Description

This classic Lowcountry cottage, known as Whiteholm, is situated in the heart of Summerville's historic district. Built circa 1815, the home was named by New York socialite Miss Mary Trenholm. Following the 1886 earthquake, Summerville gained a reputation as a healthy retreat due to the pinelands' reputedly cleaner air and reduced airborne diseases. This ushered in the town's golden age, drawing affluent Northerners to establish seasonal residences.The name Whiteholm, derived from Gaelic, means ''the white meadow'' or ''the field of the sunbeam,'' reflecting the home's serene and welcoming ambiance. Though Miss Trenholm only resided in the house for a few years, its charming name endures.The property exudes historic charm with original 9-over-9 wavy glass windows, heart pine flooring, multiple fireplaces, and soaring 12-foot ceilings. The main level features a central hallway that opens to a series of cozy sitting rooms. The formal living room is a showstopper, with elegant arched ceilings, built-in bookcases, and a fireplace as its centerpiece. The sunlit formal dining room also includes an original mantle and an adjoining powder room. The kitchen and butler's pantry are a culinary dream, boasting a spacious island, and high-end stainless steel appliances. French doors provide access to the backyard, which is adorned with mature landscaping, grand oak trees, and an in-ground pool. The primary suite, part of a thoughtful 1990s addition, is a private retreat featuring multiple walk-in closets with built-in shelving, abundant natural light, and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom showcases vintage tilework, dual sinks, and a custom-tiled walk-in shower. The upper level of the home features five distinctively designed, light-filled bedrooms, each offering ample privacy and showcasing its own unique character. Original moldings enhance the charm of each room, while individual styles add to their appeal. One bedroom includes a fireplace, and another is complemented by a full en-suite bathroom. Additionally, a step-down area currently used as a bedroom offers versatile potential, easily convertible into a home office or a cozy reading nook. The expansive backyard is a true oasis, complete with an in-ground pool, a patio, a detached garage and carport with workshop potential, and lush, mature landscaping. Highlights include camellias, azaleas, fig trees, palmettos, and hollies, all nestled under the shade of majestic live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Notably, the property boasts Summerville's largest live oak, with an impressive 26-foot circumference. This meticulously designed home, showcased in multiple publications, gained widespread recognition through its prominent feature on Magnolia Network's Happy to Be Home with the Benkos. Whiteholm seamlessly combines historic charm with modern conveniences, creating a serene retreat steeped in rich history. Do not miss your chance to own a storied part of Summerville's history!
