Located in the heart of Charleston's coveted Harleston Village, this thoughtfully renovated residence offers a rare combination of scale, functionality, and walkable downtown living--complete with the added convenience of two off-street parking spaces. Spanning approximately 2,440 square feet, the home features five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, with exceptionally generous living spaces designed to accommodate both everyday living and entertaining. A full studs-out renovation completed in 2017 seamlessly blends modern updates with the character and charm expected of a historic Charleston property. The interior is anchored by an open-concept kitchen and living space, complemented by wood flooring throughout and a layout that offers both flow and flexibility.The primary suite is well-appointed with dual vanities, while multiple additional bedrooms provide ample space for guests, work-from-home needs, or rental versatility. The home's scale and configuration also present the opportunity to further enhance or reimagine the primary suite, allowing future owners to create a more expansive, private retreat tailored to their lifestyle. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with three distinct porch spaces--including a large front porch and a second-floor screened porch--alongside a private, fenced backyard with a covered patio designed for entertaining or quiet retreat. A metal roof (2017) adds long-term durability and peace of mind. Positioned just approximately two blocks from both MUSC and the College of Charleston, the home offers immediate access to King Street's premier shopping and dining, as well as nearby Marion Square, known for its green space, farmers market, and year-round events--placing some of the city's best amenities just moments away. Currently operating as an income-producing property with established rental history, this offering presents a compelling opportunity for investors and owner-occupants alike seeking a well-located, high-performing asset in one of Charleston's most desirable neighborhoods.
Harleston Village, located between Broad Street and the Ashley River, is a historic and residential Charleston neighborhood with a leafy streetscape and a waterfront edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Colonial Lake and the Meeting Street corridor, where joggers circle the water beside porch-lined blocks and small cafes. The Battery and White Point Garden frame the southern end with grand piazza houses and harbor views. The Charleston Music Hall and the Gaillard Center add a cultural pulse near the northern edge. Brick sidewalks, wrought-iron gates, and deep setbacks define the architecture. Parks and water views shape a walk-first rhythm.
