Description : Built in 1890 for Susan Police, the historic Police-Anderson-Ivey Home originally stood adjacent to Rollins Elementary School at 807 South Main Street.
Built in 1890 for Susan Police, the historic Police-Anderson-Ivey Home originally stood adjacent to Rollins Elementary School at 807 South Main Street. Though Victorian in style, the home's layout reflects the practical design of early Lowcountry houses built before the days of air conditioning. A wide central hall, accessed through beautiful double front doors with original glass, is flanked by two rooms on each side to encourage natural airflow throughout the home. Pocket doors can be closed to separate the living and dining rooms or opened to create an expansive space for entertaining.Set on nearly half an acre, the home offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and five fireplaces throughout. A welcoming full front porch spans the façade, while the screened-in back porch provides a peaceful place to overlook the property. The detached two-car garage adds both convenience and functionality to this remarkable historic residence.
Currently configured as two separate living spaces, the downstairs portion of the home features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Upstairs, a separate apartment with its own private entrance and driveway includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, kitchen, and living area, with one bathroom serving as an ensuite to the primary bedroom. This flexible layout presents an excellent opportunity for an income producing property or could easily be converted back into a single-family residence.
The home retains many of its original features, including hardwood floors, baseboards, doors, and the tongue and groove walls and ceilings in the central hall. Corner fireplaces in the downstairs rooms once provided warmth during the winter months, while the pocket doors also helped retain heat when closed.
The Anderson family purchased the home in 1936 and lovingly cared for it into the 1980s. In 1990, the Ivey family purchased the property under the condition that the house would be relocated, which is why it now stands on East 4th South Street today. Their dedication to preserving and restoring the home earned them an award from the Summerville Preservation Society in 1993 for their contribution to the Historic District of Summerville.
Having been owned by only three families since its construction, the Police-Anderson-Ivey Home now awaits its fourth steward to bring this extraordinary property into its next chapter. More than just a home, it is an opportunity to own and preserve a meaningful piece of Summerville's history.
