This traditional 1866-built home offers 1,850 square feet of living space just blocks from downtown Charleston and Jefferson School. A welcoming concrete front porch introduces the main level of the home boasting a functional design. Here you will find a spacious living room, a full bathroom, a rear bedroom, and a versatile dining room or family room. The kitchen features updated wood cabinetry and a refrigerator is included. Still on the main level there is a separate dedicated laundry room which is equipped with a washer and dryer. Hardwood floors potentially await discovery beneath the main-level carpeting. Upstairs features two additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a convenient dual-access walk-in closet. Balancing historic character with critical updates, the property received a comprehensive overhaul around 2012, including kitchen cabinetry, new vinyl siding, aluminum-covered soffits, and an upgraded 200-amp electrical panel. Outside, a partially fenced backyard features a practical metal storage shed, complemented by a driveway for off street parking and extra guest parking along Jefferson Avenue. The sellers prefer to sell the home as-is. Come see the potential today!
