Welcome to a tastefully renovated, energy efficient, Arts and Crafts home in progressive Carolina Terrace - minutes from Downtown Charleston. Walk to the grocery store, post office and to the hip shops and restaurants in Avondale. This home was completely renovated in 2002 which included a second story addition. Gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, lighting and granite counter tops. As you drive up, you will notice the heavy overhanging eaves that accentuate the fabulous 1950's detail. At the end of a covered / gated front entrance, you will enter through a beautiful mahogany door to the generously sized foyer. You will immediately notice that this is not your usual 1950s floor-plan. The kitchen and family room have an open concept feel that will appeal to the modern day family. The family room has a gas fireplace with slate box and finished off with a custom hearth and mantle. Downstairs you will find two bedrooms and bath with jacuzzi tub. Upstairs is the surprise...the entire second floor is the master suite. Huge master bedroom with very large master closet...be sure to notice the additional closet/storage under the eaves. The master bath boasts a jacuzzi tub with tile surround and separate glass shower. The bonus is the 180 sqft trellised private balcony overlooking the spacious backyard. Also located upstairs is the oversized laundry room with sink and folding area. The kitchen opens to the large patio - the perfect spot for grilling out and enjoying the fenced yard. There is also a workshop with tiled sink and storage space. The former owner was a landscape architect - the current owner has carefully maintained the yard and plantings. This is a great home, so don't let this opportunity slip by.
