About this home
Beautifully reimagined and thoughtfully renovated, this downtown Charleston home offers a refined blend of timeless character, sophisticated modern finishes, and an exceptional Hampton Park location.From the moment you step inside, the home feels bright, polished, and effortlessly inviting. Abundant natural light highlights the beautiful heart pine floors, crisp neutral palette, and thoughtfully selected finishes throughout. Original 1930s details, including the staircase and fireplace mantle, preserve the home’s historic character. While the open layout creates an easy flow for both everyday living and entertaining.At the heart of the home, the kitchen makes an immediate impression. White cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized island, stainless steel ZLINE appliances, a 36″ gas range, designer lighting, and warm brass accents come together to create a space that feels both elevated and approachable. Every detail of the renovation has been considered to give the home a cohesive, timeless aesthetic.
The bedrooms offer light filled retreats, while the beautiful bathrooms continue the home’s refined design with stylish tilework, modern vanities, brass fixtures, and a glass enclosed shower. Outside, the covered front porch provides a quintessential Charleston welcome, enhanced by gas lanterns that complement the home’s historic charm, while off street parking adds an increasingly coveted convenience to downtown living.

Riley Jr. Park, or enjoy the growing collection of dining, shopping, fitness, and everyday conveniences at WestEdge.
