MLS# 20032007 | 779 Rutledge Avenue Charleston SC | Wagener Terrace subdivision

779 Rutledge Avenue is a fabulous example of a Charleston 4 square home complete with an expansive full front porch. Coming off a long term investment ownership, this home was always well maintained with the idea that the seller would eventually move in. Plans have changed, and this beautiful Wagener Terrace home is now being offered for sale. Currently configured as a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home, with not just 1 but, 2 kitchens (one up and one down), this home needs very little to make it a true single family dwelling once again. This home is graced with magnificent hardwood floors and bright rooms with 10 ft ceilings, that make the home feel much larger than it is. Many original architectural features still remain, including the transom windows above the interior doors, and a total of 3 fireplaces (non functional). These features throughout the home were preserved with great care. Some of the original interior doors simply have sheet rock over for the maximization of bedrooms and wall space while it was used as a long term rental property. The most intriguing space would be the (now covered) pocket doors between the living and dining rooms + the larger opening flowing from the foyer to living room. This home currently has a second kitchen upstairs, with a separate rear porch entrance. The upstairs could potentially be used as a small AirBNB suite with it's own entrance. Go a different direction and covert this kitchen space back into a bedroom, bathroom or laundry. Situated with a metal roof, newly coated with a 3 part silicone. Upgrades also include fresh Interior and Exterior Paint, and recent HVAC updates (last few years). The home sits high and proud on a good sized corner lot, and fenced in backyard. Off street parking is available in the rear of the yard with a large gate and curb cut. Under the home, the rear crawlspace access door opens up to small stand up work space. This area allows fantastic access to the under home structure, HVAC ductwork and hot water heater. Home will be sold as/is with seller doing no further repairs.
