You will not be disappointed with the combination of old and new features that characterize this 1930's bungalow. Filled with the charm and character of an older home, the newly renovated kitchen lends a modern feel to the house with updated appliances such as a super-quiet ASKO stainless dishwasher, a Jenn-Aire semi-pro gas stove with a convection oven and a warming drawer, and a stainless French door over/under Jenn-Aire Refrigerator. The kitchen also has marble countertops and new cabinetry. The hardwoods floors, that run throughout much of this home, add warmth to the formal dining room, formal living room, the kitchen, the guest bedroom and the master bedroom. There is a wonderful library off of the formal dining room with built in bookshelves that could serve as a media room, den or a game room. This beautiful wing of this home also has an office area, a half bath and another guest bedroom. The master bathroom has a full updated bath and a large walk-in closet. The outside of the house is as enticing as the inside, surrounded by live oaks and a white picket fence. The courtyard in the backyard is the perfect place to enjoy Charleston evenings and is a gardeners delight complete with a potting shed! The large outbuilding has the potential to be a perfect workshop. Seller has started some other renovations which are incomplete as this is a short sale. Seller will be making no repairs to this property.
