It is a great day here in Summerville. And I say that not because of the weather, but because I get to showcase this beautiful historical property here. We believe it to be built around 1880, 1890 timeframe. It is old and it is full of character. The reason we don't know the exact age is because our records here in [inaudible] County for these very old types of houses, we don't actually have those original records, so we don't know the exact age. What we do know is that it has been well maintained, and I will showcase it here in just a minute. I'm also going to be here from 10:00 to 12:00 today. The address, 411 South Magnolia. I mean, how more southern can you get from that address?

But it is here literally in downtown Summerville. And you can walk to shopping, dining, different... Say Thursday, there's a theater right here in downtown Summerville. The Flower Town Festival is just a block away. So all of that can be at your fingertips by owning this house. It's being sold furnished too, and an interior designer actually owns it, so it is a showpiece. It's really well done. So anyways, we'll go inside here in a minute.

As a quick market update, we've had a little dip in our interest rate, [inaudible] holding pretty steady right now. The market has been doing well this past week. We've had good sales. Not, again, what we had last year, but nonetheless they have been good sales. Zero short sales and foreclosures [inaudible] the region, and I am speaking through all of the Charleston MLS. Zero of our sales were foreclosures or short sales, bank owned properties. That speaks volumes if you want to know [inaduible] when we were back in 2008, 2009, 2010.

The amount of our sales we were up before, but a large part of those were short sales because of the economy. That's not the condition of the market today. So I'm happy to report that is holding steady. If you are thinking about buying in the Charleston market though, reach out to me. Let's talk because I can introduce you to all kinds of properties in whatever budget that is comfortable for you. Without further ado, let's take a step Inside and look at this house. It has been well maintained over the years. They've even encapsulated the crawl space, which is really important because we do have a humid climate around here. And so we want to make sure the health of the home starts in the crawlspace. And so they have encapsulated that as an excellent condition. Look at this pretty plaque. So 411 South Magnolia.

We're going to walk in on these antique floors. I mean they have been refinished, but they are original hardwood floors to the property, original glass windows. And so when we think about some of the characteristics of these old houses, the high 12-foot ceilings, they're heavy moldings. I love that they kept some of the moldings, the original wood finish, the stain wood finish, it really adds a lot of the character in the charm. It has been sustained over the years, but the windows, it's actually windows that maybe glass that people love now.

They have been well taken care of and they have been refinished as well. The wood pieces and the components, what we call reglazing they have been reglazed just as of last year and on.

So the living room, now we're in the formal dining room. Each of these spaces have their fireplaces and in fact, one out of four fireplaces, one has a gas line that could have gas logs and the other one already has gas logs in it. But look at the size of this room guys. I mean, it is plenty spacious enough to house a large dinner party, a family function. I love these old even down to the old hardware, little storage nooks into the space.

Let's take a look at this room up here. This is one of my favorite rooms in the house because this is what they use as their family room. Now this could be a home office, it could be a guest room, which would put it as a four bedroom if you were to use this as a guest room. And I could see that easily being done, but it too. Here's where the gas logs are in the gas fireplace. This is a cozy...room, honestly. It really has a great feel to it. It's here in the front of the house. You can overlook out into the sidewalk, the passerbys, and just a nice place to lounge right here adjacent to The hub of the home.So then I mean down to even these beautiful light fixtures.

And so now we're here in the kitchen and you can come and have scones and coffee with me, which I felt was appropriate on this Friday morning. But again, from 10:00 to 12:00, I'm going to be here at 411 South Magnolia. So come and visit and you can be enticed by the coastal coffee roasters. My friend Brad Mallet over there. Hi, yes, and had done as well this morning. So we have a gas line now, even though this is an electric range, there is a gas line run to this space. So if you did want to renovate and put a gas range in, the gas line is already there. That's really important because a lot of people do like the gas, and so it's already equipped for that.

All right. It even has a little area that could be a wet bar, just extra storage, pull out trash cans. But look at the natural light. So this area right here actually was in addition to the home at one time. And so this area is not original and obviously a lot of these houses have had add-on over the years.

Now here we are into the backyard and we're sitting on about a half acre property...total, and it follows roughly the fence line. And then there's a fence that you can barely see in the back because of the Azaleas that are covering it. But we've got Crepe Myrtles, we've got Magnolia, actually there's a Magnolia off on the left-hand side. You can't see it right now, but just wonderful landscaping throughout this yard.

This is the, there's two storage buildings. One is a true storage building, and the other one, actually, both of them have electricity. The other one could become a nice little cottage... a workshop, so to speak, which is how they're using it now. It could be a lot of different things. So some options for some extra space to grow into here in the backyard.

While I'm out here, I will make mention these metal roofs were refinished, believe it was a year or two ago. So they had been maintained as well. Again, just really well done gutters along the back to help control the water.

And days like today, I appreciate that. As I'm getting dripped on washer and dryer, neat little built in some storage back here.

Let's take a look at the bedrooms. So look at the sweet wallpaper that's in here and the pink, the faint pink ceiling. Oh my gosh. Now again, this house is being sold furnished. So if it works for you, great. If something does not meet your style, perfectly fine, sell it and then you can replace it. But honestly, the furniture that is in here is so well-thought-out and appropriately sized for the space. So here's that's the second bedroom.

And then last but not least, we're going to take a walk here into the master. Very spacious. It feels great. This is a king-size bed and we still have tons of space to walk around. Look at the wainscoting, the detail work in the wood trims, trim outs that are throughout the space. And again, hardwood floors.

Now this is where now I'm going to go into the master bathroom.This space was renovated a couple of years ago. This tile is to die for. I love the style that she did in here. It really still adds to that old world charm, but it has a fresh new feel to new feel to it. So we've got tile.

These are his and hers closets in here. So that's really easy to keep things divided and it kind of is offset. So that's nice little closet space.

We've got these nice custom shutters in here. Look at these vanities that were hand selected for the space. I mean down to all the little extra details and all of the specialized touches. Big shower, tiled shower with two shower heads. I never got that until recently when I used a shower that had two shower heads and I love it now. So I would imagine that you would too.

So let's take our tour back up to the front as we conclude today. So my question to you is what are your real estate needs? So what are your questions in real estate?
