Overview
Beautiful, distinct home with lots of history. This home was originally constructed in 1880 as the ''Tea Pickers School House'' at the Pinehurst Tea Farm Plantation. At the time it was the only successful Tea Farm in the US - so successful it was once visited by President Theodore Roosevelt. This charming home is situated on almost an acre of land with mature trees offering plenty of shade and privacy. Inside you will find an inviting great room with 10.5 ft. ceilings & original wood burning fireplace. The main house has the original 100+ year old heart pine wood floors Five large bedrooms with Owner's suite on first floor, 5th bedroom is upstairs and has full bath & closets. Kitchen adjoins the formal dining room - perfect for entertaining and a delightful place to gather with family &friends. You will also find plenty of storage inside & out of this unique home. There is a guest cottage that measures 24 x 20 (needs some work) which was the old cook house for the school. The back of the home is a gardener's paradise! There is an in ground irrigation system that runs off a deep well, a fully fenced yard. Out back you can relax on the private patio. Plenty of storage upstairs with walk in attics. There is a two car garage with opener and a separate entrance onto property from 17A. Just a little history, in 1880 Dr. Charles Shepard founded the Pinehurst Tea Plantation in Summerville. A variety of tea known as Oolong was Pinehurst claim to fame and even won first prize at the 1904 World's Fair. Sadly, like its predecessors, Pinehurst remained prosperous only until the death of its owner, in 1915. The tea growing at Pinehurst was important however, as it allowed for the creation of the American Tea.
