Property Description

Tucked away in the sought-after Wagener Terrace neighborhood of downtown Charleston, this beautifully renovated cottage sits on a rare double lot and lives like a private retreat. Showcasing classic Charleston architecture, the exterior preserves its timeless character, while inside, original details blend seamlessly with thoughtful modern updates. Offering more than 2,200 square feet of curated living space, the property includes a 3-bedroom, 2-bath main residence and a studio above the garage--ideal for guests, extended stays, or a sophisticated work-from-home lifestyle. The main home has been extensively reimagined while honoring its architectural roots.Original elements add warmth and authenticity, complemented by a fully redesigned primary suite featuring dual custom closets and a beautifully tiled bath. The kitchen, rebuilt to the studs, anchors the home as a natural gathering space with custom finishes and effortless flow for entertaining. The detached ADU further enhances the property, offering a heated and cooled one-car garage, private office with built-ins, half bath, and additional laundry on the main level, and an upstairs apartment complete with full kitchen and bath--perfect for hosting or creating a private retreat for visitors. Outdoor living is exceptional, and a double lot of this size is rare on the peninsula. The fully fenced yard creates a secluded compound featuring a newly added pool, custom pergola, brick fireplace, and private outdoor shower--delivering a truly retreat-like setting in the heart of downtown. Extensive improvements since 2018 include a new roof, updated plumbing and electrical, HVAC, encapsulated crawlspace, and more--resulting in a turnkey Charleston property where historic charm and modern living are thoughtfully balanced.
