About this home
RARE DOWNTOWN SUMMERVILLE OPPORTUNITY! Set on a .97 acres in Historic Downtown Summerville, this classic brick ranch offers a combination that's hard to find: 2,902 square feet of stated living space, an additional 839 square feet in the walk-out basement, commercial zoning, and an existing short-term rental permit.Step inside to a proper foyer with a formal dining room to the left and one of TWO PRIMARY SUITES to the right. One of the standout features of this home is its DUAL PRIMARY BEDROOMS, each generously oversized and complete with its own private en-suite bathroom--ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or simply having more space and privacy. In fact, ALL of the bedrooms throughout the home are impressively oversized, offering a scale rarely found in newer construction.
The kitchen sits at the center of the home, connecting the surrounding living and entertaining spaces and making it a natural gathering point. The spacious Family/Game Room flows into a separate study or den featuring built-in bookshelves, a second wood-burning fireplace, and one unforgettable detail--a SECRET BOOKCASE. You'll have to see what's behind it for yourself.
Then there's something you almost never find in the Lowcountry--a WALK-OUT BASEMENT. Offering approximately 839 additional square feet with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a large entertaining area, this level adds tremendous flexibility to the property. Because the basement ceiling height is just under seven feet, it is not included in the home's stated 2,902 square feet of living space.
And the possibilities extend beyond the home itself. The property is ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL USE and is ALREADY PERMITTED FOR SHORT-TERM RENTAL, creating a compelling opportunity for an owner-occupant, investor, or buyer exploring potential business or income-producing uses, subject to applicable regulations and approvals.
All of this sits on just shy of a FULL ACRE within walking distance of the Harris Teeter shopping district, minutes from the shops, restaurants, and charm of Historic Downtown Summerville, and within the Dorchester District Two school system.

This isn't your typical Downtown Summerville property--and that's exactly the point....
