553 Rutledge Ave, Charleston, SC 29403

Enjoy all Downtown Charleston has to offer while living in this remarkable transformation of an early Freedman's cottage. With easy access to MUSC, The Citadel and College of Charleston, this property offers a comfortable mix of historic charm and modern convenience. Hampton Park, Upper King Street, and Joe Riley Park are only a walk, or quick bike ride away. The master bedroom and bath offer abundant storage (two large closets, including a generous walk-in), and the bathroom includes dual vanities, concrete countertops and a large tiled shower. Renovations also include new plumbing, new electrical, a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, new cabinetry, concrete countertops, new brick piers and steps for the front porch, all new appliances,and new insulation in the crawlspace, interior walls and attic. The home's contemporary updates are integrated masterfully with period architectural and design details, which include original pine floors, brick fireplaces, and moldings. This home also features a thoughtfully landscaped courtyard with plenty of space for outdoor entertaining and garden living. This is one of the nicest renovations I have seen in this area in quite some time. In fact, to call it a renovation does not fully describe the articulate refurbishment and rebirth of this early 20th century gem. If you appreciate Charleston history and want to enjoy it without breaking the bank, then put this one in your "must see" list and schedule a visit. Limited showing times due to a toddler's schedule.
