Overview

Situated on 1.67 acres in the heart of Historic Summerville, this magnificent late nineteenth century retreat has been upgraded with modern luxuries while maintaining the historical integrity of the home. More than $200K worth of improvements have been made to the home by the current owner, including a new roof, full electrical rewiring, new plumbing, updated insulation, and new energy-efficient mini splits. The gated drive opens onto the expansive grounds embellished by live oaks and blooming azaleas, all of which have been recently pruned, fertilized and treated for protection by Bartlett's Tree Company. Additionally, lightning rods have been added to three of the oaks to protect them during southern summer storms. The foyer is adorned by hardwood floors and Tiffany style chandeliers. Original heart of pine floors, gas fireplaces and sun-drenched windows imbue the formal dining and living rooms with historic charm and a welcoming atmosphere. The chef's kitchen is a true gourmet's dream, with double ovens and a 5 burner gas range, stainless steel appliances, a center island and granite countertops throughout. The spacious butler's pantry will delight those intent on entertaining, while the adjacent breakfast nook provides a respite from such merriment, ideal for enjoying morning coffee and views of the grounds from the Juliet balcony. The master suite features a gas fireplace and two expansive walk-in closets, while the en suite bathroom boasts a whirlpool tub, shower, and double vanity sinks. The main level includes three bedrooms that each have their own full bath, as well as a rear entrance that opens onto a covered veranda that overlooks the saltwater pool and hot tub. The manicured grounds include a gazebo, small picnic area, and garden beds. The rear lawn also features a private gated entrance to Laurel Street Park, which sits directly behind the property and is prized in the neighborhood for its playground and tennis courts. The home's lower level includes a mother-in-law's suite of approximately 1900 square feet, with spacious living room, efficiency kitchen, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, an office, and a one-car garage. Extensive renovations on this home include a new roof, full electrical rewiring, new plumbing, updated insulation, and new energy-efficient mini splits. A full interior and exterior paint freshening was recently completed, along with the new privacy fence that surrounds the property. This sublime Southern retreat is within walking distance to the dining and shopping offered by downtown Summerville, and only a half hour from downtown Charleston and the surrounding beaches. For those with young children, this home is zoned for Dorchester District 2 schools, one of the best districts in the tri-county area. Don't miss this opportunity to own your own historic enclave with all of the modern furnishings of a custom-built home.
