Structurally straightened and X flood zone-an increasingly rare advantage in one of Charleston's most desirable locations. Perfectly positioned on lower Tradd Street between King and Meeting, this classic Charleston Single blends historic charm with meaningful, high-quality improvements.Most notably, the home has undergone extensive structural enhancements, including professional foundation stabilization and correction of the historic ''Charleston lean.'' A structural engineer designed and executed new footings, reinforced floor joists, and carefully raised and leveled key portions of the home, including the front and west-facing walls. All impacted areas--walls, windows, and finishes--were meticulously repaired, resulting in a home that offers both historic character andmodern structural integrity. Inside, a gracious formal living room with fireplace welcomes you, leading to a separate dining room with built-in banquette seating--perfect for intimate gatherings. The spacious kitchen and adjoining sitting room open to a beautifully landscaped, private gated courtyard with multiple seating areas, ideal for entertaining or quiet outdoor living. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including two with ensuite baths. The primary suite features a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, while a conveniently located second-floor laundry adds everyday ease. Additional improvements--totaling approximately $115,000--include a new Wolf range and microwave, new washer/dryer (2025), complete sewer line replacement, new ductwork, updated copper exterior lighting, interior and exterior paint, repaired windows and woodwork, new siding and flashing, and refinished/replaced flooring. On-street parking for two vehicles is available via residential permits. A rare offering on iconic Tradd Street--where historic elegance meets the confidence of significant structural investment.
