Overview
SOUTH OF BROAD with almost 3400 square feet and all of the charm you expect with a 1911' built Charleston Home. Multiple dedicated off-street parking spaces, a very large back yard, and original heart pine floors are just some of the excellent features of this South of Broad gem. The configuration is currently set up as a Duplex but the property could be converted back to a single family detached home with a few modifications. Deciding to make this house your home is the easy part! The difficulty comes when faced with what to do with the incredible opportunity in front of you. This three story home is currently set up as two, unique, three bedroom, and two bathroom units with one of the largest fenced-in backyards in the area. The structural bones are in place for you to create the custom home of your dreams or the current setup can satisfy your need for that perfect, private in-law suite you've been searching for. OR, after taking a look at the home's impressive rental history, you may lean towards investing in your future of positive cash flow! Regardless of which opportunity you choose to grab hold of, the location of this residence is bar none! Near-by Battery Park and Winter Garden Park offer views of Fort Sumter and are loaded with Civil War monuments. Shade from the gigantic oak trees allow for relief from the shinning sun and provide a visual of this area's rich history. You are also only steps from the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston's downtown business district, top-notch dining and incredible shopping. Colonial Lake is just down the street and the peninsula gives you plenty of places to go in order to enjoy the views and breeze of the water. The house does need TLC. The owners installed Drop-Ceilings when they were the fad in the 70's, but they could be removed and converted back to smooth ceilings. The kitchen wing was added around the same time and is separating from the house in the back which will require some repair. And the front porch has a lean on the left side. However, the bones are in great shape, the floors and walls look square and true to their original angles, and the original floors and charm of the house are all still there. With the right buyer, this wonderful South of Broad property will shine like the true Charleston masterpiece it really is. Buy today and continue to rent for $4100/month for a few years, and then move in. Making this retreat your home puts you in the heart of it all while remaining convenient to major roadways. Many homes claim to hold the key to potential and opportunity, but come take a look for yourself and you will see that this is the real deal!
