This grand 1930's Craftsman on Rutledge Avenue has been completely restored to last a lifetime. Every possible attention to detail has been put into the recent renovation of this home. Walking in the front door of this home feels warm, inviting, and modern but with that old Charleston charm. The open floor plan with a lighted vaulted shiplap ceiling and gourmet kitchen are perfect for entertaining. The front porch and back porch and large backyard add additional living space beyond the nearly 2000 square feet of interior square feet. Upon entering the home you are greeted by a spacious living area with a gas fireplace and exposed brick walls that are two layers thick. The living area also benefits from vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and historic window headers.The kitchen flows seamlessly off this area with a custom brick backsplash, oversized gas range with custom hood above, a farmhouse sink on a dine in island that is perfect for entertaining. The hardware and the light fixtures and the trim finishes through these areas clearly blend design and style intertwined with timeless elegance. The rest of the home has 4 bright and spacious bedrooms with each bedroom in this home is furnished with it's own bathroom. The bedrooms all feature hand made custom closets and spectacular, modern bathrooms. Towards the rear of the home are a set of double doors leading out into a perfectly landscaped, lighted back yard and custom patio deck. The private owner's suite is upstairs and maintains the vaulted, exposed beams theme of the living area downstairs. The luxuriously appointed master bath is beautiful and comes with a soaking tub and shower along with double vanities. Outside you will be amazed at the herringbone walkway and driveway that was laid with Charlestonian style hand-made bricks. The original iron gate was also kept to give the home that old Rutledge aesthetic and to add security and charm. The driveway has ample room for multiple cars and a golf cart off street for your convenience. During the renovation of this home, almost nothing was left untouched. Some of the key aspects of 2020 improvements to the home include: new roof, new electrical, new plumbing, new HVACs and duct work, new windows, new sheet rock, new flooring, almost everything in this home was renovated. There's a new custom privacy fence, and matching rear deck as well. The home has been meticulously maintained since then and is in true turn key shape. Come experience what Downtown Charleston living is like, this home is perfectly placed with Hampton Park a block away, and landmarks like the Ravenel Bridge and I-26 merely a mile away. the College of Charleston as well as a short drive to Mount Pleasant and the local beaches put this Wagener Terrace home in the perfect location.
Wagener Terrace, located between Hampton Park and the Ashley River, is a residential and historic Charleston neighborhood with a park-side setting and a low-rise, porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hampton Park loop at Rutledge Avenue, where joggers, dog-walkers, and picnic blankets share the shade of live oaks. Early-20th-century bungalows and cottage-style homes sit along a tidy street grid, giving daily walks a consistent rhythm. Hampton Park anchors the outdoor calendar with lagoons, paths, and seasonal blooms. Nearby, The Citadel adds parade-ground pageantry and a steady campus pulse. For local staples, Lewis Barbecue, Revelry Brewing Co., and The Harbinger Café & Bakery serve as familiar gathering points.
