Overview

Well loved home of a well known sculptor this sophisticated, elegant town house is set in easily maintained walled garden, South of Broad, with view of the Ashley River. Very Charleston. 1 block from the battery. Center hall floor plan. Well cared for wood floors, generous use of moldings. The rooms live bigger than the square footage of the home would suggest. Views of the Ashley River can be seen from the dining room and from the patio that adjoins the dining room. The living room is beautiful. It has a fire place, which is decorative only. Decorative fireplaces are a signature of the builder of ""FitzSimons townhouses"". The kitchen opens on to the family room which has charming French country home feel to it. A half bath and a laundry room complete the first floor. The second floor has a study or tv room at the front of the house. Lot of built-in shelving both with doors and without. A good size bedroom looks out over the back of the house. These two rooms connected by a full bath. Also, on this floor is the master bedroom that runs from the front of the house to the back --- a spacious room with bath. The third floor has a full bath and 2 bedrooms . One of the bedrooms the current owner uses as a studio. The lighting and number of windows make this a perfect artist's studio. The accompanying video tells the story. The home is set well back off the road and has 2 off- street parking spaces. White Point Gardens is very close by. Good place for walking the dog and watching the water birds, and the boats as they go up and down the Ashley River. There is garage under the home - low ceiling but room enough for 2 cars. Plenty of storage there too. Easy to show with little notice required.
