Its open floor plan features a renovated kitchen with bamboo cabinetry, beautiful stone countertops and stainless steel appliances, flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas, complete with a convenient half bath for guests. The expansive master suite boasts an en-suite bathroom, a private office or sitting area, and exclusive access to a spacious upstairs piazza stretching 6 feet wide by 25 feet long. A second bedroom offers its own en-suite bathroom, while both the upstairs and downstairs piazzas provide ample outdoor space for enjoying Charleston's charm. The standout feature is the half basement, a versatile flex space with custom built-ins and an entertainment center, perfect as a gym, game room, additional bedroom, or even a potential apartment for extra income. In-ceiling speakers and an integrated entertainment system elevate the home's modern appeal. In the rear, two 2-bedroom, 2-bath rental units generate strong tenant interest, connected to the main house by a charming courtyard walkway. A shared laundry room and two large storage areas add functionality and desirability. The current owner's meticulous care ensures the property is in great condition, minimizing maintenance costs and maximizing tenant satisfaction. The Eastside is a dynamic neighborhood buzzing with opportunity, soon to be amplified by the Morrison Yard project just 0.3 miles away. This $300 million development, featuring 380 luxury apartments, Class A office space, retail, and a Kimpton Hotel, is projected to generate a $1.4 billion economic impact by 2030, driving property values and rental demand.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
