Property Description
Welcome to 403 Sumter Street, a beautifully renovated Charleston Single in the heart of Downtown Charleston's vibrant Westside neighborhood. Combining historic Charleston charm with modern convenience, this thoughtfully redesigned property offers approximately 1,870 square feet in the main residence plus a detached 338-square-foot guest cottage, providing approximately 2,208 square feet of total living space.Originally built in 1935 and extensively renovated down to the studs in 2021, this turnkey property features major system updates, including the roof, HVAC, water heaters, plumbing, electrical, and high-end interior finishes throughout.The main home offers a highly desirable and flexible floor plan with two potential primary suites - one on the main level and one upstairs - making it ideal for multigenerational living, guests, roommates, or evolving household needs.
