Nestled in one of Charleston's most sought-after neighborhoods, and just steps away from the Avondale commercial district, this previously expanded 1940's brick cottage offers the perfect opportunity to add modern touch to original charm. The home sits true to its original character with quaint curb appeal, mid-century features and finishes, but was previously expanded to feature items not seen in Byrnes Downs until recently - a large living room, oversized dining area and wood-burning fireplace, as well as upstairs guest bedrooms and bath. Boasting 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in total and spanning 2039 SF, the home lends itself more towards family living than it's 2 bed 1 bath peers. The galley style kitchen was updated by current ownership and now offers updated cabinets, stainless steel appliances and granite countertops with barstool seating. Behind the home, you will also find a fully fenced, manageable yard and large storage shed. The property sits towards the back of the neighborhood, allowing for increased privacy and less transient traffic. Byrnes Downs is a 1940's brick cottage community just minutes away from downtown Charleston. It has deep roots in Charleston's WWII-era history, with the homes originally serving as rentals for the Charleston Naval Shipyard workers. Homes were later sold to veterans and the neighborhood quickly developed a reputation of its own as a preferred bedroom community. Today, Byrnes Downs sits along the West Ashley Greenway, an 8-mile-long biking and walking trail that connects the area to other neighborhoods, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. The City of Charleston is currently linking the greenway to the downtown peninsula. Construction recently started on the pedestrian bridge spanning the Ashley River, ensuring continued access and further interest in the neighborhood for years to come. Just minutes away from all Downtown Charleston and its amazing beaches have to offer! Do not miss your opportunity to own and transform this amazing home in such a special location.
