First time on the market in 32 yrs! This is a wonderful home for those who enjoy downtown living without the pressure of tourism. Delightful one block street w/ parks at both ends & long term, friendly neighbors. Walk to MUSC, CofC, Charleston School of Law & everywhere downtown. Just 1/2 a mile to Colonial Lake, a mile to the Battery & a 1/2 mile to King St. The house has a marvelous wrap around front porch which invites you to linger. Inside you'll find hardwood floors, 10ft ceilings & abundant light from large windows. The kitchen, office & bathrooms were all remodeled in the last 4 years & all systems were upgraded. This house is Move in Ready! The foyer leads to the living room & a large dining room, followed by office/sunroom & kitchen as well as big pantry, laundry & a full bath.The second floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The space for the master bedroom's bath & walk-in closet were created from an old sleeping porch. On the 3rd floor there is a conditioned flex room that was once part of the walk-in attic. It has served as a wonderful playroom & as an extra guest room. It could be an artist studio or exercise space as well. The HVAC systems were replaced in 2021 & 2022, a new tankless gas hot water heater was installed in 2022 & the metal roof was re-coated then as well. The driveway was redone with slate rocks in 2023. There is an irrigation system in the backyard, which is fully fenced. The neighbor to the left of the house has a double lot which gives 12 Halsey St a pretty garden view from the dining room and sunroom. Halsey St used to have a flooding problem, but the city and the state have rebuilt the collapsed drainage tunnels that are under the street and check valves have also been added on Ashley Ave. These changes have made a real difference in the street's ability to deal with King Tides and heavy rainfall. Flood insurance runs $2,306 a year and homeowners $3,934 annually.
