One of Pine Midst Cottage's most distinctive features is its surviving secondary structure. While relatively few historic homes retain their original outbuildings, this property still has its former stable, later converted to a studio in 1951. The building retains its original brick floors and an exceptional original door and now serves as a separate guest house overlooking the garden. The detached stable serves as a great guest home but could function as a rental unit offering two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a kitchen.
The established and a private garden creates a peaceful sense of retreat while remaining close to all that downtown Summerville has to offer. Pine Midst Cottage is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Summerville history that has been thoughtfully cared for and is ready for its next chapter.
