Listing Details

As the 2019 Charleston Symphony Designer Showhouse, this elegant Victorian home has had a dazzling make-over. A bright new kitchen, refinished floors, master suite with a sleek new marble bathroom, stunning new guest bathroom, and fresh paint throughout the home have all contributed to a total transformation of the property. South of Broad, this home offers everything that is hard to find downtown - large yard, lots of parking, plenty of storage...and at a bargain price. With 4,778 sq. ft. and 5-6 bedrooms, 16 Rutledge works brilliantly for all types of families and is especially magical for children. It's equally great for empty nesters and for those who enjoy house guests. In fact, its appeal extends to anyone seeking a lovely updated home in historic downtown Charleston.This block is a really great neighborhood - everyone is friendly! Each Autumn the street is closed off for one night for the neighbors' block party. The street is filled with tables of food, music, and fun. Colonial Lake, always busy with dog walkers, strollers, sunbathers, and neighbors, is just a few doors away. Next to Colonial Lake is Moultrie Playground with free City tennis courts, basketball, and a children's playground. The Battery along the Ashley River is 3 short blocks south. Life at 16 Rutledge is as peaceful or as vibrant as you choose. The house is high and no storm water has ever been in. The lot is private and has room for a pool and/or possibly a garage. This is truly downtown living at its BEST. Come see for yourself! There is a website - use the street address.
