Looking for secret doors, hidden passageways, a chef's kitchen, and more, all within walking distance to downtown Summerville? Then we have the perfect home for you. The owners have spent the last 8+ years painstakingly restoring, curating, custom building and designing every single square inch of this classic original "four square" historic home. Built in 1912 and rebuilt in 2017, this 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath 2500+ sf home is sitting on a large corner lot with a quaint fence and has all of the parks and restaurants within short walking distance. The first floor boasts 10' ceilings and beautiful woodwork throughout. Built-ins are everywhere and so are clever hidden passageways, hidey holes, and hand-picked touches. Even the doors in the new side were reclaimed from a church school in downtown Charleston on Rutledge. Enter the front gate and you are greeted with a charming early 1900s southern porch with a huge original transom surrounded glass front entry door. The large formal entry welcomes you and there is an office/guest room and half bath to the right. Continue through to the living room with gorgeous pine beadboard ceilings and floor to ceiling built-ins. Now enter the massive chef's kitchen and dining room. A pot filler adorns the wall above the Viking 36" range and hood. The centerpiece is a huge full slab of timeless gray white natural stone. A dry/coffee bar flanks the dining room on the way to the giant laundry room. The first-floor primary bedroom is next door and the primary bathroom boasts Calcutta gold marble and an oversized double shower. Upstairs, you will find a great flex space, an en-suite bedroom, and two bedrooms with jack and hill bathroom. Rest easy in the tree bed in the front bedroom. With secret doors and fun things hidden in every room, you will never find another home like it. You will also be hard pressed to find another home in better condition for the 112 years that this home has been standing: new hvac in 2017, new upstairs hvac July 2024, new old side roof August 2024, plumbing 2017, electrical 2017, windows 2017, fully restored 2016-2024. It is a new home with great detail given to make it feel like a cohesive 1912 home. The owners paid very close attention to restoring this home for themselves, but they are ready for someone else to write their chapter in the book of this home.
