About this home
Opportunity to purchase an 1852 Charleston single house and customize the final finishes. This historic property is currently undergoing a comprehensive restoration and renovation. Major structural and exterior improvements have already been permitted and completed, including a new roof, new siding, new windows, and newly constructed piazzas. All structural work beneath the home has been restored, ensuring a solid foundation for the renovation and providing the benefit of updated systems while preserving the character of the home.Inside has been stripped to the studs and framed for 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The thoughtfully-designed floor plan is centered around preserved historic architectural elements, including 4 original fireplaces and open-beamed ceilings. The main levelconsists of a front room with exposed brick gas fireplace that can be a formal living room, office, or third bedroom. The center room, which also features an exposed brick fireplace, would make an ideal dining room. It leads to a back room that will house an open concept kitchen and the main living area. A convenient laundry and mudroom, plus a full bath will also be on the first floor.
Upstairs, the primary suite at the rear of the house incudes an en suite full bath and walk-in closet. It opens to a private porch overlooking the back yard. A central flexible loft space and a second front bedroom each have an exposed brick fireplace. The bedroom accesses the second-floor piazza. They share a full hall bath.
The property does not require flood insurance; a new survey and flood elevation certificate are available in the documents. Off-street parking is available in front of the home as well as a side driveway. Both are rare and valuable features in the historic district. The large back yard is fully fenced-in.
The home is being offered for sale during the renovation process, with wide plank French oak flooring installation currently underway. Kitchen and bathroom layouts will be available soon. As construction progresses, the price will increase accordingly. Purchasing at this stage allows the buyer to select finishes such as colors, appliances, tile, and fixtures tailored to personal preferences, while benefiting from the completed structural work.
Islington Court is a residential street just off of Cannon Street, between President Street and Ashley Avenue.
