SPECTACULAR Historic Home with quintessential Southern Charm! From the white picket fence to the wraparound porch & red metal roof, this home EXUDES Character from the moment you lay eyes on it. The porch, yard & pool are the reason sweet tea was invented...so you can unwind, relax & abide in the dream of true Southern living. Built circa 1880 & known as ''The Kennedy House'', this home is on the National Register of Historic Places. Inside, be WOWED by refinished heart pine flooring, remodeled kitchen, remodeled master suite, new HVAC & ductwork & new PEX plumbng. This is a rare find that simply cannot be outdone by modern homes. Not only that, but you also can't beat the LOCATION! All of Summerville's soul is a quick stroll away - from Town Square to Azalea Park to the Farmer's Market...This is the first home ever purchased and completely restored by the Summerville Preservation Society (in 1979). It has also been LOVINGLY updated and cared for by the current owners. Besides the refinished floors, remodeled kitchen & master suite, new PEX plumbing and the fresh interior paint, the exterior has also been recently repainted, an all new HVAC unit and ductwork has been installed and the yard was completely re-sodded. Surrounded by hardwood trees like magnolias, river birches, oaks and dogwoods and flowering plants like azaleas and camellias - there is plenty of nature to admire & enjoy.3200 sprawling Square Feet of space awaits your family. 4 bedrooms with a possible 5th bedroom (that is currently being used as a living space) are matched with 3 full baths plus an extra half bath. Step into the welcoming foyer and feel instantly at home. To the left is a fantastic room that could serve as a formal living room, an office or your home school class! To your right is the front bedroom.The front bedroom has it's own half bath plus a shower/tub combo. The shower/tub is shared with an additional half bath on the other side that is accessible from the potential 5th bedroom. This front bedroom would make a spectacular mother-in-law suite or BNB rental as it has it's own private access to the front porch.Two additional (and absolutely adorable) bedrooms are located upstairs and share a full bath that features an antique claw foot tub!The master suite is located at the rear of the home and provides separation from all other bedrooms and living areas. It features plenty of space with a cozy sitting area. The master also has its own access to the back yard and pool.One of the most amazing spaces is the old porch converted into a sunroom/office space. The wall of windows lets in oodles of light and makes for a remarkably peaceful space to work or hang out.The kitchen is spacious, filled with cabinetry and features a perfect breakfast nook to enjoy. Wood countertops compliment a vintage skirt sink and help create a classic feel. A built-in island with granite top provides extra prep space or a fun place to sit & eat!The outdoor spaces of this home are simply a dream. The wraparound porch features a classic porch swing on one end, multiple sitting areas and a swinging bed on the other end! Enjoy coffee in the morning, rocking in the afternoon and be careful not to fall asleep out there for the evening (or, maybe that's a great plan)!The side yard is a perfect place to enjoy family time or entertain guests. Plus, there's still the amazing, wonderfully landscaped, fully-fenced back yard that features a swimming pool, brick deck, hammock, storage shed and cool evening shade!There really is no other home like this anywhere! It is one of a kind and waiting to fulfil your dreams.
