Welcome to the lower unit of this charming 1915 Craftsman-style duplex in the... heart of Hampton Park Terrace—a highly sought-after neighborhood known for its historic charm, tree-lined streets, and walkability to some of Charleston's favorite local spots.
Step through the private front entrance into a traditional foyer, where a stacked washer/dryer is tucked away for your convenience.
Just beyond a set of glass French doors, you'll find an inviting open-concept living space that flows seamlessly from the living room to the dining area and kitchen.
Original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and two preserved (non-working) fireplaces add timeless character throughout the home.
The living area features beautiful pocket doors that open into a traditional dining room, plus a casual bar-height counter for additional seating at the kitchen.
The updated kitchen boasts shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas cooktop, and ample prep space—ideal for both everyday use and entertaining.
The spacious primary bedroom sits at the center of the home, comfortably fitting a king-size bed and offering a walk-in closet.
The ensuite bathroom has been tastefully renovated with a walk-in glass shower, hexagon tile floors, subway tile walls, and a classic pedestal sink.
At the rear of the home, you'll find two generously sized guest bedrooms and a second fully updated bathroom with a soaking tub, subway tile, and more hexagon flooring detail.
This unit includes access to the front yard and charming porch only (the driveway and backyard are reserved for the upstairs occupant, the owner's son).
If you're looking for a beautifully preserved historic home with modern updates in a premier Charleston location, this one checks all the boxes. Hampton Park Terrace is a historic neighborhood bordered by the city's largest park, Hampton Park.
