Don't miss this charming downtown home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths in an amazing Charleston location. When you step inside the piazza, you'll be greeted by the magical courtyard that runs along the side and rear of the home, perfect for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. You'll notice the exterior has been recently painted and has newly added landscaping. Moving inside the home you'll be impressed with the amount of natural light the wall of windows provides into the kitchen and living spaces. This Charleston single has been recently renovated with heart pine (most original) floors throughout, a beautiful kitchen with granite countertops and plenty of cabinets. This area is open to the dining space and sitting room. Also downstairs, the family room, as it's being used now, could bebe a 3rd bedroom with a nice-sized closet. There is a full guest bath downstairs just off the family room. Upstairs you'll find another flex space which can be a play area or office space and the laundry closet. The primary bedroom on one side of the home, has a lovely ensuite bath and large closet. The 2nd bedroom is separated by the loft area and has a wall of closets. There is also another full bath on this floor with claw-foot tub. 12 Duncan Street is across from the courtyard at the College of Charleston Mace Brown Museum of Natural History, just 2 blocks from King Street with many restaurants and lots of shopping and just steps away from MUSC. This home comes with two dedicated and deeded, off-street parking spaces. Note the metal roof and separate upstairs and downstairs air conditioning units for energy efficiency. It's hard to find this combination of charm and convenience of location in one home!
