123 W Carolina Ave, Summerville, SC 29483

1930's(ish) cottage in the heart of historic district. Very private lot fronts West Carolina Ave, but also has access to property from Hansberry Lane at the rear. Walk or bike from home to downtown shopping and restaurants without crossing a major street. From the entry, cozy sitting room at front leads to dining room and private family room in one wing. Family room has built-in book cases and access to HUGE screened porch and hard-scaped sitting and fire pit area outside. You will want to be outdoors year round with this setup. Galley kitchen has granite countertops, stainless Kenmore refrigerator and gas range. Downstairs has three bedrooms and an office that could be a fourth bedroom or nursery. Upstairs is another bedroom (original vintage bedroom sink is still in place. That detail, and the "phone nook" in the downstairs hall are the kinds of things that show this home to be older than the 1972 indicated in tax records.) There is a second room upstairs that does not have a closet, but is large enough for bedroom furniture. Most likely use would be for a den, another office etc.. There is also a unique half-bath tucked into the gable end of the upstairs hall.House features great wood floors through most of the home. Master bedroom is at rear of the home overlooking the grounds and is very private. Master bath has very nice walk-in shower.You might want to change a color or do some cosmetic upgrades to the house to suit your taste, but the heavy-lifting is already done for you.
