About This Home
As of March 2023On a quiet street in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, 20 Short Street is a one-of-a-kind property.The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath property features a c.1880 meticulously restored classic Charleston single home, a new 2-story addition on the back of the home, and a new one-bedroom one-bathroom carriage house at the rear of the property. Between the main house and carriage house, the palm tree-lined yard feels like an oasis. The SieMatic kitchen, the sunroom, and the beautiful new primary suite on the second floor all overlook the lovely yard and carriage house.The kitchen is equipped with all Viking appliances and a charming gas fireplace. The laundry room off of the kitchen has SieMatic cabinetry, a full size Thermador wine refrigerator (87 bottles) and a built-in desk. Thekitchen opens to the sunroom, a bar with an ice maker and a beverage fridge, and the powder room.
The primary bedroom has a sunroom seating area, a walk-in closet, 2 additional closets, custom drapery, and motorized shades. The primary bathroom has a heated marble floor and Waterworks fixtures. The beautiful heart pine floor in the primary bedroom is made entirely from planks found beneath the old roof during the 2019 renovation.
The second floor guest room has its own new full bathroom with Waterworks fixtures.
The carriage house was built in 2019. It has a copper roof, vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, built-in storage, tankless water heater and a full bath. The carriage house is raised which provides ample storage below.
Additional interior features include built-in speakers throughout the house, original heart pine floors on the second floor, custom milled floors on the first floor from an 1880's barn, beadboard details, shiplap walls and ceilings, tankless water heaters, custom drapery, Forbes and Lomax light switches, and Circa lighting and fans throughout the two properties. Exterior features include landscape lighting, irrigation, a fountain, copper roofs and copper gas lanterns.
Only one block long, a half-block north of Broad Street, and three blocks from King Street, Short Street is one of the best kept secrets in Charleston! Ever-popular Queen St. Grocery is just around the corner, neighborhood favorite Burbage's Family Grocery is one block away, and beautiful Colonial Lake is just a 2-block stroll. 20 Short Street is truly walking distance to many of Charleston's restaurants, shops, and attractions.
