Historic Charleston character and thoughtful modern design come together at 4 Percy Street, a Charleston single originally built in 1895 and extensively renovated in 2022. This 2,100 SF, three-bedroom, three-full-bath home pairs original architectural details with new flooring, refined finishes, abundant natural light, and nine-and-a-half-foot ceilings. Set on high ground, the property also offers a valuable downtown feature: a private driveway with two off-street parking spaces, plus room for a golf cart.Restoration Hardware lighting sets the tone throughout, from the chandelier in the entry to the fixtures in the dining room, kitchen, stairwell, and all three bathrooms, with dimmers on nearly every light so the ambiance can be tailored to the moment. Built-in Sonos ceiling speakers serve all three rooms on the main level. The front sitting room offers a moodier, intimate retreat with a bay window, custom built-in seat, and hidden storage. With a spacious closet and a full bathroom nearby, the room offers flexibility for a variety of uses, including the potential to serve as a fourth bedroom with the addition of a door. The formal dining room features exposed brick, an original fireplace, and a shiplap accent wall. Shiplap continues along the staircase to the second level, where another Restoration Hardware chandelier draws the eye upward. In the kitchen, two-tone cabinetry, warm wood finishes, brass accents, and new tile flooring balance classic and contemporary design. A Café appliance package includes a six-burner range, double ovens, and a built-in microwave drawer, along with a reverse osmosis filtration system at the sink for filtered water on tap. A charming breakfast nook offers a comfortable spot for everyday dining, while the adjoining laundry and mudroom includes custom cabinetry, generous counter space, a full-size pantry, and an LG washer and dryer. The primary suite is filled with natural light and features a fireplace and custom closet built-ins. The primary bath includes floor-to-ceiling marble, a double vanity, and a walk-in shower. All three bathrooms were fully renovated in 2022 and finished with Restoration Hardware and lighting. The backyard offers a private outdoor retreat rarely found downtown, with room to entertain, relax, and envision even more. Thoughtfully designed landscaping and hardscaping frame the turf, putting green, fire pit, private sauna, Diamond Spas steel hot tub, patio, and grilling area, all set to music with Sonos outdoor speakers. There is also ample space to explore adding an in-ground pool, subject to applicable approvals and site requirements. All appliances, including the washer and dryer, as well as the Weber grill, Diamond Spas steel hot tub, sauna, and fire pit convey with the home at no additional cost. For buyers interested in expanding, the property comes with transferable BAR-approved plans for an addition featuring an expanded primary suite, a new living room, and a screened-in porch with a fireplace. Architectural, interior design, and landscape renderings are available to help bring that vision to life. The property is located in Flood Zone X, where flood insurance is not federally required based on the mapped designation. Individual lender requirements may vary. Tucked away on a residential street in the Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood, 4 Percy Street feels like a retreat while keeping the best of downtown close at hand. Neighborhood favorites such as Vern's, Chubby Fish, and Babas are within walking distance, along with coffee shops, shopping, and King Street just a few blocks away.
Cannonborough-Elliottborough, located between King Street and the Crosstown (US-17), is a historic and walkable Charleston neighborhood with a tight street grid and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Spring Street and King Street, where coffee counters, small galleries, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks active. Rows of Charleston single houses mix with restored corner stores and newer infill, giving the blocks a layered, lived-in look. The daily rhythm runs from bakery mornings to patio evenings, with pocket parks and shaded stoops shaping the pace. Community pillars include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Sugar Bakeshop, and The Commodore.
