A Downtown Charleston buyers dream! This historic Victorian home was professionally re-designed with urban elegance by the owner/architect. The creation is a magical merging of inspiration and architecture. 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2400 SF. Located in the Elliotborough neighborhood within the short term rental overlay district. Off street parking possible for 5 cars tandem (currently 3); non-tandem parking is an option if the back courtyard is removed. Home comes with a one year new build home warranty transferable to the new owners.In April of 2020, the piazza and roof of this home caught on fire; believed to be caused by tenants smoking on the piazza. Due to the smoke and from water damage caused in the fire extinguishment process, the home was gutted down to the studs in addition to some stud replacement. Foundations and framing were inspected by structural engineers and brought up to current codes. All mitigation and construction work was done by licensed professionals. Basically everything is new except most of the framing, original front room wood floor, mantels, stair railing, a couple of windows the BAR wanted to remain, and a good part of the exterior wood cladding. All new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and fixtures, roof, HVAC, and piazza. Every detail was carefully selected and quality crafted. Sprawling, open concept living space with 8' tall multi-panel sliders looking out over the new deck and sensationally landscaped courtyard with built-in seating, fountain and stunning live oak. Besides the piazza and backyard deck, there is an additional deck off of the owners suite. Exposed brick, refinished and new wood flooring, terrace tile flooring in bathrooms with Carrera marble at all vanities (owners suite 2" thick), free standing slipper tub, large walk in shower, 3 non-working fireplaces with restored wood mantles, one new working gas fireplace at living room, vaulted 2nd floor bedroom ceilings, almost all new windows with hurricane protection, new driveway, newly painted interior and exterior, gorgeous quartz countertops with natural quartzite peninsula, all new appliances including gas range and gas tankless water heater, designer light fixtures throughout, and hurricane roll downs. Architects notes: Regarding niche off of dining with desk- this area was left open as it could serve several different functions, depending on how the purchaser might want to finish the space. Several design options were drawn up by architect and left as a single sheet on top of the desk. Please do not take with you but photograph if desired.
