Do you love to entertain? Have you been searching for a true open-concept floor plan located in beautiful downtown Charleston's Harleston Village? Does the thought of having an expertly designed backyard respite, complete with a brand new pool, hot tub, expansive deck, Pergola and several outdoor dining options delight you? Have you been looking for a home with 2 primary suites; one downstairs and one upstairs?Look no further! Your dream home located at the corner of Barre St & Bull St has just hit the market. This classic 1950s brick home situated on a corner lot exudes character and charm. Upon arrival, you will notice the well maintained, mature landscaping of the front and side yard complete with a handful of Palmetto trees and a newly laid oyster shell parking padthat accommodates 2 cars in the front. There is additional parking space for 2-3 more cars on the side of the house and 2 cars in the driveway. This amount of parking in downtown Charleston is unheard of!

As you enter the home, you will notice how open and light-filled the main floor is.
Immediately to your right is a handsome office space/study with abundant shelving and much natural light. To your left is a spacious formal sitting room that flows seamlessly into the main dining room. The oversized kitchen and adjoining family room share a vaulted ceiling, gas log fireplace and deck access through 2 sets of French doors that flank each side of the fireplace.

The main focal point of the kitchen is the expansive marble-topped island offering plenty of storage space and seating. Appliances include a Sub Zero side by side, two Bosch dishwashers, double ovens and a five burner gas stove with custom hood. Off of the kitchen you will find a wet bar & pantry, a wall of storage cabinets, laundry closet and a "drop zone" for jackets, shoes and groceries when entering the home from the back entrance.

The first floor primary suite has direct access to the beautifully landscaped backyard via French doors and comes equipped with dual closets. The ensuite bathroom offers dual sinks, soaking tub and large shower.
Also on the first floor is a guest suite with full bathroom and a half bath is located in the hall for guests to use.
Once upstairs, you will find the 2nd primary suite located on the right. This primary suite offers plenty of space for a sitting area and comes equipped with a full ensuite bathroom. Down the hall you will find another guest room that utilizes a full bathroom located in the hall. Both upstairs bedrooms offer double closets, built-in desks and eve storage.

In addition to the 2 guest rooms, you will find a 3rd cozy & charming room that could be utilized as a 5th bedroom, an additional study or play area, a nursery, a craft room, home gym or even an art studio, as the light in this room is quite special. This room is currently being used as a podcast studio and is sound-proofed. Please note that this room could accommodate a large TV and offers plenty of storage opportunities.

The real showstopper is the masterfully curated backyard that makes enjoying all that the Lowcountry has to offer an absolute pleasure. The expansive desk currently offers 2 separate seating areas with room to grill and the outdoor tv makes watching football a breeze. The handsome new saline pool installed by Blue Haven Pools comes equipped with an automatic self-cleaning robot, advanced lighting system and the ability to heat the pool in the cooler months. The Travertine stone-surround and relaxing fountain only add to the spa-like ambiance. For a more formal outdoor dining option, a table for 6+ guests fits perfectly on the side of the pool. Don't like to cut grass? Me either! You will love the low-maintenance turf that stays green year-round and requires little attention. Did I mention that the hot tub, fire pit and outdoor tv convey?

Other items to note:
2 newly installed HVAC systems including new duct work. Thoughtful/seasonal landscaping in both the front and backyards, complete with irrigation. New lighting is found throughout the home and the interior has been freshly painted. New ADT security system includes locks on all of the doors that can be app-controlled and a total of 8 cameras monitor the front and back of the house, including the pool.

There is a small storage shed on the side of the backyard with power that can be utilized as an office, studio or simply for storage and the paved driveway has an automatic gate allowing for safe golf cart storage. Low-maintenance turf is just icing on the cake for all that this backyard has to offer.

Mason Prep is just around the corner and the world class doctors of MUSC and Roper are just a stone's throw away!
