This low-country home was originally built in the early 1900's and then later moved and erected on a new brick foundation. At that time, new energy efficient windows and steel doors were installed. The interior was gutted, with new electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation, and drywall. It's the best of both worlds - the charm of an older home, that has been brought into the 21st century. It has weathered countless storms and still stands strong and solid because of the way it was built. This property features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a wainscoted front room that could be a formal dining room, an office, or a music room. The large family room is vaulted with beamed ceilings, featuring walls of windows front and back to enjoy the abundant wooded views. A gas fireplace is lovely on cool days. Original wood floors throughout, with ceramic tile in the master bath and no-wax linoleum in the secondary bath. Kitchen also has high ceilings and was recently updated with a Bosch dishwasher and built in microwave and disposal. The original hand crafted kitchen cabinets are amazing, with one entire wall featuring the old glass inserts in the cabinet doors. Original hand made butcher block counter tops finish out this beautiful kitchen full of true character from a by gone era. The master bathroom was recently remodeled with a new hardwood vanity with marble top and under mount sink. The new lights and recessed medicine cabinet mirror make this updated look clean and crisp. Original master closet wasn't big enough for current owners so they installed his and hers closets with sliding mirrored doors in a secondary bedroom. Bedrooms and bathrooms have the low country ceilings as was the custom before central heat and AC. Crown molding highlights almost every room. The most alluring part of this home is the huge screened back porch - more than 600 square feet - that wraps around and over looks the backyard full of fruit trees, towering oaks, holly, and pines. A chicken coop is close by for fresh eggs every day. The porch is even big enough for a ping pong table on one end. When it was moved the home was situated on the property so the screened porch could overlook the yard, but that is the prettiest side with graceful brick steps leading up into the house. A 330' deep Artesian well is on the property for watering grass and garden but also city water and sewer are hooked up. A shingled wooden storage shed is in the side yard to store lawn mower and tools. The entire 2 acres are surrounded with a 6.5' fence with double rows of electrified wire to keep out chicken stealing varmints and other critters. There are five gates in the fencing for easy access. The driveway also features a locking gate. The very large laundry room with work sink and room for another refrigerator or freezer is outfitted with a doggie door so your furry friends can come and go as they need to. Home is surrounded by trees and thicket and is extremely private. Neighbors are terrific and watch out for one another. Imagine yourself sitting out on the screened porch swing with a cold drink, listening to the whippoorwill each night. Peace and quiet is available here with true country living at its finest. Owner is a licensed SC Realtor. Excluded: Chandelier over dining room table and video doorbell.
