140 Queen Street has a storied past and convenient location in the Historic District of Charleston. The interior of this home, built in 1995, is in it's original condition. The interior spaces have uniquely designed molding and architectural details. The kitchen and bathrooms will require updating. This allows an opportunity for a new owner to remodel these spaces according to their own needs and choices. Designed by the architect son of the owner of many years, the 2,900 sq ft Charleston single house with stucco exterior won a Preservation Society of Charleston Carolopolis Award in 1996 for a new construction that conformed to Charleston's much admired historic architecture.140 Queen St is located on the site of the original Roper Hospitalon a double lot with off street parking. It has extensive front and side gardens.

The architect describes the two-story house as a "distillation of the prototypical Charleston single house." It features a hipped standing seam roof with gabled dormers along the south and west facades. The blue flagstone used to surround a dolphin fountain in the front garden was taken from the original Roper Hospital plaza.

A pre-listing inspection was completed by the owners and some repairs have been done. The house is being sold "as is". The seller is happy to provide the pre-listing inspection and statement of repairs recently done.

The house features four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths with 11-foot ceilings downstairs, and floor to ceiling French doors in the spacious and airy den, which allows this singularly inviting room to be flooded with sunlight. It has a formal living room with fireplace and chandelier, a dining room with chandelier, three bedrooms upstairs and the master bedroom downstairs, a light-filled kitchen, and a spacious front porch or piazza. Interior moldings, bookshelves and cabinets were designed and built by the architect.

Its location two blocks from King Street and two blocks from Colonial Lake make it convenient and walkable to downtown and the rest of the Historic District.
