Welcome to this exceptional residence, a true embodiment of Summerville's charm, grace, and rich history.

Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to the town square, the beloved Timrod Library, historic churches, local parks, numerous boutiques, dining, and the lively Greenwave football stadium. Whether it's community festivals or peaceful strolls through town, this home places you at the center of Summerville's most cherished attractions.

Stepping through the front door, you're greeted by the warmth of history with the original transom and antique window panes.

This thoughtfully crafted home provides an ideal balance of privacy and open spaces for gatherings.

Lovingly cared for by the same family for over 60 years, this home has been a place of joy and cherished memories. Now, it's ready to offer the same sense of belonging to its next fortunate owner looking to renovate and put their own stamp on history.

The house was originally a simple structure with a central hallway flanked by two rooms on each side, along with front and back porches. When Mr. William Lanneau acquired the property around 1900, he enhanced it with two rounded turrets on the porch and incorporated additional Victorian architectural elements, making it one of the last surviving examples in Summerville. Part of the rear porch was enclosed to create a kitchen, and a section of the central hallway was converted into a spacious living area. Historically known as the Lanneau House, the property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Summerville Historic District. Listed at recently appraised price, home being sold as-is.
