Listing details for 107 S Magnolia St, Summerville, SC 29483 : Small price on a large home in the historic district. Easy walk to shops, dining, theater, and Sawmill Branch recreation trail. Walking distance to Azalea Park and Summerville Elementary School. Beautiful Post-Bellum home that predates even Summerville's Golden Age of Inns. Family members believe this circa 1880's structure may have been a part of a hotel complex that served travelers on the Charleston to Hamburg Railroad line. Many of the design and exterior architectural details mirror the adjacent property, which at one time was definitely a hotel.House boasts inviting piazzas on both floors, each with traditional Charleston "Haint Blue" ceiling paint. Access the top piazza from two of the three upstairs bedrooms. The view along this quiet stretch of Magnolia Street is towards town. Very traditional 1880's design with wide entry hallway flanked by formal spaces to either side. Heart Pine floors in halls, formal living and formal dining rooms. There are fireplaces in the living room that have gone unused for quite some time. Could potentially be restored to wood-burning or converted to gas logs. Kitchen, den and bedroom with full bath including walk-in shower complete the downstairs. Appliances are all dated but working at time of listing. Beautiful wooden staircase with newel posts and spindles that may have been hand-turned. Upstairs plan is similar to downstairs with wide hall. Master bedroom and bath is on one end and has access to the upper piazza. Third bedroom, laundry room and shared bath are along the back of the house. All three upstairs bedrooms are quite large and have room for sitting areas along with bedroom furnishings. This is a must-see. Large lot is mostly cleared but had lots of "Summerville plants" along the borders. House sits close to the street, so back yard is very large and could be utilized to build a garage or guest house. There is a shed at the back of the property. The house has unbeatable location, charming history, and many fine details, but it does need updating and improving. It is livable and comfortable now, but would be exquisite if right buyer gets it and brings it into the 21st century.
