Description

This stunning antebellum gem, spanning approximately 3,557 square feet, is situated in the heart of Summerville's Historic District. There's a cottage behind the home totaling 3,000 sq. Ft. of additional living space. Built in 1835, it exudes classic Lowcountry charm, from its inviting curb appeal to its thoughtfully designed floor plan, originally crafted for optimal ventilation.Upon entering from the spacious front porch, you are welcomed by a spacious central hallway that once extended the entire length of the home. Flanking the hallway are two rooms on each side, a design that allowed for excellent airflow in the era before air conditioning. This historic residence boasts original moldings, rich hardwood flooring, and multiple fireplaces, including those in the formal living room, formal dining room, and the primary downstairs bedroom. The primary suite, located at the front of the hallway, is bathed in natural light and features an en-suite bathroom complete with double sinks, a built-in vanity, and a shower. The formal living room seamlessly connects to a spacious office as well as the elegant dining room, an ideal space for hosting holiday gatherings and dinner parties. Across the hall, the breakfast room opens into a generously sized kitchen, which spans the entire rear of the home. With extensive cabinetry and storage, this kitchen is both functional and impressive. Upstairs, three (possibly four) additional spacious bedrooms provide ample living space. One of these bedrooms features an en-suite bathroom, making it a perfect secondary primary suitean uncommon feature in historic homes of this stature. A second full bathroom and a wide central hallway complete the upper level. Stepping outside, you'll find a beautifully paved brick patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining. A charming deck in one corner of the home offers views of one of Summerville's magnificent live oak trees. At the rear of the property, you'll find an exceptional 3,000-square-foot cottage, featuring 1,920 square feet on the main level and an additional 1,080 square feet upstairs, unfinished but fully heated and cooled. A spacious front porch enhances its charm, making it an ideal option for a family compound or potential rental income. Inside, the cottage is thoughtfully designed with a full kitchen, bathroom, and three additional bedrooms. Attached to the cottage, a generous workshop, currently utilized as an artist's studio, offers endless possibilities for customization. The upper level of the cottage provides a substantial unfinished area, perfect for storage or conversion into additional living space, with a mini-split HVAC system already installed. This exceptional property is just moments from Summerville's vibrant community events, renowned restaurants, boutique shops, healthcare facilities, entertainment venues, parks, sports courts, walking trails, and more.
