Rare opportunity to secure a recently rezoned commercial property along Central Avenue, one of Summerville's most important growth corridors. With commercial zoning approval already achieved and Central Avenue planned for major widening improvements, 1120 Central Avenue offers immediate positioning, future visibility, and long-term upside for an owner-user, investor, or service-based commercial operator.1120 Central Avenue is a +/-2,332 SF single-story brick property situated on approximately 1.05 acres in the Millwood area of Summerville. Public records show the property was originally built in 1966 and includes a flexible single-story layout, multiple private rooms/offices, two full bathrooms, a screened porch, carport, and a large site footprint with room to evaluate additional parking, circulation, or future site improvements.The property has been recently rezoned from residential to commercial, with the zoning conversion fully approved by the Town. That approval is a major milestone, removing one of the largest barriers to commercial use and positioning the property for a more efficient transition into full commercial operation. Municipal technical review requirements are documented and on file, giving the next owner or tenant a clear roadmap for bringing the property into full commercial compliance.This is not a generic office box. It is a flexible commercial canvas in a corridor that is actively changing. Central Avenue is entering a new phase of investment. Dorchester County's Central Avenue improvement project includes widening and intersection improvements between Orangeburg Road and Parsons Road, with design alternatives including five-lane sections, improved traffic flow, pedestrian accommodations, and bike/pedestrian connectivity. The County states the project is intended to reduce congestion, improve safety, and support future corridor demand. For this property, that matters. A two-lane corridor moving toward a larger, more visible commercial roadway creates the kind of exposure, access, and daily traffic patterns that commercial users look for. Any potential right-of-way or land acquisition tied to the project should be reviewed directly with the Town/County, but the broader takeaway is clear: Central Avenue is being positioned for more movement, more visibility, and more commercial relevance.The site is minutes from Historic Downtown Summerville and convenient to I-26, Nexton, Carnes Crossroads, and the broader Charleston employment base. Major regional drivers including Boeing South Carolina, Mercedes-Benz Vans, and the Port of Charleston continue to support long-term population, logistics, and business growth across the metro. Summerville's population was estimated at 52,625 in 2024, with median household income above $81,000 and strong retail spending activity, reinforcing the demand for professional services, medical, wellness, office, and neighborhood commercial uses.Nearby traffic generators include established residential neighborhoods, schools, downtown Summerville, Central Avenue retail, neighborhood shopping, grocery, restaurants, and daily-service businesses.The hard part has already been started. Rezoning from residential to commercial has been approved, the technical review path is documented, and Central Avenue is moving toward a higher-capacity future. Properties with acreage, visibility, commercial flexibility, and infrastructure upside are increasingly limited in Summerville's core growth areas.For the buyer or tenant with vision, 1120 Central Avenue of
