Completely updated 2 bed, 2 bath cottage in a prime downtown Charleston location. This home is beautifully renovated with hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, reclaimed wood-paneled walls, and a coastal color theme. It feels and lives much larger than the square footage! The kitchen is remodeled with Carrera quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, 5-burner gas stove, double sink, and breakfast bar. Both full baths have been redone with attractive tile work. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and a large en suite bath with dual sinks and glass-enclosed shower. It also has an exterior door to the back yard. Outside is an inviting space with a deck and privacy fence under a grand pecan tree. There is also a storage shed as well as a 178 sqft outbuilding (notincluded in tax records or square footage) with full bath, kitchenette, and loft. 52 Congress Street is conveniently located in North Central Charleston, near Hampton Park and the Upper King Street restaurant and nightlife district. The lot is at the end of the street with no neighbors to the side and direct access to Huger Street. The new Lowcountry Lowline park will be adjacent. Palmetto Brewing and Ethos Athletic Club are just behind. Little Jack's Tavern, Leon's Oyster House, Melfi's Italian, the Faculty Lounge, and Huriyali are all within a few blocks. Come see all that this charming cottage has to offer.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
