About This Home

Charming, historic, and perfectly located--this beautifully restored cottage (c. 1903) sits in the heart of downtown Summerville, one of the Lowcountry's most sought-after areas. Originally the Phaeler family home, it was thoughtfully relocated and updated in 2015, blending timeless character with modern convenience.From the welcoming full front porch where you can sit and have your morning coffee enjoying the quiet and peaceful surroundings, to the preserved heart pine floors, this home is filled with warmth and authenticity. The main level features a bright living space with crown molding, a custom staircase, and a dedicated dining room with built-ins.The updated kitchen is designed for both function and style, offering granite countertops, farmhouse sink, large island, under cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, a premium gas range with 5 burners, griddle, double oven & built-in rotisserie, and rear door leading to deck and backyard.

Step outside to a rare backyard retreat--featuring a stunning camellia collection believed to be among the oldest in downtown Summerville, creating a truly unique and serene setting. The fireplace in the master bedroom gives sensation of warmth and relaxation and is intended for decorative purposes only. Master bath is a perfect picture with above counter basin mounted on a buffet cabinet, clawfoot tub and separate tiled shower.

Upstairs, a versatile loft area provides an additional living space, along with two bedrooms, and attic access doors for added storage.

Located just steps from shops, dining, parks, and the charm that defines Summerville as "Flowertown in the Pines," this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a premier location.
