Classic architectural features, symmetrical forms and graceful proportions give this home an elegant sense of refinement that calls to mind the genteel lifestyles of the past while the appropriate and careful restoration and renovation allows for modern, efficient and comfortable living. Situated on a quiet acre corner lot in the scenic and desired Historic District of Summerville- 110 S Hickory Street is just blocks from Town Square (shopping, restaurants, Farmers' Market) and Azalea Park (a 16 acre scenic landscaped park with ponds, sculptures, winding walking trails, tennis courts, and home to the annual Flowertown Festival). Laura Mixon (Betsy Kerrison's grandmother) and the Barshays are some who lived in this grand southern home built around the 1850s. The current ownersrecently received an award from the Summerville Preservation Society for their meticulous restoration while they also adapted the open floor plan to include a kitchen fit for a gourmet chef, a family friendly great room, his and her bathrooms and walk-in closets adjacent to the downstairs master bedroom, etc. The double front door of this home on the National Historic Register opens to a stunning grand center foyer with soaring 14' ceilings, pine floors and beautiful crown molding. The parlor/library/study is on the left and the formal living room is on the right. The formal dining room is behind the living room. Massive panel doors separate these two rooms. French doors in all of these rooms open to the gracious wrap around porch where your family and friends can sit, visit and enjoy the nice southern breezes! The handsome staircase to the second floor brings you to three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Two detached 2 car garages were designed with wood exteriors and metal roofs to compliment the home. (There is an opportunity for a FROG with both.) Between the garages is a large private brick courtyard and a gazebo with a cooker for more outdoor entertaining opportunities. The meticulous work by current owners also includes the installation of an iron and brick fence with two driveway gates, custom made cabinetry, adjustment of door handles/locks, security system, exterior paint with hand sanding, upgraded insulation, gutters, roof maintenance, etc. Summerville is ideal location, offering a ""Town and Country"" lifestyle with nearby plantations and gardens, downtown Charleston, area beaches and lakes, and CHS airport, all within easy driving distance.
