A quaint, contemporary retreat, situated in the heart of downtown peninsular Charleston! This well-built, one-story home walks a delicate aesthetic tightrope, balancing clean contemporary lines / materials / finishes with local artistic flare + character. Enjoy an active, downtown lifestyle on a quiet, local street, but only steps away from The Harbinger Cafe & Bakery and Monarch Wine Merchants on King Street, and just two blocks northeast of Hampton Park!Originally constructed in 1945 and continually updated / upgraded through time, this versatile, open-configuration home features upgraded ceiling heights, tile flooring, granite kitchen counters, delicately preserved chimney stacks, and a newly-added custom 2nd bathroom under a metal roof and clad with fiber cement board siding. Its versatile, open floor plan could facilitate a wide variety of furniture arrangements, and the rear office / den / study / game-room could be utilized as a 3rd bedroom / owner's suite, depending on desired living configuration. The rear of the property features a private, secluded garden retreat complete with a detached workshop / shed & greenhouse, and this home's front covered porch is perfectly-sized / proportioned for taking a moment to pause & enjoy the first (or the last!) beverage of the day.
