Overview
Have you wondered why Summerville is called the birth place of Sweet Tea? Have you imagined owning a piece of SC history? In fact a piece of our nations history? 205 Tea Farm Road is your chance. Welcome to this agricultural monument, the charming gardener's home in historic Tea Farm. According to historians the Pinehurst Tea Farm was the country's first commercially viable tea farm. Over the years many famous people came to see the beautiful plantation with exotic plants that had been brought in from China and India. Among those people who came to admire the beautiful farm were Presidents William Taft and Teddy Roosevelt. Today this little farm cottage, on almost a full acre and just a couple minutes from downtown Summerville, has been tastefully renovated to exemplifythe home in a way that preserves its historic feeling while adding the modern conveniences that we all hope for as well. The original wood floors and fireplace have been refurnished to show their true beauty. An adorable half bath has been added downstairs to round out the open kitchen and dining room. The family room leads to the full primary bedroom with en suite bath or upstairs to the other two bedrooms and bathroom. Also on the impressive property is a good sized, open concept one bedroom/ one bathroom carriage house with a full kitchen, perfect for guests or extended stay family. 205 Tea Farm Road is a rare opportunity for someone who truly values being a part of our loved and valued Summerville history. Pull up a chair, have a cup of sweet tea, and make yourself at home:)
