Description
Nestled in one of Charleston's most sought-after neighborhoods, and just steps away from the Avondale commercial district, this quintessential 1940's cottage is perfect for all looking to call Charleston home.As you approach, the home draws you in with perfectly quaint curb appeal. A sprawling Magnolia tree, tabby style driveway and charming front porch break up the space and create an amazing Lowcountry setting.When entering the home, you are met with a cozy light-filled living room. Original hardwood floors and mid-century accents still dawn the space. To the left sit two sizable bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and reach-in closets. An efficient, hall accessed bathroom is located to the middle of the home and features a porcelain bathtub-shower combo, new pedestal sink and toilet. Lighting, water fixtures, beadboard walls, hanging mirror, medicine cabinet and plumbing were also recently upgraded here. To the right, you will find a dedicated dining room and galley style kitchen. Cabinetry and appliances were updated by previous ownership. Hardware, lighting and garbage disposal were addressed by current owners. Towards the back, you will find a sizable addition that sets the home apart from its two-bedroom peers, which currently serves as a second living space and office. Oversized windows slide to create an indoor/outdoor feel when desired, but all have been upgraded to vinyl double pained quality throughout the home. Washer & Dryer are conveniently located here near the rear exit. Stepping outside, you will find a tabby style patio and firepit island that create an intimate space for family and friends to gather and enjoy. A detached garage and carport are also located here for extra storage. The home features a metal roof and fully encapsulated crawlspace, allowing for less maintenance and more enjoyment. Byrnes Downs is a 1940's brick cottage community just minutes away from downtown Charleston. It has deep roots in Charleston's WWII-era history, with the homes originally serving as rentals for the Charleston Naval Shipyard workers. Homes were later sold to veterans and the neighborhood quickly developed a reputation of its own as a preferred bedroom community. Today, Byrnes Downs sits along the West Ashley Greenway, an 8-mile-long biking and walking trail that connects the area to other neighborhoods, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. The City of Charleston is set to link the greenway to the downtown peninsula with a newly approved pedestrian bridge spanning the Ashley River, ensuring continued access and further interest in the neighborhood for years to come. Do not miss your opportunity to own this amazing home in such a special location. Schedule your time to tour today!
