Property Description
Downtown chic! This two story complete remodel will amaze you with its classy style. This traditional Charleston Single has all of the charm from its Southern facing porches to its cozy brick courtyard. The cheerful white eat-in kitchen gets its “coastal” feel with an unexpected powder blue ceramic tile floor. The cabinets with their stainless look hardware compliment the gray tones in the Granite counter-tops. The crisp white appliances include a built-in microwave, a dishwasher, and an oven with a four burner gas cook top. A large window over the double sink has a view to the courtyard. A pantry closet and a laundry area are conveniently located on one wall of the kitchen. The soft pearl gray wall color and track lighting complete this upscale look. The second floor bath has a large, glass-front walk-in shower, and a sleek black stone counter-top on the vanity. A black and white tile floor adds impact to the look. The spacious adjacent master bedroom has windows on two walls and a fireplace partially enhanced with “Istanbul” tiles. This room has private access to the second floor rocking chair covered porch. A formal living room also has a gracious fireplace with an arched black metal stamped insert, a gorgeous white mantel and is connected to the gas line. A separate room that is being used as a family room, could be used as a formal dining room. This room has a fireplace fully surrounded by imported tiles. The main floor also has a half bath. Two additional upstairs bedrooms are spacious and one has a fireplace. Private off-street parking is accessed through a majestic wrought iron gate. The parking area is brick (with crushed stone), runs the length of the side of the house and flows into the brick courtyard in the back yard. The area is surrounded by brick and Hardi-plank walls for privacy and leads to a new storage building. Exterior lighting and new landscaping enhance the look. Beautifully brought into current from its roots in 1890, this home has new siding, new sheathing, new wrap, new insulation, new wiring, new plumbing, new hardwoods, new paint, new bathrooms, new roof, new chimneys, new flues with insulation between flue and brick, new vapor barrier, new fences, new shutters, new irrigation, new blown insulation, new gravel drive and pavers, and new landscaping and landscape lights. The shoring under the home has been replaced. This home is right in the heart of downtown Charleston, across from historic churches and within walking distance to the College of Charleston, Colonial Lake and the Charleston harbor. Charleston, an award winning city for several years, offers upscale dining in notable restaurants, shopping in boutique and antique shops, horse-driven carriage tours of some of the finest architecture in the country. The area beaches of Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island and Folly Beach are conveniently located within less than a 30 minute commute. Charleston is a golfers and boaters paradise with many activities for families. The Charleston airport, Charleston Air Force Base and North Charleston amenities are easily accessed on I-26 North.
