Overview
270 Congress Street is a three bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home in the Hampton Park Terrace neighborhood on the Charleston peninsula. A true American classic, the home is an original Sears, Roebuck & Company ''kit home'' that was ordered by catalog, delivered to Charleston via the railways and built in 1920. The craftsman-style bungalow, situated on a quiet street, has an inviting front porch overlooking stately live oaks. Beautiful Charleston elements have been added over the years, including an original Philip Simmons wrought iron gate with decorative swords and a Jasmine-lined fence that welcomes you into the front yard. The fully enclosed backyard is perfect for gardening, playing and entertaining.The 2,097 square foot light-filled interior boasts 9'+ ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors and original decorative moldings. Renovations to modernize the home were mindfully crafted with the aim of preserving the detail and character of the home. The front door opens to the formal living room, which is anchored by a stunning fireplace with brick surround. The adjacent formal dining room is large and opens to the kitchen, which has been updated with hardwood cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. An additional update to the historic home includes a large addition off the kitchen that could serve as a family room or den with room for casual dining or alternatively, an office or flex space. Upstairs, the home offers three bedrooms, including a sizable owner's suite with two closets. The bathroom has been beautifully renovated with a marble vanity and walk-in glass and tile shower. Unique to Charleston, 270 Congress Street has an approximate 350 square foot basement, which is perfect for a wine cellar, extra storage or a workshop space. Additional highlights include a new HVAC system that was installed in 2020 and a sizable driveway that can easily accommodate 3 to 4 cars, as well as a golf cart for exploring the neighborhood. Located in Hampton Park Terrace, residents here will easily enjoy the neighborhood's namesake park and its landscaped gardens, walking and cycling trails, and live oaks, as well as the lovely Allan Park just around the corner. The neighborhood is bordered by The Citadel and is within walking distance to the Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park where the Charleston RiverDogs minor league baseball team plays. Casual eateries and bars, including Harold's Cabin, Purlieu, Park Caf, Renzo and others are found throughout the area.
