Ft. main house, plus a separate 650-square-foot carriage house with an additional bedroom and full bathroom. Set on nearly an acre just minutes from Historic Summerville, the property combines historic character, extensive renovations, and flexible living space.Originally serving as the gardener's cottage for the historic Tea Farm, the main house retains its original charm while benefiting from thoughtful updates.
