Property Description
Step into the charm of circa 1860 living with the comforts of thoughtful modern updates in the heart of Historic Summerville. Set on beautifully landscaped grounds, this three bedroom, two and a half bathroom property offers exceptional curb appeal and privacy, highlighted by a magnificent grand live oak, mature camellias, mature azaleas, and winding brick pathways that create a true garden oasis in town.The property also includes a charming two-story guest cottage of approximately 1,000 square feet, thoughtfully designed with its own living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and half bath, perfect for hosting guests, extended family, or generating income while maintaining separation from the main residence. A wide, welcoming front porch overlooks the lush yard and sets the tone for relaxed Lowcountry living, offering the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings or evening gatherings. Inside, the home showcases soaring ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors throughout, and spacious, light-filled rooms that blend historic character with modern convenience. Two elegant fireplaces anchor the main living spaces (one in the living room and another in the den) adding warmth and timeless charm. The beautifully updated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, a built-in oven and microwave, subway tile backsplash, updated lighting, a large island with seating, and generous counter and storage space. The adjacent formal dining room provides an inviting setting for hosting, while additional living and sitting areas offer flexibility for relaxing or gathering. The home offers spacious bedrooms for privacy, including a primary suite on the first floor for convenience. Bathrooms have been beautifully renovated with luxurious finishes, allowing you to enjoy the character of a historic home with much of the important work already completed. Major updates include a new roof (2020), three HVAC units replaced in 2020, updated plumbing, and a remodeled kitchen and baths. Outdoor living continues in the backyard with a large brick patio and deck, surrounded by mature landscaping and anchored by the property's stunning oak tree, creating a peaceful retreat just moments from everything Summerville has to offer. Additional features include a two-car garage with workshop space, providing ample room for storage, hobbies, or projects. Historic charm, modern updates, and beautifully curated grounds come together to make this a rare opportunity to own a private retreat in one of Summerville's most desirable historic settings.
