Description : Perhaps the 2nd oldest home in Summerville, the historic Ancrum-Waring House dates between 1796 and 1808 and is recognized in the National Registry as a significant contributor to the Summerville Historic District.

Perhaps the 2nd oldest home in Summerville, the historic Ancrum-Waring House dates between 1796 and 1808 and is recognized in the National Registry as a significant contributor to the Summerville Historic District. Centrally located and situated on an almost 1.5 acres, the home provides easy town convenience with walkability to town shops, restaurants and Hutchinson Square, but with a secluded private lot not often found in town. 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).The living room leads to the large back porch and grounds. French doors connect the living room to the massive formal dining room with custom built-ins, creating a perfect flow for hosting large 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, two sink areas, 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 Japanese Maple and Plum tree. The first-floor primary suite (21x15) 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 screened back porch. Adjacent to the primary bedroom is a dedicated laundry space for added convenience. Also on the main level is a generously sized guest suite with its own private bathroom, offering comfort and privacy for visitors. A formal sitting room to the right of the foyer (complete with another fireplace) would make an excellent office, library, or playroom. Upstairs, two very spacious bedrooms share a full bathroom and offer plenty of privacy. Additional upstairs spaces include a billiards room (or possible 5th bedroom) and a living area/ media room perfect for movie nights, quiet reading, or recreational enjoyment. Flooded with natural light and showcasing stunning heart pine floors throughout, this historic home blends timeless charm with ample living space. It has been lovingly updated and maintained to preserve the character of its origins. Outdoor features include two deep porches (one screened), brick walkways, a garden area with a small pond, and mature landscaping (including azaleas, camellias, tea olives, crape myrtles, and a 200 year+ live oak 16 ft in circumference) with plenty of room to enjoy Summerville's mild seasons. The property is home to abundant wildlife, and the owners have maintained a well balanced flora and fauna. Nature is present in every window making it feel a bit like a treehouse in the middle of everything. Don't miss the opportunity to own a true estate property with immense curb appeal in the heart of Historic Summerville. Walk, bike, or take a golf cart to Short Central or Hutchinson Square for endless opportunities to dine, shop, and enjoy your new hometown.
