Priced at appraisal!Situated on nearly 1.5 acres, this remarkable estate is one of the oldest surviving homes in Summerville and has been lovingly maintained to preserve its historic character. Dating between 1796 and 1808, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Ancrum-Waring House and recognized as a significant contributor to the Summerville Historic District. Despite its central location in Downtown Summerville, the property feels almost secluded thanks to its deep lot, mature plantings, and gravel drive.As you enter, the tree-lined drive leads to a brick walkway and charming arbor, inviting you toward the deep and welcoming front porch, an ideal place to relax and take in your beautiful surroundings.Inside, the foyer opens to an expansive living area at the rear of the home, one of several rooms anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. French doors connect the living room to the massive formal dining room with built-ins, creating a perfect flow for hosting gatherings. Both the living and dining rooms feature soaring 13 ft. ceilings with picture rails.

The kitchen is spacious and bright, offering ample counter space with beautiful Carrara marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant storage, and vaulted ceilings. A breakfast nook surrounded by windows makes this an inviting place to prepare meals while enjoying views of the grounds.

The first-floor primary suite serves as a true retreat. A cozy wood-burning fireplace creates a warm seating area, while the en-suite bathroom includes a double-sink vanity. The suite also provides direct access to the deep and spacious back porch. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is a dedicated laundry space for added convenience.
