This charming 1930s bungalow, ideally located just off King St., seamlessly blends historic Charleston charm with modern amenities, thanks to a complete renovation. The classic white picket fence and inviting front porch swing add to its curb appeal, while the convenience of off-street parking for two vehicles enhances the practicality of this home. The driveway gate is wide enough to accommodate a boat, and the expansive backyard--rare for the peninsula--offers endless potential for future projects: build an ADU, add a pool, or expand the home.Inside, an airy open floor plan boasts high ceilings, fresh paint, and hardwood floors throughout. The primary and second bedrooms both offer direct access to a charming bathroom, featuring a clawfoot tub and stylish tile.The updated kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, ample counter space, a large pantry, and a cozy built-in banquette with additional storage. The large fenced backyard includes a matching shed, and provides the perfect canvas to create your dream outdoor living area or further expand the home's footprint. Plus, the property is conveniently located near I-26, walkable to popular restaurants, shops and parks, and near the upcoming (hopefully) Charleston Low-Line. So much potential!! Professional photos coming soon.
