Property Description
Victorian Elegance Meets Modern Luxury - with Income Potential in Downtown Charleston. Step into timeless Charleston charm with this one-of-a-kind 1895 Victorian in the heart of Downtown's sought-after Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. Just blocks from MUSC, Ashley Hall, Upper King Street, and Colonial Lake, this residence blends historic elegance with thoughtful, high-end renovations. Offering 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 3,064 square feet, the home showcases original heart pine floors, soaring 11-foot ceilings, multiple fireplaces, oversized windows, and coveted off-street parking for 4 vehicles. Adding to its appeal is a fully licensed short-term rental unit with private entrance, ideal for generating income or hosting extended guests. The centerpiece of the home is a spectacular reimagined kitchen that marries form and function. Completely redesigned, it now boasts quadruple the storage and double the counter space, with diamond cabinetry, unlacquered brass Rohl faucets, Creations Bird hardware, a workstation sink with integrated accessories, and 17 drawers designed for every conceivable culinary tool. Black-and-white marble flooring, full-height marble and granite backsplash, Hoodsly vent hood, and top-tier KitchenAid and BlueStar appliances bring a chef's dream to life. The island offers casual seating, while the adjacent bar, complete with moody stone counters, illuminated glass cabinets, and a second full-size sink, creates an entertainer's haven. Every detail, from the Visual Comfort lighting to the custom pantry systems and artful display niches, reflects masterful design and Charleston sophistication. Beyond the kitchen, thoughtful upgrades span the home: new HVAC and ductwork (2023), updated electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and appliances (2022), fresh interior paint, custom wallpaper, molding, trim, and all-Visual Comfort lighting throughout. The mudroom and laundry spaces were reconfigured for style and function, and the exterior hardscape and driveway improvements make city living effortless. The legal short-term rental suite offers its own living/dining area, full kitchen, spacious bedroom, and luxury bath with double vanities and a smart toilet, perfect for guests, an au pair, or as a proven income stream. With high ceilings, large windows, and the same architectural character carried throughout, the suite feels private yet seamlessly connected to the home. This property is a rare opportunity: historic charm, modern luxury, investment potential, and a location that defines Charleston living. Words hardly capture its character, you truly must experience it in person.
