Tucked quietly at the end of a cul-de-sac right in the heart of Summerville sits a home with a story to tell.

Mature landscaping, generous parking, and a welcoming front porch create the kind of entrance that invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile. Inside, the character of the home shines at every turn. Original heart pine floors, 10-foot ceilings, and extensive crown molding and wainscoting reflect the craftsmanship of another era.The timber-frame construction with mortise-and-tenon joinery and original cypress siding speaks to the lasting quality of the structure itself. Natural light pours through the many windows, highlighting the rich tones of the historic woodwork and the thoughtful updates that blend seamlessly with the home's heritage.
