Hard-to-find newer construction in desirable Harleston Village with impossible-to-find 2-car back-to-back/tandem garage, plus additional off-street guest parking space! Perfectly located midway between the market (4 blocks) & Colonial Lake (3 blocks), the 5-star luxury Wentworth Mansion hotel (+ restaurant & spa) is just around the corner, only 3 blocks to Charleston Place & vibrant King St restaurants & shops, 5 blocks to public tennis courts & several marinas are within walking/biking distance (about 9 blocks). The Black Tap coffee shop is on the corner! There are many downtown parks for kids or pets. This detached Charleston single home has charm without the old-house headaches & high utility bills, would make a great lock and leave second home, has been a great rental.

A lovely brick patio in the courtyard garden is shared with four other surrounding homes. In addition to the two-car garage, there is a small parking space to the right of the garage door. Owners may also apply for two city decals to park on surrounding streets, so your guests may park in your garage and/or dedicated parking space when visiting. Or books of guest passes for street parking are available for purchase from the city. Please note that surface parking spaces in downtown Charleston have recently sold for $90-106,000 per parking space! Kirkland Lane is a hidden gem, a little-traveled lane with a mixture of historic & new homes. The Black Tap coffee shop anchors the south end of the lane. Residents of the street include professionals, students/doctors at nearby College of Charleston & MUSC, primary & second home owners. The quarterly condo regime fee should include all building insurance, common area electricity (lights at parking spaces), landscaping and mulch/pine straw, termite bond, a contribution for reserves (for parking lot maintenance when required) and a modest management fee. Each owner handles their own exterior maintenance, although the regime sometimes pays for power-washing. The exterior was recently painted (has been painted about once every eight years). Listing agent is working to get updated condo regime information and verify termite bond. The 2021 regime fee was paid $1247.25/quarter for a total of $4989/year. Of that, approximately $566 was for flood insurance, $2880 was for other insurance, $1065 was for landscaping and common area lights and maintenance, $225 was for the annual termite bond, $400 was to go into reserves for any future expenses (like parking space paving), and the rest was for management and tax preparation. The flood zone was recently changed from AE13 to AE10, which should mean lower flood insurance costs, although the cost of other insurance recently increased. The master deed and by-laws can be provided upon request. City ordinances restrict rentals to 30 days or more in all residential areas.
