TONS of potential in this great James Island bungalow! This charmer is full of character and still retains its vintage hardwood floors and arched doorways. The layout works well and the rooms are all nicely sized.The attic has been converted providing 2 additional rooms(though ceiling height is a little low). Lots of curb appeal from the large (.43 acre) lot - plenty of room for that backyard oasis! The crowning jewel is the location! Howle is a quiet street,but the Grocery, Pharmacy, Restaurants, Theater and more are all only about a half mile away! MUSC/Downtown about 4 miles away and you have your choice of taking the JI connector or Savannah Hwy to get there! The home is a bit of a diamond in the rough but completely livable now and the potential is there to have an absolute showplace!
