Beautifully restored Charleston Single House in the heart of the Historic District, offering the rare combination of historic character, modern finishes, off-street parking and an enormous backyard. Restored from top to bottom within historic guidelines, the home features wide-plank oak floors, a gourmet kitchen with custom range hood and handmade tile, and a living room opening to the rear deck and green space. The primary suite includes piazza access, two closets and a spacious en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the interior. The extraordinary rear yard offers room for a pool, garden oasis or additional structure. The home was submitted for the prestigious Carolopolis Award by the current owner, a multiple-time recipient.
East Central, located between Meeting Street and the Cooper River, is a historic and residential Charleston neighborhood with narrow side streets and porch-lined facades. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Meeting Street corridor near Wragg Square, where corner stores, small galleries, and coffee counters set a steady daytime rhythm. Rows of single houses and restored cottages sit behind low fences, with pocket gardens softening the blocks. The walkable grid leads toward waterfront paths and downtown civic landmarks. The Charleston Museum, the South Carolina Aquarium, and the Gaillard Center act as cultural anchors close by. Evenings read quieter, with stoops and courtyards shaping the street-level atmosphere.
