Supplements

Original elements add warmth and authenticity, complemented by a fully redesigned primary suite featuring dual custom closets and a beautifully tiled bath. The kitchen, rebuilt to the studs, anchors the home as a natural gathering space with custom finishes and effortless flow for entertaining. The detached ADU further enhances the property, offering a heated and cooled one-car garage, private office with built-ins, half bath, and additional laundry on the main level, and an upstairs apartment complete with full kitchen and bath--perfect for hosting or creating a private retreat for visitors. Outdoor living is exceptional, and a double lot of this size is rare on the peninsula. The fully fenced yard creates a secluded compound featuring a newly added pool, custom pergola, brick fireplace, and private outdoor shower--delivering a truly retreat-like setting in the heart of downtown. Extensive improvements since 2018 include a new roof, updated plumbing and electrical, HVAC, encapsulated crawlspace, and more--resulting in a turnkey Charleston property where historic charm and modern living are thoughtfully balanced.
