Description

A rare, true ground-up reconstruction in the heart of Wagener Terrace, where historic Charleston character meets the strength and sophistication of modern construction. Taken down to the dirt and rebuilt with intention, this residence delivers the confidence of essentially new construction, including a new foundation, all-new electrical and plumbing (with sewer line replaced to the street), HVAC, ductwork, roof, and more. The original windows and siding were carefully preserved and rebuilt by skilled craftsmen, maintaining architectural integrity while enhancing performance. Inside, wide-plank French oak flooring runs throughout, complemented by custom tile work and a refined, cohesive finish across every space. The main level is both functional and beautifully executed, featuring

Supplements: two spacious ensuite bedrooms, a well-appointed powder room, dedicated laundry, and light-filled living and dining areas designed for everyday comfort and entertaining. The kitchen serves as a true focal point, anchored by a dramatic 10-foot waterfall quartz island, custom cabinetry, and a premium Z-Line appliance suite including a 36" gas range. A large undermount sink overlooks the private backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, a fully finished and conditioned bonus level offers flexible space for a home office, studio, fitness area, or occasional guest use, along with a compact full bath. This level features lower ceiling heights and is best suited for buyers seeking functional flex space rather than a traditional full-height bedroom suite. Outdoor living is equally compelling. A new brick driveway provides off-street parking, while the fully fenced yard offers exceptional privacy, complete with a custom paver patio, built-in firepit, deck, ambient lighting, and a powered storage shed. The lot also allows room for a future pool, an increasingly rare opportunity in this location. Ideally positioned near Hampton Park, neighborhood green spaces, and renowned local dining, this is a comprehensive, no-shortcuts rebuild offering enduring quality, thoughtful design, and modern infrastructure in one of Charleston's most sought-after neighborhoods.
