Beautifully restored circa-1840 Charleston Single in the heart of Downtown Charleston! This home boasts a total of 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,300+ sq ft of living space, full upper and lower level covered piazzas, and fabulous outdoor space as well as gated off-street parking. This classic Charleston Single was completely taken down to the studs and restored in 2008. All the historic fabric was salvaged and reused and all the modern conveniences and materials were added. Some of the modern materials are the TPO roof, open cell and closed cell spray foam, and rebuilt piers along with new continuous footers. Featuring a great flowing floor plan with oversized rooms and an abundance of natural light, this home is perfect for buyers looking to experience the historic Charleston lifestylewhile enjoying the comfort and conveniences of a modern home. Entering through the front door, you will be standing in the foyer of what was the original home that includes a large formal living and dining room with 10' ceilings, crown molding, original hardwood floors, and windows. Each room includes updated brick surround fireplaces with original mantles flanked by built-in shelving and gorgeous light fixtures. The kitchen marks the start of the addition and is a chef's dream with stainless steel appliances, a 6 burner gas range with a commercial-grade hood, custom cabinets, and a huge 13' long island with overhead pendant lighting and tons of storage space. The kitchen combines with the family room featuring a full panel wall that hides both a walk-in laundry room and a separate walk-in pantry complete with custom cabinets, granite countertops, and custom heart pine exposed shelves. Perhaps one of the most unique features of this property is the original cistern that can be accessed by a trap door under the floor of the pantry. This ~55 sq ft space with barrel ceiling includes power and light and while currently used for additional storage, would make an excellent wine cellar. The first floor also includes a powder room with a custom wall-mounted sink and coat closet that have been added off the foyer. The 2nd floor can be accessed by one of 2 staircases and can be used in multiple configurations depending on the style of the user. At the top of the main staircase is a door leading to the upper piazza and a large bedroom with brick fireplace with original mantle and 2 closets with adjustable shelving, this room makes for an excellent study to complete a primary suite or a wonderful nursery. Across the landing is the primary suite that boasts multiple closets with original doors and hardware, brick fireplace, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with custom double vanity, large soaking tub, and Carerra shower with dual shower heads to create a truly spa-like experience. The 3rd bedroom is located on the back end of the home and can be accessed by a staircase from the kitchen or through the primary bathroom through a mirrored pocket door. It includes a large walk-in closet (with roof access) and an ensuite bathroom with refinished clawfoot tub and shower. The backyard recently finished an extensive overhaul and features an irrigation system, maintenance-free artificial turf, paver patio, planters, tons of shed/storage space, and a custom play structure for kids (that can be removed prior to closing). Conveniently located just down the street from the Charleston Visitors Center and across the street from an oak-lined park, this home is walkable to all things Downtown including fine dining, art galleries, designer boutiques, and antique shopping on King Street, this location simply cannot be beat!
