Description

Nestled in one of Charleston's most sought after communities, and just steps away from the Avondale commercial district, this quintessential 1940's cottage is perfect for all looking to call Charleston home. As you approach, the home draws you in with perfectly quaint curb appeal, white brick and low-profile front entry. Window boxes and Charleston Green shutters complement the mature oak trees and age-brushed walkways that line the streets, creating a timeless Lowcountry setting. The home has added square footage multiple times over the years and boasts large upgrades from current ownership such as a new roof (2022), fully encapsulated crawlspace (2023), all new hardwood floors (2023), remodeled walk-in closet and converted mudroom with side-by-side washer dryer. The endless charm and thought-out functionality truly allow the home to stand out from its peers. Upon entering, you are greeted with a cozy light-filled living room. Recessed lighting, crown molding and 1940's accents create a very inviting space. Lining the front of the home, you will find the two guest bedrooms. One has been enjoyed as an at-home office, while the other has been set aside for frequent visitors. At the end of the adjoining hallway, you will find the full guest bathroom with porcelain bathtub-shower combo and pedestal sink. The dining room is also accessed off the hallway, with the entry recently expanded, providing for more space to enjoy a sit-down meal with family and friends. The owners' suite is truly one of a kind with timeless wainscoting, wood-stained ceiling fan, and the utmost privacy. An ensuite primary bathroom also touts a dual vanity topped with glass sinks, a standing shower, semi-private water closet and overhead lighting. Closet space is plentiful with dual reach-ins and an additional walk-in that leads to the back of the home. Attic space is also plentiful above, with room for more occupied space at the future owners' discretion. The chef's kitchen is a rare find. The glass pendant light fixtures and stainless-steel appliances create a clean natural feel, while the endless counter space, free standing kitchen island and ample cabinetry punch well above their weight for the neighborhood. Enjoy a quick bite at the kitchen island before starting your day or move freely while preparing a larger meal with loved ones. Towards the back of the home, you will find the converted mudroom complete with side-by-side washer dryer, as well as access to the backyard showcasing an Ipe deck with built-in bench, paver-style patio and bonus shed. The gravel space, large oak tree and exterior string lighting create an amazing setting for entertaining large gatherings or simply relaxing with family and friends. Byrnes Downs is a 1940's brick cottage community just minutes away from downtown Charleston. It has deep roots in Charleston's WWII-era history, with the homes originally serving as rentals for the Charleston Naval Shipyard workers. Homes were later sold to veterans and the neighborhood quickly developed a reputation of its own as a preferred bedroom community. Today, Byrnes Downs sits along the West Ashley Greenway, an 8-mile-long biking and walking trail that connects the area to other neighborhoods, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores. The City of Charleston is set to link the greenway to the downtown peninsula with a newly approved pedestrian bridge spanning the Ashley River, ensuring continued access and further interest in the neighborhood for years to come.
