Overview
Historical records show the first people to inhabit Summerville arrived in 1680 but the area was not declared an official town until incorporated papers were file & approved by the state legislature in 1847. Summerville's charm was secured early on by visionaries who adopted one of the first tree ordinances in the U.S. Our streets wind gracefully around ancient trees and even today you will find a protected tree sitting right in the middle of a picturesque street as you tour through town. Recognized as the birth place of Sweet Tea, Summerville offers a lifestyle of southern elegance that has endured for over 150 years.This home is a great example of a southern estate with symmetrical layout, metal ribbed roof, projecting eaves, two over two double-hung sash windows, clapboard siding, sidelights at entry door and very wide porches. The home has been tastefully renovated to accommodate today's modern conveniences but the integrity of the floor plan and construction materials have been beautifully maintained. The Grand Foyer measures 12' Wide and 41' Deep with intricate crown molding & heart pine floors. Parlor on the Right and Office/Study on the Left flanking the Foyer are both 18' x 18' with Original Fireplaces, Heart Pine Flooring and 4 Double Doors opening onto the Wrap Around Porch.
