Listing Details

Wonderful Charleston Single Family home in the heart of downtown Charleston. This home is one of 4 originally constructed circa 1880 homes by Miss Laura Martelle. Homes at 9, 11, 13, and 15 Savage were all designed in the Italiante style with bracketed cornices. This home has been owned and occupied for the past 40 years by a local Charlestonian. Very few changes to the original style of the home have been made over these many years. This home sits on a wonderful deep lot with a lovely garden area. It boasts working wood burning fireplaces in the downstairs formal living room and formal dining room. There is also a wood burnig fireplace in the upstairs den/study, but it was closed up some time ago, so it is not known if it is still in working condition. All of the floors are original heart pine floors, and the vinyl put down in the upstairs bedroom was done to protect the wood underneath as this room was being used as a studio. Large open kitchen overlooking the garden with laundry conveniently located in this area as well. There is a separate formal dining room as well as room for dining in the kitchen. This home could be someone's perfect dream home--wonderful heart pine wood floors, spacious rooms with lovely wood details throughout and 10+ foot ceilings, wood burning fireplaces, private garden space, full front porch, offstreet parking, and located on a great community street South of Broad!!! Please note that all appliances and fireplaces are being conveyed at closing "as is."
