Description

Stepping from Sumter Ave through a charming gate that depicts the home beyond it, you'll find a quintessential Summerville beauty. Built around 1890, this historic gem oozes curb appeal with its full front porch, historical details, and mature landscaping.The interior features a central hallway that runs the length of the home. Off of the main hallway to the left is the spacious formal living room which features a beautiful fireplace, moldings, and gleaming hardwood flooring. There are four rooms used as bedrooms with two full bathrooms shared between them. There's an additional room that was utilized as an office but it could easily be used as another bedroom or library, play room, media room, etc.There is a sun room off of the room used an office and a screened-in porch at the rear of the home. The cozy kitchen is functional but could really shine with renovations that brought out the full potential of the space. There is a large walk-in pantry and dining room off of the kitchen. There is access to stairs leading to a second level that is used as storage currently, this could potentially be converted to additional living space with a proper staircase and remodel (not counted in sq footage). While renovations will be needed, this could be a true gem in the historic district of Summerville. With nearly an acre of land, a detached two car garage (1063 sq ft), carport, and a cottage (587 sq ft currently rented month to month), this could be a showstopper of a property with the right buyer. The property is zoned for Dorchester District II schools and is within close proximity to restaurants, art galleries, boutique shops, many parks, walking trails, a country club where memberships are available to the public, Historic Charleston, area beaches, and large employers like Boeing, Volvo, Bosch, and Google. The property is being sold strictly as-is with pre-inspection and CL-100 already in hand. Do not miss your chance to put your stamp on this piece of local history!
