Property Description
The formal dining room sits just off the foyer and features hardwood flooring, crown molding, chair railing, and wainscoting, with direct access to both the kitchen and adjoining breakfast area.
The kitchen is spacious and designed with plenty of room for cooking, storage, and gathering. White cabinetry is paired with granite countertops and a tiled backsplash, while an oversized L-shaped island provides extensive workspace, storage, and bar seating beneath a trio of pendant lights. Additional features include dual wall ovens, under-cabinet lighting, recessed lighting, soft-close drawers, glass-front accent cabinetry, and a built-in desk and storage area that works well as a household command center. An adjoining eat-in area offers space for a full-size table and is surrounded by multiple windows overlooking the property.
At the center of the home is a large living room with a high vaulted ceiling, dual ceiling fans, hardwood flooring, and custom built-in cabinetry spanning one wall with extensive shelving, closed storage, and a dedicated media center. A gas fireplace with a trimmed mantel and marble surround anchors the opposite side of the room and is open on both sides, serving the living room as well as the adjoining sunroom.
French doors on either side of the fireplace open into the sunroom, creating an easy connection between the two living spaces. The sunroom stretches across the rear of the home and features tile flooring, dual ceiling fans, abundant windows, and its own view of the double-sided fireplace. With direct access to the rear entry on one end and the primary suite on the other, the room also provides a useful secondary path through the home.
The rear entry serves as a practical drop zone between the interior, carport, garage, and patio. From here, there is direct access to the kitchen, sunroom, laundry room, pantry, and a full bathroom. The nearby laundry room includes tile flooring, a window, and substantial upper cabinetry for storage. The full bathroom includes a large vanity, tub/shower combination with a clerestory window above, and a distinctive patterned wallcovering that gives the space a more finished, custom feel.
The bedroom wing is arranged along the opposite side of the home. Two secondary bedrooms each feature ceiling fans and large closets and share convenient access to a full bathroom with tile flooring, an L-shaped dual-sink vanity, and a tub/shower combination with a transom window above.
The primary suite is generously sized with a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, and a large recessed window alcove. The adjoining bathroom offers two walk-in closets, a large double vanity, separate walk-in shower with dual shower heads, water closet, and a jetted garden tub positioned beneath a broad window overlooking the landscaped yard.
Outside, a spacious courtyard-style patio extends across the rear of the home and provides multiple areas for outdoor dining, seating, and entertaining. Mature landscaping and established hedges help define the space, while an adjoining oversized covered carport adds considerable flexibility. In addition to sheltered parking for multiple vehicles, the covered area can function as additional outdoor living or entertaining space. An attached single-car garage provides additional parking, storage, or workshop space.
A smaller fenced area immediately behind the patio provides a convenient enclosed yard, but it represents only a portion of the property. Beyond it, the lot continues deep behind the home, opening into a substantial stretch of lawn framed by mature trees and rows of sawtooth oaks. A second fenced area is located at the rear of the property. The aerial photographs make the scale of the 2-acre parcel particularly evident and help illustrate how much usable property remains beyond the immediate backyard.
The acreage may also provide an unique opportunity for future use. The property is currently zoned R-1(A)_DC, and the rear portion has approximately 15 feet of potential access to Rodeman Road, which connects to Central Avenue. This configuration may offer the potential to subdivide the rear portion of the property and create an additional homesite with its own access rather than sharing the existing driveway from W Butternut Road. Buyers should independently verify zoning, subdivision requirements, access, utilities, and intended use with the appropriate governing authorities.
The sellers also commissioned engineered and stamped plans for a future pool and pool house designed for the property. Those plans, along with the home's original construction plans, will convey with the sale and provide a starting point for a buyer interested in further developing the outdoor space.
Additional improvements include a new roof installed in 2024 with CertainTeed Landmark shingles, replacement 6-inch gutters in 2024, a new exterior sunroom door in 2024, and a new large picture window in the primary bathroom in 2024. The home also features a raised slab foundation, 9-foot-or-higher ceilings, 3-foot-wide doorways throughout, and a tankless water heater.
With its custom single-level floor plan, generous interior spaces, full front porch, established landscaping, extensive outdoor living areas, and two acres offering possibilities rarely found this close to downtown Summerville, 179 W Butternut Road combines a well-maintained home with room for what may come next.
