This is a classic example of a Charleston Victorian home, while tax records indicate being built in 1930 it is probably closer to 1890 being part of ''Wilson's Farm''. This home has been well maintained to show most of its original architectural features while adding modern conveniences. Greeted outside by double Piazza's painted in Charleston ''Haint Blue'', they provide wonderful outdoor living space and upstairs includes a bench swing. Inside in the foyer you will see the Heart Pine flooring that is used throughout the home and notice the soaring ceilings and the beadbaord with chair railing used throughout as well. Downstairs you'll find the large LR with fireplace and lots of natural light you'll notice as another theme throughout the home.French Doors open into the traditional Dining Room featuring a diagonal fireplace and beautiful chandelier. The updated, open kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including wine fridge & white cabinets, many boasting glass doors. The first bedroom is downstairs, great for guests or to be used as a home office. The updated but classic full bath downstairs is showcased by the original clawfoot tub and updated with new lighting and vanity. Laundry is in the kitchen and under the stairs is the hot water heater and storage completing the downstairs living space. Upstairs, down the long hallway, you'll find the master bedroom complete with fireplace, ceiling fan and second door to hallway in order to access front Piazza. Just down the hall you'll step into the fully renovated bathroom with custom vanity, granite top, also shared in walk-in shower wall, rain head shower and beautiful tile floors. The next bedroom features a massive walk-in closet complete with built-ins, could be used as a second or main master bedroom. It also gives access to the attic for additional storage. The 4th bedroom has access to its own rear porch that overlooks the huge backyard and magnolia tree. Out back the oversized lot is fully fenced in and waiting for your landscape dreams, it currently features a patio and outbuilding for storage. The home is completed with off-street parking, enough for two cars or more if gate is open, gutters and brand new HVAC units on both floors! This home oozes Charleston Charm while being updated and on a huge lot all in the Westside neighborhood and a block from King St, walk to your favorite bars, restaurants, shopping or parks and come see what 301 Sumter St can do for you!
