A rare opportunity to own one of downtown Charleston's most charming historic Craftsman-style homes. Nestled on a quiet street in an X flood zone, 116 Magnolia Ave seamlessly blends timeless 1940s character with modern luxury. Following a meticulous renovation and restoration in 2022, the owners have since completed additional high-end improvements from 2023 to 2025, ensuring every detail has been thoughtfully upgraded. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom gem is just a short stroll from the future Lowcountry Lowline, Hampton Park, and some of Charleston's most sought-after restaurants--a prime location that makes this home even more exceptional.Step through the restored original front door into the light-filled sunporch, the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The spacious living room features beautiful original windows and a classic brick fireplace, seamlessly connecting to the formal dining room through original glass pocket doors. The fully renovated kitchen is a showstopper, boasting marble countertops, a 30" Bertazzoni gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Elica vented range hood, brass fixtures, and locally sourced crystal cabinet hardware. The original wood-framed picture windows bathe the space in natural light while a ceramic heat-reducing film enhances energy efficiency. A door leads directly to the wraparound backyard deck, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining. Two large bedrooms feature custom window treatments. The third bedroom, perfect for a home office or nursery, connects to the stunning ensuite bath with vaulted ceilings, a marble-tiled shower, quartz countertops, and designer fixtures. Off this space, the renovated laundry room includes soapstone counters, built-ins, and an exterior door leading to the backyard deck. The hall bath features the original refinished cast iron clawfoot tub/shower and a vintage wall sink showcasing the original character of the home. Outside, the backyard landscaping has been completely refreshed, offering a serene retreat in the heart of downtown. The newer deck features a custom outdoor shower and a 1938 cast iron gardening sink, adding to the home's historic charm. A large storage shed provides ample space for storage or could be transformed into a backyard entertaining structure or even an ADU. With its prime location, modern updates, and timeless charm, 116 Magnolia Ave is truly a one-of-a-kind home in downtown Charleston. Don't miss this rare opportunity!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
