Situated in the heart of Harleston Village, just blocks from historic downtown Charleston, this remarkable residence dates back to 1836 and proudly holds a place on the National Register of Historic Places. Ideally located just four blocks from MUSC, the College of Charleston, and the Marina, it offers unmatched convenience and an enviable lifestyle. The original wrought-iron fence still graces the front yard, along with the original brick walkway leading to the entrance. Constructed of brick with a classic stucco overlay, the home showcases timeless architectural details such as stately Tuscan columns and full double piazzas, while a lush, landscaped yard enhances its curb appeal. Inside, a versatile layout includes a main residence and a private in-law suite,each with its own separate entrance. Around the back, the second level dwelling is accessed via a private entry and features original heart pine flooring, tall ceilings, and an abundance of natural light. Inside you'll find two bedrooms, a formal living room that can also function as an additional bedroom, two full bathrooms, a sunny kitchen, and a formal dining room. The front piazza on this level offers a serene view of the street, while the rear porch overlooks the tranquil backyard, making it an ideal space to relax and enjoy the Lowcountry breeze. On the main level, the in-law suite continues the home's tradition of character and warmth with high ceilings and plenty of light. This level includes a living room, a primary bedroom with an en suite bath, a flex room that can serve as a bedroom or office, an additional bedroom, a half bath, a kitchenette, a laundry area, and a mudroom. Step into the large backyard to find a beautifully landscaped oasis complete with new sod, an underground irrigation system, and another brick walkway. The expansive outdoor space provides ample room for entertaining or quiet enjoyment, which is an exceptionally rare find among downtown properties. A convenient storage shed provides additional utility. Recent updates include fresh interior paint, three new HVAC systems installed in 2022, and two new water heaters, also added in 2025. This one-of-a-kind property blends historic charm with modern updates and a location that simply can't be beat.
