Laura Mixon (Betsy Kerrison's grandmother) and the Barshays are some who lived in this grand southern home built around the 1850s.

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.
