500 N Parler Avenue

Formerly known as ''Annie Leila's,'' this property spans over 8.5 acres in St. George and is located on a street named after Annie Leila Parler's family. The house was originally two homes, built circa 1895, that were added onto & eventually connected. In 2016, there were two houses & the remains of two others in the woods. Annie Leila's bridal cabin was featured in the home rehabbing TV show 'Restoring Charleston', then annexed off and sold. The big house was gutted/prepped & re-roofed for a subsequent series that was never made. This 3,000 sf structure was first built using material milled at Dorchester Lumber Co.Salvaged antique boards have been de-nailed, stowed in-house, and are ready for the interior finishing phases. Although many see this material as bead-board, locals call them 'Badham Boards,' nicknamed in honor of the former lumber magnate. This home is layered with locally sourced oak, pine, and cypress. Annie Leila's has a cozy garage on site, but it's large enough for a small tractor or other tools/equipment. Around this outbuilding are over 1,900 palletized bricks, many salvaged from St. Geo.'s Appleby House.Beneath the live oak & magnolia trees, Miss Annie Leila planted camellias that bloom each winter & azaleas that flower in the spring. In addition, she nurtured the bamboo that has grown into a multi acre grove, spreading into the heart of this property & city block. There are now tunnels & paths throughout the grove that lead to the old homes sites, buildings once located on a patch of designated wetland in middle of the property. The back of Annie Leila's is over 4.5 acres on the corner of E. Murray/Cocoa.
