151 Chesnut Street

Wonderful custom home, nestled under century old live oaks, and right in the heart of Camden. This property includes a 3 bedroom main house, separate carriage house, and breathtaking paths through the back veranda and gardens. This property is the quintessential southern estate with a large covered front porch, screened in back porch, green metal roof and even a tree house with fire pole. The main level offers a great room with wood burning fireplace, large gourmet kitchen, formal dining room and primary owners suite. This bedroom is a true oasis! Not only is there a large sleeping area, but there is also an adjoining sitting room/office with gas fireplace and doors out to the screened porch. A barn door leads to the bathroom with claw foot tub, tiled shower with seamless glass doors, and double vanities. There is also an entire "dressing room/closet" off the bath, complete with a chandelier and 3 windows. The second level offers 2 more bedrooms, a shared bath, and large central gathering space. Both of these bedrooms have an extra nook, perfect for a reading area. If more space is still needed, the detached carriage house has endless possibilities. This building was designed to look historic and offers around 600 square feet of additional space. (Heated and cooled with a wall unit.) This building is currently used for storage, but has been a wonderful entertaining space in the past with a refrigerator inside, and built in bar and grilling area just outside the doors. One of the best features of the house is the back veranda. This secret garden is enclosed with fencing, iron gates, cobblestone paths, plus the entire back yard is shaded under the canopy of an old oak tree. Additional special features of this property include Kentucky walnut hardwood floors (that were milled right on site), a Well that serves the irrigation and Rinnai instant hot water heater. Homes like this are hard to find in downtown Camden, with the architectural design to replicate a historic home, but the efficiency and conveniences of newer construction. This one won't last long!
