38 Poplar St, Charleston, SC 29403

On the most sought-after street in downtown Charleston's North Central neighborhood, this move-in ready, two-story 1935 Craftsman is a rare find. Renovated to the studs in 2017, this light-filled home maintains its period charm while offering a thoughtfully updated floor plan that lives larger than the official square footage might suggest. From the full front porch, enter though the original front door to the bright and open first story. Original hardwood floors have been stained a beautiful rich brown to complement the bright interior, crown moulding, custom plantation shutters, and the decorative fireplace and mantle. The sprawling island with pendant lighting and bar seating, marble countertops, and stainless appliances make the kitchen as beautiful as it is functional. At the rear of the home is a laundry and mudroom addition which leads to a back deck and beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard. A dining room, pantry, and a roomy half bath complete the first floor. The beautiful light, hardwood floors, and crown molding continue as you head upstairs. There, you'll find three bedrooms, including a roomy primary suite with dual closets, dual bath vanity, and a large walk-in shower. The two other secondary bedrooms (one larger, one smaller) share a hall bath, which features charming penny tile floors and classic subway tile surrounding the tub. The updates to this 1930's home are not just aesthetic in nature. The 2017 renovation included all new systems including new oversized windows, new HVAC, new tankless water heater, and more. A driveway to the right of the house offers off-street parking. From this convenient location, walk, bike, or golf cart to explore Charleston's burgeoning upper peninsula restaurant scene and Hampton Park, all within half a mile of this centrally located home. Unlike so many renovated historic homes that have been stripped of their period charm, this home has the character and curb appeal of an older home with the convenience of updated systems and a floor plan suited for modern life. Don't miss this updated North Central classic.
