but a rare opportunity for a preservation-minded buyer to steward a landmark property, revive a historic garden, and write the next chapter of a place deeply rooted in Newberry's past.
