Welcome home to 29 Race Street! Don't miss this adorable 1940s craftsman style bungalow centrally located in the Upper Peninsula's Westside neighborhood. With much of the original character remaining, 29 Race Street shows the true evolution of a period home. Sitting on a large lot and graced with an excellent street presence, the home pleasantly greets you with a size-able front porch accented with custom wood and iron railings. To the right is the home's driveway and original 'porte cochere' for parking, as well as access to the enormous fenced in backyard. Once inside you will notice the effortless flow from the front living room, to the dining space, and then onto the kitchen. The formal living room is open and filled with light. Original details are found throughout; including pine flooring, original fireplace, a multitude of windows, and period built-in architectural details. Beyond the living room is the home's dining room which flows directly into the kitchen, separated by a high top bar window. The dining area and kitchen are both of excellent size, perfect for large family dinners or entertaining guests! The updated kitchen features a stainless gas range, custom cream cabinetry and ample counter space complimented by stainless steel hood, dishwasher and refrigerator. The main living space of the home has a very open feel, with just enough separation between rooms to give each their own identity. Look beyond the kitchen to a small pantry area for storage, stacked W/D, as well as access outside to the backyard. Very traditional in layout, this home features 2 beds and 1 bath. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the home and has it's own separate entrance to the shared bathroom. The second bedroom is also a good size and is accessed through a small hallway with a linen closet. The home's main bath has been recently updated with new tile flooring, sink vanity with Carrera marble and subway tile shower surround. The yard on this home is absolutely amazing and stretches back about 170'. The .2 acre lot would most certainly fit an addition to the current home, and a pool if desired. With DR-2F zoning this property may even support an additional dwelling! (Please check with City of Charleston) Enjoy all the conveniences that urban living has to offer! Hampton Park, Arthur Christopher Recreation Center and Herbert Hazel Pool, The Citadel, West Edge, Publix & The Joe Riley Stadium are all just a few minutes away. Go Riverdogs! Walk or bike over to the countless restaurants and boutiques of King Street. Stadium. MUSC, The Dental School and College of Charleston are just over the Crosstown for and easy commute! (sellers have never used fireplace and it is sold as/is)
