Overview

Built in 1895, this impressive Victorian is in the highly desirable Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood, just steps away from many popular restaurants and vintage stores. This house boasts a fantastic location just a block from MUSC and Ashley Hall. It is convenient to Upper King Street and Colonial Lake. The house has recently been completely renovated into a spacious 3-bedroom main house with the great benefit of a separate legal, 1-bedroom short-term rental unit. The main house space is set up for modern living with its open kitchen plan, 3 large bedrooms, and all new 3.5 baths.This historic home enjoys heart pine and mahogany flooring, a beautifully appointed kitchen with mudroom and powder room, and brand new contemporary bathrooms with smart toilets, and a freestanding whirlpool tub and a Bluetooth waterfall/rain shower in the primary.Situated on a corner lot, this house is full of natural light thanks to the large windows and 11-foot ceilings. The house retains much of its historic details, including fireplaces, floors, mantels, doors, and trim. To the rear of the home, behind the historic brick walls with decorative ironwork, is a spacious driveway that can accommodate up to 3 cars.There is a rear porch off the parking area with an entrance into the mudroom of the primary house, as well as a discrete, separate entrance to the first-floor, 1-bedroom apartment. You can use this as a fourth bedroom, mother-in-law suite, or enjoy the benefits of a legal short-term rental. The separate unit boasts the same high ceilings and a ton of natural light from its huge windows. The kitchen is everything you need, with brand new cabinets and appliances, plus enough space for a comfortable living/dining arrangement. The grand primary bedroom features its own luxuriously appointed bath with double vanities, smart toilets, and a beautifully tiled shower.With legal short-term rentals in high demand, and supply limited, this property offers the best of both options. One for enhanced rental income, or as a charming guest suite for friends and family.
