MLS# 1215497 | 202 Bennett Street Mount Pleasant SC | Old Village subdivision

This 1915 Victorian is the quintessential Old Village home. Built ""like they used to build them"", this 2 story-4 bedroom 3.5 bath home oozes with the charm and craftsmanship of yesteryear and is located on one of the best streets in Mt. Pleasant, if not all of Charleston. Tucked away on nearly half an acre, this home enjoys a very walkable neighborhood and is minutes from the wonderful village that makes up the original Mount Pleasant commercial district. It is almost a stones throw to the fresh seafood that is brought into Shem Creek each day by local fishermen and shrimpers. The wonderfully landscaped yard and wildly tamed garden epitomizes all of the reasons why the area is as sought after as it is. With an extra large, white picket-fenced yard, the shaded lot pulls you in, envelopingyou with a feeling of ""home"". This great property features: A large and full front porch, a grand foyer with the extensive signature details of the era, high ceilings in all of the rooms, gorgeous pine floors throughout the main rooms of the house, a large front parlor/living room with large light-filled windows, a separate dining room, several fireplaces, a large den/family room, a separate office, an updated (yet still very charming kitchen with original details), a powder room and easy access to the rear porch (which could be used to expand the kitchen if desired) and a fantastic rear yard complete with a 30'x15' saltwater pool with retractable cover. Even the large driveway is unique for the area. The extra deep lot is complete with a pergola/sitting area to enjoy the shade of summer. Moving upstairs, an architectuarally significant stairwell leads you to a nicely proportioned, sunny landing, 4 large bedrooms with high ceilings, and modernized baths designed with a careful blend of the period details that retain the charm this house has always had and a modern style you deserve like large glass showers and even a tankless propane water heater. This is a wonderful family home, and is one of the best offerings in the area due to it's uniquely large corner lot, the well proportioned rooms and the very well laid out floor plan. This home entertains well, and offers a true family lifestyle and environment. This is a must see home if you appreciate the finer details and wish to step back in time by living in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in all of Charleston. The restaurants, shopping, the vanilla floats at the Pitt Street Pharmacy, the 6 minute commute to downtownall speak volumes to the reason you should call this charming period piece ""home"".
