About this home

Gorgeous Peninsula Bungalow! Completely renovated and ready for you! Tucked away from the street and even has parking for 2 compact vehicles! This downtown gem is surprisingly private and nestled behind a church. Easily walk or ride a bike to nearby hot spots. 1/2 a mile to Marion Square, 1 mile to College of Charleston, and only a 5 minute walk to The Upper King Street Restaurant and Bar district, including AC's, Midtown, Prohibition, and Music-Farm just to name a few! Don't want to be trapped in downtown traffic? Because of the unique location, it is incredibly easy to get onto the Ravenel Bridge and in only 6 minutes arrive in Mount Pleasant or the Isle of Palms in 20 minutes or Sullivans Island in just 15 minutes. This home is the ideal place to be on the peninsula!Home sits high off the ground and did not flood during the 1000 year flood that Charleston experienced in 2015 or Hurricane Matthew in 2016. The crawl space has been cleaned and had a vapor barrier installed. All new windows, doors, and floors! New cabinets, counters, and stainless steel appliances! New HVAC and tank-less water heater just installed! Backyard has been cleaned and is ready for your ideal outdoor space! Plenty of room for a patio, fire pit, or grilling station.
