Property Description
LAKEFRONT TRANQUIL RETREAT on high lot overlooking Chaplins Lake! This stunning 2.06-acre property is surrounded by nature and rich in history! Originally built in 1900 as the Art Building for the Ashley Hall school in Downtown Charleston, this now updated property offers ultimate privacy and historic character, blending modern comforts with historical elegance. Relocated to its serene lakeside location in 1980, this home was once used as an art studio for Ashley Hall students! Property has slightly over two acres of land with considerable lake frontage and a very high elevation for the Charleston area. For this reason an approximately one acre parcel could potentially be subdivided from the original large tract for a second lakefront home for family members who desire to live nearby!Step inside and immediately notice the spacious living areas boasting new flooring, new lighting, and a completely renovated kitchen! The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom stone countertops imported specifically for this home, a large luxury island, and custom cabinetry with ample storage space! There are views from every room overlooking the lake and nature adding to the overall tranquility of the property. The kitchen's charm extends outdoors to a huge back deck overlooking the expansive backyard and picturesque Chaplins Lake, creating a perfect setting for relaxation and entertaining. Many of the original windows with blown glass frames are still in place today further enriching the home's historical feel!
The main floor features a bedroom with a lake view, a half bathroom, and a small office/bonus room! The spacious living room and eat-in kitchen area are perfect for gatherings. The home is equipped with new mini-split HVAC units and a whole-home dehumidifier. As you walk upstairs, you will find the original heart of pine floors extending into all rooms. The large primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and a full en-suite bath with high-end custom finishes! There is an additional bedroom upstairs, also with a full en-suite bathroom, and a light and bright office/flex room with access to an elevated deck overlook. An additional storage shed/workshop on the property offers practical space for all your storage and building needs!
Chaplins Lake is abundant with migrating birds and diverse ornithology, enhancing the tranquility of this private oasis. Conveniently located with easy access to Golf, Publix shopping center, shopping, dining, beaches, and CHS International Airport, this residence provides a perfect blend of secluded living and accessibility! Additionally you are just a short drive from all that Johns Island, Kiawah, and Edisto have to offer! This property represents a rare chance to own a piece of timeless Charleston history. Don't miss your chance to see this amazing, unique property before it's gone!
