Have you ever wanted to own a piece of SA history and also have an investment. This property is a wonderful opportunity for Airbnb with the main home and the back one. The tiny home was rented out at $700 on a month for extra income before or use it for guests. The quoted Sq. Ft. does not include the tiny home. More than 20 years ago, the current owners set out in search of a historic home-one with good bones, timeless character, and a soul that spoke to them. From the moment they stepped through the doors, they knew instantly they had found the one. The soaring ceilings seemed to breathe with history, the longleaf pine floors added warmth and character, and the charming quirks-such as a hallway that once served as the original back porch-captured their imagination. Unlike so many homes that lose their essence to quick flips, this one had been lovingly preserved. The owners fell in love not only with the house, but also with its setting. The backyard stretches wide and is shaded by graceful trees that invite gatherings. As artists and dreamers, they saw a canvas waiting to be filled and, over the years, made thoughtful upgrades while honoring the home's original character. It now awaits it new owners to make it into their own. An artsy tiny house was added to the backyard and served as a home for a mother-in-law for several years. Additional updates included painted interiors, an ample screened porch added to the main house, and countless other improvements made over two decades of ownership. Thier hope is that those who walk through its doors will feel the same spark-a sense of being welcomed home by something larger than themselves-and will cherish it just as deeply. There is access off the back street as well.
