A rare urban oasis tucked away on a private lane in Downtown Charleston close to MUSC. Surrounded by mature landscaping and featuring a beautiful, private enclosed courtyard, this charming single-family house offers a sense of privacy and tranquility rarely found on the peninsula. Designed by a local architect and built in 2001, the approximately 1,450-square-foot unfurnished house features two bedrooms, two-and-one-half bathrooms and a thoughtfully designed open floor plan. Primarily southern exposures provide wonderful natural light and pleasant garden views throughout.
The first floor features hardwood floors, custom moldings, a fireplace and floor-to-ceiling custom built-ins anchoring one end of the living area. At the opposite end, the spacious dining area comfortably accommodates seating for eight or more and includes an additional entertainment corner. The updated kitchen features custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances and a breakfast bar that opens to the main living space. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom. The spacious primary bedroom features numerous windows and a walk-in closet, while the primary bathroom includes a custom-tiled walk-in shower. The second-floor hall landing features a beautiful armoire providing additional storage, and full-size laundry is conveniently located on this level.
The beautifully landscaped, enclosed courtyard provides a wonderful private outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. Set back from the street along charming Leo Lane, this special property combines the privacy and feel of a secluded retreat with the convenience of Downtown Charleston living. MUSC, King Street, popular neighborhood destinations, world-renowned restaurants, shopping and more are all nearby, while convenient access to the Crosstown makes commuting on and off the peninsula easy.
