Mount Pleasant's Old Village community is an historic English style village that was first settled in 1680 and later laid out by James Hibben in 1803. This historic neighborhood evokes nostalgia with its grand oak tree-lined streets that enjoy cooling breezes from the Charleston Harbor. 135 Hibben is a landmark property on the same prestigious street that bears James Hibben's family name. Circa 1850, this historical and prominent home was constructed on one of the areas highest points, and was built in the traditional coastal style with an inverted floor plan that features the main living areas and the master bedroom on the top floor. Harbor views greet you upon pulling into the spacious driveway and can also be enjoyed from the piazza. Architectural details include stunning heart pine flooring, tall ceilings that evoke a feeling of grandeur, and numerous large windows that fill the home with an abundance of natural light. The inverted style makes you feel enveloped by the surrounding trees and other mature landscaping, as if you are in the most luxurious tree house. The main formal rooms (living and dining) were built in a classic symmetrical style, each featuring attractive brick fireplaces with handsome mantels. The spacious kitchen and family room feature vaulted plank ceilings (with a pickled finish), and are located at the rear of the home ensuring privacy. This wonderful family space includes a picturesque screened porch that is perfect for outdoor entertaining, and an additional space that could be used as an office, or a perfect breakfast nook. The ample master suite is filled with light, has a generous walk-in closet, separate vanity area, and a separate tub and shower. There is an additional guest room on the main floor that features a full bath. The ground level offers two guest rooms, a shared bath, a surprisingly large secondary living space, and the laundry room. The home also features a rare two car garage and detached artist studio. This is a unique opportunity to live in an amazing neighborhood where children ride their bikes to school, or the Pitt Street Pharmacy. Enjoy early morning or sunset walks to the Pitt Street Bridge which offers views of the Charleston's breathtaking skyline filled with church steeples. Ride your bike to Shem Creek for kayaking, fishing, or numerous dining options. Life in this neighborhood feels like you've gone back in time to simpler days. Come see why this is the Pleasant side of town!
