Welcome to 402 N. Hickory St Summerville, South Carolina, 'Flowertown in the Pines' and the birthplace of sweet tea. This classic 1940s American cottage oozes with southern charm. Tucked just outside of the popular historic district, take a short stroll to downtown and Hutchinson Square, the nucleus of downtown Summerville. Or take a quick golf cart ride to all that Summerville has to offer. A bustling Main Street American town where activities, festivals, local events, restaurants, shops and artisans along with the historic Flowertown Theater, line the streets.Enjoy one of Summerville's favorite Saturday morning pastimes at the farmer's market and load up for the coming week on fresh vegetables, fruits, kettle cooked popcorn, beautiful flowers, homemade sweets and many other local foods and crafts. This home is in a small section of homes that was dubbed the Rainbow Row of Summerville many years ago for the colorful, quaint cottages that lined this part of North Hickory Street. Located right across the street from Doty Park where tennis, pickleball, and kids' laughter at the playground and splash pad fill the day. The park also offers picnic shelters, seasonal youth sports and weekly fitness classes. Rollins Edwards Community Center, attached to the park, has something for every age.

In addition, the Senior Center is nearby serving the community as the district polling site. Walk to vote! Covered in azaleas, pine trees and other native vegetation, Hickory Street exudes the area's southern heritage. A rich, rustic red adorns the exterior of this American dream home. The flagpole draped from the screened front porch puts the finishing touches on this patriotic cottage. The home's curb appeal will remind you of days gone by. Sit a spell on the porch swing and enjoy a glass of ice-cold sweet tea while admiring the beautiful mature lavender crepe myrtle that is a show stopper, maybe catch the sunset. Start your day enjoying your morning coffee on the quaint back porch while taking in the beautiful landscape...shade trees, flowering shrubs and a raised bed vegetable and flower garden. It's easy to see all the love and hard work the current owners have given this beautiful yard. The garden area itself is fenced in, inside the fully fenced yard, making it an ease to maintain and keeps the pups out. The property features a corner lot and is .25 acre+. This yard is amazing, you will not get this size lot in any of the new neighborhoods nor the plentiful, mature landscaping. Single garage with an area for a workshop or additional storage room. The grilling area is attached to the garage out back with a trellis and brick patio. In addition to parking your cars, no HOA allows you to have recreational vehicles, campers, boats, work vehicles, you name it. No restrictions! The original home was built in 1940, the kitchen, master and laundry were added years later. The sellers have done some updates since their ownership, renovating the kitchen and master bedroom and bath. They've preserved the historic feel of the home while bringing in modern style. The family room with fireplace, dining room and spacious kitchen, all open to one another, offers relaxed living for quality time with family and hosting friends. The floor plan is a modified split with a nice sized master bedroom on the back of the home and updated master bath. Barn doors offer access and privacy to the closet and bath, resonating the rustic charm you find throughout the home. The master bath has a walk in custom shower with glass doors and crisp white tile. A new vanity with marble tops, custom built linen closet with a tilt out laundry bin and ceramic tile complete this space. The secondary bedrooms are a nice size with windows that fill the rooms with light. In the front hallway, tucked between the guest rooms, is the original 1940s bathroom. The owners loved its vintage appeal, so they only updated the vanity and commode. Just off the kitchen and in the back of the home is the laundry room that allows access to the porch and backyard. It's spacious and offers great storage with a closet and cabinets above the washer and dryer. The washer and dryer are topped with a butcher block slab, making it easy to fold laundry and a convenient spot to stash laundry room necessities. With the exception of the laundry room, the two bathrooms and master closet, the homes floors are covered with the 1940s hardwood that has been refinished to its original beauty. A large kitchen island offers eat in dining and houses the propane gas stove. Hovering above is the stainless vent hood that ties in with the SS refrigerator and dishwasher. The island features a beautiful white veined quartz. The original counter that houses the sink, where you can take a peek outside, is finished with a custom-made butcher block countertop. The custom pantry cabinet is conveniently located to the right of the sink. Original bead board, repurposed from the interior walls, accent the wall behind the sink and displays more vintage charm. Easy living in the heart of Summerville offers more than I can explain. This home is a gem, you will want to see it for yourself. Schedule a showing today!
