What This House Offers
Restored circa-1870 Charleston single in prime downtown location! Renovated from the studs in & out- except for the original hardwood floors in 2012! Situated right next to a community park, this 5 bed/3 bath home features great curb appeal with metal roof, full-length lower and upper level covered piazzas and gated off-street parking. Original heart pine flooring and 10' ceilings that flow
throughout the entire home. The first floor boasts a spacious eat-in kitchen with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and direct access to the front piazza and backyard. The 1st floor also includes a large living room, 2 generously sized bedrooms (one of which has a gorgeous brick surround fireplace and could be used as a 1st floor master suite), and a full bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity.
The 2nd floor opens up to a landing leading to the upper level covered piazza and offers a stunning master suite with brick surround fireplace, walk-in closet and private ensuite bathroom. Down the hall is an additional living room with brick fireplace, laundry space with stacked washer/dryer, a full bathroom with dual sinks and 2 additional bedrooms.
The private, fenced-in backyard offers plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the excellent Lowcountry weather and the large, gated driveway can easily accommodate parking for 3+ cars. Just steps to a lovely community park, and within walking distance to fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment on Upper King St, this location cannot be beat! Ready for occupancy - not a 2027 college rental
