Property Description
Opportunity meets location in the heart of downtown Charleston. Positioned just moments from Hampton Park and surrounded by some of the city's most beloved restaurants, colleges, and green spaces, this rare property offers a blank canvas in one of Charleston's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods. Originally configured as a duplex, this home is ready for its next chapter- offering the opportunity for a thoughtful restoration or renovation in accordance with applicable city guidelines and approvals. With the heavy lifting already begun, this is a chance for a visionary buyer to step in and bring new life to the property. The existing footprint provides a strong foundation for creative design, while off-street parking- a true downtown luxury- adds both value and convenience.
