This historic home boasts the perfect blend of urban convenience with a community heartbeat. Nestled in the heart of the Devine Street District where a short, tree-lined stroll puts you steps away from dozens of restaurants, coffee shops, brew pubs, boutique shopping, and local entertainment. Finlay Park and the University of South Carolina, are less than a 10-minute drive away. All-brick and beautifully updated, this 2,385 sq ft, 3-bedroom, 3-bath home gives the rare combination of timeless character and modern upgrades - fully renovated in 2008, freshly remodeled in 2024, and topped off with a new roof in 2026. The new private owner's sanctuary features a walk-in closet, dedicated office, full bath, and dual sets of double doors that open to the back patio - perfect for morning coffee or winding down in the evening. Kitchen highlights include quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, and a full-size pantry. There is an abundance of storage space throughout. Outdoors, the fully fenced, large backyard is a true retreat with a gazebo, patio, mature landscaping, and well-maintained lawn ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or playing, and capped off with a 17-foot-long Swim-Spa. Schools are zoned for A.C. Flora High, Crayton Middle, and Brennen Elementary. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
