Charming Charleston single with many recent upgrades but still waiting for renovated baths and kitchen and interior decoration to realize its potential as a beautiful home. Substantial siding replacement and other major carpentry work just completed; exterior and roof just painted; new Amana 12 Seer gas split HVAC in 02/05; w/d, water htr, refrigerator and dishwasher all replaced since 2001. Nicely proportioned rooms, beautiful floors, 4 FP's, wider than average lot make this a great house for a personal residence. Rear yard large enough for a landscaped garden and maybe a pool. Termite bond. Great potential for this property.Contingent upon inspection and financing.
