Property Description
Restored and charming 1903 Cottage in the historic district of Summerville! Summerville is known as Flowertown in the Pines and has the small town charm of a Southern city, yet large enough with everyday conveniences of shopping, dining, and medical. It is found on a quiet street close enough to walk to dinner, shopping, festivals, schools, and more. Originally built by the Phaeler family on Cedar Street, this picturesque home underwent a meticulous relocation to South Gum Street in 2015. A comprehensive restoration followed, preserving historical details. It hosts the character of old but lives like new with fully updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC, foundation, roof, etc. The interior showcases original wood ceilings in the foyer, family, and dining rooms.The first-level wood floors has just been refinished by a local specialist.
Two first-floor walls were expertly removed to fashion a spacious central staircase leading to second-floor bedrooms. Throughout the home, wooden-trimmed thermal pane windows accentuate its classic appeal.
The open floor plan welcomes you with a foyer flanked by the family room and dining room. The kitchen boasts old-world charm featuring 42" cabinets, crown molding, tile backsplash, granite counters, cast iron sink, and rear deck access.
The family room fireplace is gas-plumbed for vent-less logs.
The master bedroom and full bath are located on the main floor. Enjoy cozy nights with a decorative fireplace in your master retreat.
The second floor offers flexibility with an open loft space, perfect for an in-home office or sitting area and two additional bedrooms.
Newly refinished hardwoods grace the main floor, while a custom hardwood staircase and engineered hardwood flooring adorn the second level.
Outside, the full front porch accommodates two sitting areas, enjoy playing cards or dining. The rear yard hosts an abundance of mature Camellia plants and offers privacy and potential expansion of the house or build a garage. The lot is deep with .5 acre total.
This home has an elevated high crawlspace making inspections, maximizing air circulation, and maintenance easy for the future owner. Other features to mention are a standing seam metal roof and fresh interior and exterior paint.
