Description
Positioned on a corner lot in the highly regarded Hampton Park neighborhood of Downtown Charleston, this beautifully maintained residence reflects a careful balance of historic integrity and modern refinement. Offering a wonderful sense of quality, cohesion, and turnkey ease, this home is ready to be enjoyed from day one.
The light-filled main level is defined by a well-considered floor plan that supports both daily living and formal entertaining. Generous living and dining spaces are anchored by original heart pine floors, detailed crown molding, and classic wainscoting that speak to the home's enduring craftsmanship. A flexible first-floor room provides exceptional versatility, functioning seamlessly as a home office, guest suite, playroom, or optional fourth bedroom.
Supplements: The kitchen is both elegant and efficient, appointed with stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and custom-style cabinetry that offers ample storage without sacrificing aesthetic appeal. Every finish has been selected to complement the home's historic character while meeting the expectations of modern living. Upstairs, the primary suite is designed as a private retreat, featuring direct access to the upper piazza and a spa-inspired bath with a beautiful clawfoot tub, separate shower, and timeless fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and a thoughtfully designed full bath are located down the hall. A conveniently placed laundry area with built-in storage enhances functionality, while a versatile bonus space offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom, office, or secondary living area. Outdoor spaces extend the home's livability, highlighted by Charleston's iconic double piazzas, a fully fenced yard, and a newly constructed deck that creates an inviting setting for entertaining or everyday enjoyment. Ideally located just moments from Hampton Park and within close proximity to Charleston's acclaimed dining, shopping, and cultural destinations, this residence offers an exceptional opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored home in one of downtown's most desirable neighborhoods.
