801 Magness, Spartanburg, SC 29303


EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC AUCTION OPPORTUNITY in Spartanburg AUGUST 11, 2026 at 600 PM. This is NOT A FORECLOSURE! Open House/Inspection on AUGUST 5 from 4-6PM. 801 Magness Drive — a distinctive 3-level brick and board-and-batten home built in 1958 and nestled beneath a canopy of mature hardwoods on a generous 0.55-acre lot in one of Spartanburg's most established neighborhoods. With approximately 2,398 sq ft of living space across three finished levels, this home offers an exceptional combination of mid-century character, thoughtful updates, and outstanding flexibility — ideal for multi-generational living, rental income, or a buyer ready to add their own personal touch. The main living level (2nd floor) greets you with original ornate dentil crown molding that flows throughout the living and dining areas — a hallmark of quality craftsmanship rarely found today. The spacious living room (19.58' x 13') features a brick fireplace flanked by arched built-in bookshelves and lower cabinet storage, French doors, and an open connection to the dining area through a signature half-wall with decorative wrought iron spindles. The formal dining room (13.08' x 13') boasts bold character with a classic chandelier, built-in corner hutch, and abundant natural light. The kitchen (22.75' x 9.42') offers hardwood-look flooring, Tiffany-style lighting, beadboard wainscoting, and a side entry with arched window — a wonderful foundation ready for your modern vision. Step out to the large screened porch (12.42' x 17.67') overlooking a private, tree-lined yard with a beautiful brick-walled patio garden — a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. The upper level (3rd floor) houses the primary bedroom suite (15.83' x 12.75') with two walk-in closets and a private en suite bath with shower stall. Two additional bedrooms (17.08' x 13' and 10.25' x 13') share an updated hall bath featuring a tub/shower combo behind a stylish sliding barn door with new gray shaker vanity, round mirror, brushed nickel fixtures, and new LVP flooring — a fresh, move-in ready finish. The ground level (1st floor) is where this home truly shines for multi-generational or investment potential. This fully finished lower level features a stunning completely renovated kitchen (16.5' x 10.58') with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, matte black hardware, LVP flooring, and drop-ceiling lighting — move-in ready and beautifully done. The adjacent family room (30.42' x 13') is an impressive space anchored by a full brick accent wall, a second fireplace with brass surround, built-in shelving, large windows overlooking the private patio, and a separate exterior entrance. A brand-new full bath with walk-in shower, matte black fixtures, and new vanity completes the lower level. A hall barn door, staircase connecting all three levels, and interior garage access round out this versatile space. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage (32.92' x 22.75'), a detached garage/workshop with carport in the rear, an oversized paved driveway, and stunning mature landscaping with brick-bordered garden beds. A small creek runs along the back of the property, adding a serene natural boundary to this private 0.55-acre lot. The home's tri-level layout with multiple entry points, two full kitchens, and two fireplaces makes it an exceptional candidate for in-law suite use or owner-occupied rental. Conveniently located just off HWY 176 (N. Pine St.) with easy access to I-585, Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, downtown Spartanburg, USC Upstate, and Wofford College. Bring your vision — the bones, the character, and the location are all here. **You do not have to wait for the auction to make an offer. All offers will be presented to the seller!
