About North

Central

North Central, located between Hampton Park and the Upper Peninsula, is a residential and arts-leaning Charleston neighborhood with a gridded street plan and a mix of restored cottages and newer infill. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Rutledge Avenue near Hampton Park, where porch-lined blocks meet coffee counters, small galleries, and casual eateries. Architectural cues range from Charleston single houses to compact bungalows, with deep lots and mature street trees shaping the streetscape. The park edge sets a daily rhythm of walking loops, picnic lawns, and seasonal events. Local pillars such as The Citadel’s campus, Hampton Park, and The Harbinger Cafe & Bakery help define the area’s cultural texture. A short ride south, the restaurant row energy of Upper King Street adds late-day buzz without changing the neighborhood’s quieter residential cadence.

This large duplex is in very good condition and has a very strong rental history. Both units each have 3 BR, 1.5 baths, 2 large living rooms, fully equipped kitchens, laundry rooms, and outdoor private porches. The backyard is completely fenced. Lots and lots of improvements have been done in recent years , including but not limited to a new roof in 2016, new attic insulation, gutted both full baths within the past 5 years to the studs and rebuilt, replaced the upstairs unit HVAC in 2016, and much much more. Great location and within walking distance to all that the upper peninsula has to offer.
