A spacious eat-in kitchen flows effortlessly into a full side porch--perfect for enjoying Charleston evenings.Energy efficiency meets charm, with spray-foam insulation throughout, a new HVAC system (2024), and a tankless water heater. Enjoy morning coffee on the wide front piazza, or take advantage of the extra-wide tabby and brick driveway offering tandem parking for two vehicles.

Whether you're looking for a charming primary residence, stylish pied-à-terre, or income-producing 30+ day rental (previously rented furnished for $5,500/month +), this historic home checks every box. This unique property is truly a must-see where timeless character meets smart design and unbeatable location. Located within walking distance to MUSC, Hampton Park, and some of Charleston's best dining and shopping, with easy access to I-26.
