JUST REDUCED $50,000!!! PRICED BELOW APPRAISAL! LOVELY HOME SECLUDED ON 2.3 ACRES IN HISTORIC HICKORY VALLEY! Nestled among the ancient Live Oaks, Pecan,& Magnolia trees rests one of the most beautiful homes in Walterboro! Built on a high brick foundation and in the Pineland Village-style, the Perry-Smoak-Lubs house was constructed of long leaf pine with weatherboarding and hand-hewed timber.The home was built by James Glover circa 1814 for N.Y. Perry, a rice planter, who used it for a summer cottage and whose family still owned it during the Civil War. It is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. A "window to the past" was left in the basement where the signatures of Confederate soldiers documented the years of their stay, taking refuge from the summer heat. Owners in the 1930's made the grounds a veritable garden of Camellias and Azaleas, which still adorn the property today! Enter the estate through the Porte-Cochere; then, as you walk up the wide steps of this home, you will feel yourself transported to another time, a time of gracious living and wonderful southern hospitality! The front porch that extends across the entire expanse of the home welcomes you with its unique two central doorways, one leading into the formal parlor and one into the grand dining room, separated with huge original pocket doors. With 12 foot ceilings and original, gleaming, heart of pine floors, each of these period rooms feature matching original fireplaces (equipped with gas logs) that captivate you while visiting and dining with friends and family! The ambiance of the grand dining room is unsurpassed, augmented by the lovely chandelier, original chair rail, and 9 over 9 windows. The rest of the home has been updated for your convenience with a bright, modern kitchen, complete with adjoining pantry and laundry room, that is open to the warm, wood paneled family room. Hand hewn wooden exposed beams in the vaulted ceiling add to the warmth as do the built in bookcases. The restful comfort of this room is also enhanced by the view of the expansive landscape afforded by the four floor to ceiling windows! Step out onto the deck through one of them to fully enjoy! Just down the hall, your very spacious master bedroom is pleasant and inviting with a soft blue palette, set off by white chair rail and wooden shutters, multiple closets and a huge master bath with both tub and separate shower. Downstairs, there is an additional great room with a brick hearth fireplace(equipped with a wood stove) that also opens with one of the four matching windows onto the brick covered patio. Another master bedroom with matching built-in bookcases and window seat is downstairs, as well as a third bedroom featuring the exposed wooden beams. Extensive storage under the entire front of the home is attractively enclosed in white lattice. This lovely estate has to be experienced to be appreciated! Call and arrange for your own private viewing! ADDITIONAL PICTURES AVAILABLE!
