Home Description

When you are looking to live in downtown Charleston, you are looking for so much more than just a place to lay your head at night. You want the fabulous home with the historic touches- and you want the lifestyle. There is no better set up for that than this home. ''Officially'' located on a quiet street in the Westside neighborhood, this property is only steps away from Hampton Park and all that it has to offer. Built in 1935 and completely renovated - and expanded- in the past few years, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home has the appeal of an historic home but the niceties of updated HVAC, electric, gas, and plumbing, new energy efficient windows, and tankless water heater. While some renovations can erase the charm and character from a home, this one embraces its low country roots bypreserving its original fireplaces (one with an oyster shell hearth!) and continuing its substantial moldings and baseboards throughout the addition. For that truly upgraded look- there are custom plantation shutters in every room of the house. At the heart of the home is an updated light filled kitchen with an island perfect for dining. Off of either side of the kitchen are a family room and a breakfast (or office?!) nook. Easy access to extra storage and the laundry hook ups are under the stairs. The spacious master bedroom has his and hers closets and is located on the ground floor. It features a large ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub- complete with rainfall shower. Upstairs is a large shared bathroom and two additional bedrooms - one with a walk in closet and the other, large enough for a king sized bed- with room to spare! Perhaps the crown jewel of the home is the courtyard and porch. Truly embraced as an extension of the living space of the home, the space brings the outdoors in. The home was built in the Charleston Single Style fashion. The front door of the home provides privacy while accessing a long side porch. The porch is open to the gated courtyard which provides convenient off street parking. However, because there is no issue with accessing street parking, the current owners have updated the space with new landscaping and throw the doors open to enjoy the courtyard as a play and entertainment area all year round. The location of this home cannot be beat. Walk to the end of the street to get to school or turn the corner and line up at Johnson Hagood Stadium to watch the Bulldogs play. Grab your bike and before you have made a complete turn of the wheels, you will be pedaling through the Crepe Myrtles and Spanish moss in Hampton Park. Don't feel like cooking tonight? Walk across the street to Lillian's Petit Market & Eatery. You can pop in for a coffee or a drink, dine in at any time of the day, or grab a meal and some sundries from their refrigerated section to pop in the oven at home. This home is the epitome of downtown living- that is, if you are looking for the perfect home in the perfect location.
