Beautifully restored solid brick charming 1785 kitchen house tucked privately behind iconic King Street, in the residential South of Broad neighborhood of Historic downtown Charleston. This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home includes a delightful private walled courtyard with fountain under the canopy of a gran...d oak tree. There is a copper roofed garden storage building and 2 off-street parking spaces. Inside, exposed brick walls with wood headers, heart pine floors, and wood ceilings exude historic charm. To the front of the home is the living room with a relined wood/gas fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinetry. The owner is an architect and has maximized every bit of storage in the home. A trap door to the encapsulated concrete floored basementleads under the house, perfect for a wine cellar. The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances including a JennAir gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The cabinetry has just been painted and features soft close doors and pullout drawers. The kitchen has a passthrough to the dining room that opens the whole first floor up for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a small sitting area, walk-in closet, convenient stacked laundry closet, and an elegant marble bath with beautiful tile work overlooking the garden below. The front bedroom has a working fireplace and utilizes another full bath in the hall. Pulldown stairs lead to the attic, which is floored for extra storage space. The main house at 84 King Street was built in 1785 and the estate included typical dependency outbuildings. The property currently numbered 84 ½ King Street was originally a separate kitchen, as evinced by the foundations for 2 large fireplaces still extant in the crawlspace. These would have been used for cooking and laundry. The kitchen likely dates from before the early 19th century. It was brought down during the great earthquake of 1886 and now sports the iconic earthquake bolts of many historic downtown Charleston buildings. In 2008, it was completely renovated by well-known and respected builder Harper J. Finucan, under the watchful eye of the BAR. Today, the home is immaculate, with all new electrical and plumbing - even including sewer lines to the street. The interior and exterior brick has been repointed. The concrete crawlspace is encapsulated and has a sump pump and dehumidifier - even though the home is high and dry. It also has is a water booster pump for extra water pressure. Interior and exterior windows, trim, and fully functional shutters are freshly painted as well. Start living the ultimate Charleston experience, just blocks from Rainbow Row, White Point Garden and The Battery, and world-famous King Street shopping and dining at 84 ½ King Street.
