Property Description
They say when buying real estate, it's all about location. Then welcome to 1 Aiken Street, a classic Charleston-Single located in a unique section of the historic part of the city formally known as Hampstead Village, but modern-day referred to as the Eastside. It is the only Burrough of Charleston laid out in a traditional English town model with parks and commons. This home is one of eight original homes located on the oldest publicly dedicated Park in all of the city. Currently, the Charleston Parks Department has announced plans to move forward on upgrades for Hampstead Mall Park to include Wi-Fi, improved landscaping, and a small soccer arena added to the southeast quadrant, to name a few.As you approach this circa 1850's Charleston Single, you will notice its bold color and style standing out from the rest. In 2006 the home underwent significant restoration being the first home on the Eastside to win the prestigious Carolopolis Award for Preservation. After receiving a hip but timeless 2021 facelift throughout, this piece of history will enjoy its next 150 years in elegant modern style. As you enter, you step into a stunning foyer; you can't help but notice the clean open modern design. You will be instantly blown away with the open floorplan that flows nicely throughout the first floor, offering a large living, kitchen, and dining room combination. Also, the first floor offers a full bath and bedroom/library with room to comfortably add a half bath. Moving up the modern staircase, you will find a generous guest suite with a beautiful closet you don't find in a Charleston Single. The guest suite and master retreat are separated by the laundry closet and open mezzanine with access to the second-floor piazza. Finally, the owner's suite won't disappoint you offering generous space and high-end finishes while also giving you private access to the second-floor piazza.
Last but not least, after heading back downstairs and outside, you will find a professionally hardscaped courtyard with extras like period iron driveway gates, green privacy walls for low exterior lawn maintenance, and a custom stormwater drainage system with a backflow preventer. All this and more makes 1 Aiken Street a perfect lock and leave home for part-time or full-time residents. The owner is a licensed SC real estate agent. The property is now in a AE 10 Flood Zone with a BFE of 11.3ft. Current USAA Flood Policy is $350.00 per year.
Shower Curb and Framles Glass Showers to be installed in a week. The wrong stove was delivered and will be changed out. The HVAC systems will be changed before closing. This has been the owners and listing agents personal home for 15 years.
