1503 Elm St. · Conway, SC 29526
A rare opportunity to own one of Conway’s most iconic historic homes, the H.W. Ambrose House. Known locally as “the house that built Conway,” this remarkable early 20th century estate was built by H.W. Ambrose, a key figure in the city’s development. Situated on approximately two acres along Elm Street, one of Conway’s most distinguished historic corridors, the home stands as a true landmark within the community. The residence showcases the scale, craftsmanship, and architectural character that define historic estates of this era. Expansive living spaces, timeless details, and classic design elements reflect the elegance of early 1900s architecture while offering the opportunity for modern living within a truly storied home. Over the past year, the current owners have invested significant care and resources into the property, completing both major improvements and thoughtful repairs throughout the home. Their work reflects a deep commitment to preserving the integrity and legacy of this historic residence while ensuring its continued longevity. Properties of this scale, historical significance, and location rarely become available - and they rarely come fully furnished! The H.W. Ambrose House is more than a home. It is a cornerstone of Conway’s history and one of the city’s most recognized residences. Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. For the next owner, this is not just a purchase, it is the chance to become the next steward of a truly legendary Conway estate.
