Charming home, feels new with the subway tiled shower. The fully renovated kitchen has granite counters and full size stainless steel appliances despite the diminutive foot print of the kitchen space. There is even overhang for seating (stools)...
opposite the sink and dishwasher. There is a private outdoor space behind the house which is located very close to I26, Meeting St. and access to the Ravenel bridge.
