Rarely do you find a home that offers this combination of location, privacy, usable outdoor space, and flexibility in one of Charleston's most established neighborhoods. Just moments from the Bridge Road Shops, Carriage Trail, downtown Charleston, area hospitals, and top-rated schools, this home combines convenience with a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees. Beautiful hardwood floors flow throughout much of the home. The expansive primary bedroom creates a true retreat with room for a sitting area, workspace, or additional furnishings. The bright sunroom filled with natural light offers flexibility as additional living space, a home office, or a potential main-level primary bedroom. Outdoor spaces are a true highlight with a large flat front yard, a rare flat backyard, hot tub patio, and plenty of room for entertaining or play. Two garages, a large driveway, and an unfinished basement provide exceptional storage.

South Hills, located between Downtown Charleston and the Kanawha State Forest, is a residential and hillside Charleston neighborhood with winding ridge roads and broad valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bridge Road corridor near the South Hills Market area, where coffee counters, local eateries, and small storefronts line the street. Community pillars include South Hills Market, Lola’s Pizza, and the annual FestivALL events that spill into nearby venues downtown. Brick colonials and mid-century ranches sit on wooded lots, with stair-stepped streets that follow the terrain. Trails and overlooks shape daily routines, while the commute patterns flow across the South Side Bridge into the city core. Parks and school campuses add a steady, lived-in rhythm without feeling removed from Charleston’s cultural calendar.
