557 Rutledge Ave Charleston, SC 29403

Historic charm and high ground upper peninsula living merge in this Westside Charleston Single House. Set back from the street, the home is brimming with curb appeal, with a welcoming front walk leading to an iconic Charleston home. Inside is a light-filled, open floor plan with gorgeous original heart pine floors and corner/two-sided fireplaces (non-functional). At the rear of the home are the kitchen, an under-stair half bath, and a back door leading to a spacious and private, fenced backyard. Upstairs, in addition to two bedrooms and two full baths, there is a small laundry closet with a stacked washer/dryer, and the landing at the top of the stairs is roomy enough to function as a small office nook. From the bedroom at the front of the home is a door to the upper piazza, which overlooks the front yard and driveway. With off-street parking (room for multiple cars, stacked), leave your cars at home and enjoy exploring Hampton Park and uptown's dining scene on foot or by bike. The home is also within easy biking distance to the College of Charleston and the Medical University of South Carolina. For those who wish to venture a little further, this central Rutledge Avenue location makes it a breeze to zip to historic downtown, King Street, or over the bridges and to area beaches. The current owners have lovingly maintained the home during their ownership including a full exterior repaint in 2021. If location and character are high on your list, don't miss this charming and classically Charleston home. Property sold as is.
