Centrally located in one of Charleston's most desirable family neighborhoods and completely remodeled in 2012 by TMD Architects and Lynch Construction. This 4500ft plus Crescent home sits on very high 1/2 acre lot with an in-ground pool and a very private backyard. This house was taken '' to the studs'' and the foot print was expanded to provide a spacious, well flowing interior floor plan which captures plenty of light and offers lots of green space to enjoy. A new copper roof, new oak floors, new Trane heating and air conditioning systems, new plumbing/wiring and new Anderson windows and doors were among some of the most notable upgrades.Set back off the street, this handsome brick single family home provides an open floor plan with adjoining family room and kitchen, a formal dining room, a flexible entertainment room and a large home office/library on the first floor. The kitchen is well equipped with soap stone counter tops, stainless appliances, bar stool seating, plenty of cabinet space and also offers a breakfast nook eating area. There is a wet bar and large pantry adjacent to the kitchen which is very useful for storage and entertaining. There is a mud room with additional storage and a downstairs laundry room. A screened patio is located just outside the family room. The master suite and 3 additional bedrooms are located on the second floor. The master suite is very spacious and well proportioned, providing a walk in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub and shower. There is small deck off the master which overlooks the landscaped yard. One large guest room has an ensuite bathroom and the other 2 bedrooms share 1 bathroom. Beautiful oak floors can be found throughout the home. This property is located in a non-hazardous X Flood Zone, so no flood insurance is required(although owner has basic policy for $450 a year) and there have been no flooding issues at this home during the last 3 years of named storms. With close proximity to Porter Gaud and 5 minutes from downtown Charleston, this home works well for a family looking to own a recently updated and remodeled home, with plenty of parking, a large yard, pool and green space. With very limited inventory in the Crescent, don't miss this opportunity to see this wonderful home!
