901 Morton Waring Ln Pinopolis, SC 29469 MLS# 25004106
Extremely rare opportunity to purchase a piece of history in the historic village of Pinopolis. The Pineland Village, now known as Pinopolis, was founded circa 1845 as a retreat for Plantation owners to escape Lowcountry nights, thought to cause ''country fever'' (malaria). In the early 1900's, The Percival Ravenel Porcher II House was built for the Porcher Family as a summer house. Dr. Morton Waring and Frederick Porcher built the first homes in the Pineland Village and Dr. Waring practiced medicine in the village but also on the surrounding plantations and served as a doctor in the Civil War. Situated on a beautiful .77 acre corner lot with majestic oak tree laced with spanish moss, this classic Lowcountry home is awaiting its new owner.The property features an exquisite main house plus detached cottage formerly used as the office of Dr.Morton Waring. Gleaming heart pine flooring, multiple fireplaces, soaring 12-foot ceilings, extensive wainscoting and crown molding, solid wood doors- all of the beautiful character historic homes offer. The enclosed front porch is heated & cooled and leads to a central hallway that opens to 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and the dining room which is located in the heart of the home. To the right of the dining room is the den with gorgeous wood walls and ceiling along with built-in bookshelves with gun cabinets. Make your way to the back of the home to find a spacious kitchen , walk-in pantry with laundry room, and breakfast nook that overlooks the lawn.
