Property Description

''UPDATE: New roof installed 10/8/21 includes 15yr transferable warranty.Welcome to ''The Charleston Good House''. In its most recent incarnation this home doubled as a private residence and a gathering spot for the non-profit community. The spirit of giving back to the community can still be felt as one enters the home. Nestled in historic Harleston Village on the southernmost tip of Historic Downtown Charleston between Beaufain and Broad streets, you're only steps away from Charleston Harbor and the city Marina. Enjoy hours of recreation from the local city amenities nearby, including a renovated playground, tennis, basketball and pickleball courts. Allthe beauty of Charleston's newly refurbished Colonial Lake can be enjoyed as you stroll along its path. Recent street improvements include a new storm-drain right next door and a Greenway lit by lantern-style street lights connecting Moultrie Park to St. Mary's Field. Entertaining surely was on the designer's mind when this unique home was built. The kitchen is centrally located, creating a great flow from the wide front veranda room into the dining area and out to the rooftop deck. A dozen large picture windows catch the harbor breezes, keeping the area cool. Curl up to a warm fire in the library with built-in bookshelves. A repurposed owner's suite with separate entry extends the downstairs. In its present use as a recreational area more bookshelves and additional storage are a plus. This fourth bedroom with bath can easily be returned to its original use, and it has its own off-street parking spot. Three other driveway parking spots and a full garage allow for flexible usage. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, each with its own spacious closet, multiple windows, and a shared bath. Good sized rooms all can accommodate queen sized beds in addition to larger dressers, a pleasant surprise for this vintage build. In addition to everything this home offers in way of location and size there is also access to a carpeted attic under the eaves. This 363 square foot bonus room is not included in the 3016 sf of the 'livable" space. The upper room is accessed by a retractable staircase, making a alternative storage area or a play area, with a water view. Owners will cover closing costs up to $10K to allow for post-sale upgrades of your choice. Take a look, you will be delighted.
