About This Home

This 2 bed, 1 bath home combines classic charm with practical perks—original hardwood floors, great natural light, and a gas stove in the kitchen. The front porch adds a welcoming touch, while the fenced-in backyard offers just enough space to enjoy without the upkeep.

You'll also find a spacious unfinished basement with washer/dryer hookups and plenty of storage room. The one-car garage is a great bonus, and the roof was updated about 15 years ago.

Conveniently located near Lincoln Avenue, you’re just minutes from Charleston’s go-to restaurants and shops. Currently tenant-occupied—ideal for investors or those planning ahead.
