This beautiful grand home built in 1882 sits on nearly an acre (partially wooded) in the heart of Charleston. Let your imagination go wild as you convert this back to a single family home. This structure was converted to 4 apartments in the mid 50's by putting up a few walls. The main floorplan remains in place and with many of the feature still intact including both interior staircases, and stained glass windows . There are four bedrooms upstairs ( one with a fireplace) and a sunroom, plus access to a walk up 3rd floor attic. On the main level there seems to have been 2 parlors, living room, dining room, a bedroom, kitchen, 2 Beautiful fireplaces, tall ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, and perhaps some other hidden gems. Exterior of house includes sections of fish scales, front cedar shingles, and ribbed trim. Seller requires that the dwelling be converted to an Owner Occupied Single Family Dwelling, which will comply with the present R-1 Zoning District.
5 Bed 4 Bath 2,830 Sq Ft 0.97 Ac.
