A $100,000 permit issued on June 11 at 623 McDaniel Avenue in Greenville authorizes construction of a new detached garage with an attached ground-floor office, half bath, and loft space that the homeowner describes as a potential future guest bedroom. The project, filed by owner Daniel Wirth and contracted through J Callahan Construction Inc., adds a multi-use accessory building to a residential lot in one of Greenville's established neighborhoods.
What the Permits Show
Permit 2500005155, classified as a residential building permit for a garage/carport/accessory building, was issued with a valuation of $100,000. The owner's comments in the filing spell out a structure that goes well beyond a standard garage: the first floor includes an attached office and a half bath, while the upper level features a loft intended initially for storage but earmarked for possible conversion to a guest bedroom down the road.
J Callahan Construction Inc. is the listed contractor on the project. The permit status is currently marked as issued, clearing the way for construction to begin. The property at 623 McDaniel Avenue is held under the name Wirth Daniel Jtwros, indicating joint tenancy with right of survivorship — a common ownership arrangement for residential property.
The permit's residential classification, despite the inclusion of dedicated office space, reflects Greenville's treatment of accessory structures on single-family lots. The mention of a future guest bedroom in the owner's comments, however, puts the project on the radar for anyone tracking how accessory buildings in the city evolve over time, particularly as interest in accessory dwelling units continues to grow across the Upstate.
Why It Matters
The 623 McDaniel Avenue project is a clear example of homeowners investing in accessory structures that serve multiple functions — parking, remote work, and flexible living space — all within a single build. At $100,000, the valuation places it above typical detached garage projects in the Greenville market and closer to the cost range associated with small accessory dwelling units. For permit watchers and neighbors on McDaniel Avenue alike, the project offers an early data point on how residential lots in central Greenville are being reimagined to accommodate home-office needs and guest accommodations without a full addition to the primary residence.
