Privately positioned on 1.21 wooded acres in South Hills, this single-owner brick residence was built by J. D. Stricklen and offers exceptional space, privacy and craftsmanship. Main-level living is possible, with two additional floors providing impressive versatility. With no homes directly across the street and a wooded backdrop, the setting feels remarkably private. The open plan showcases hardwood floors, detailed millwork, generous living and dining areas, and a well-appointed kitchen with abundant cabinetry. Expansive primary suites on both the main and upper levels feature oversized bedrooms, spacious baths and exceptional closet space, while secondary bedrooms also offer large closets. The third floor is ideal for a media room, home office or recreation space. A large rear deck, main-level laundry, broad driveway, two-car garage and access to top-rated schools complete this distinctive home, conveniently located near shopping, dining and downtown Charleston.
