About this property

Newly Listed: Charming home in historic dwtn, walk to shops/parks, Free parking

High end renovation of this Charleston historic home was completed in June 2019. This is a brand new listing so it does not have reviews yet. The house has top end finishings including re-milled original Heart Pine floors, glass wall shower in masters bedroom, a tub/shower in the spare bedroom, marble bathroom countertops and butcher block countertops in kitchen, to name a few features. This fully furnished duplex house is a spacious 2 bedroom 2.5 bath 1100 sqft per unit. The bedrooms have blinds and blackout curtains. This is for the upstairs unit B. Access is at the back parking lot on the back porch. Off street parking for 2 cars per each unit A and B. Off street parking is hard to come by in this part of the city. The back parking is very private and surrounded by fencing. We are pet friendly and charge a pet fee. Once you're settled in the house is walking distance to many attractions like the The Ravenel Bridge, Cigar Factory, Marion Square, King St, Meeting St, Visitors Center, and many restaurants and bars and parks.

The house is located in the Eastside neighborhood which is becoming one of the most desirable areas of the city to live. Many homes in this area are being renovated along with large development projects by national development companies. The largest current project on the Charleston Peninsula is the Evening Post Courier Square development. This property is 2 blocks away and a multi million dollar Phase 6 project focused on both residential and commercial community. 15 years ago this neighborhood was overlooked by the majority of locals and visitors, but today it's now becoming the area many are moving to and or visiting. 5 years ago I would tell my renters at my other properties in the neighborhood that the area is "Up and Coming", now I tell renters the neighborhood is "Up and Came". It's still a great area to invest so if you're looking for an opportunity I can assist you in that matter since that's what I do professionally, real estate renovation and investments. I currently own 5 houses in the Eastside neighborhood. The neighborhood is so convenient to the city as a whole. You are centrally located with a main artery, Meeting St a block away to be able to get uptown or downtown quickly without the historical downtown area's grid lock traffic. With in walking distance to many of the city's attractions you can walk to the Ravenel Bridge, Visitors Center, Marion Square, MUSC, College of Charleston, Cigar Factory, Martin Luther King public pool, Upper King St where there are the newest hippest restaurants/bars/breweries. But most importantly the history of this neighborhood gives you a real sense of community. This neighborhood is where locals live and have lived for decades. It's not a fabricated neighborhood, it's got soul and charm and real beauty and it's only getting better. The potential has not been met and only a few more years for the whole area to be developed. Come stay at my property and be apart of this transformation.

I have all my rental properties cleared and blessed for the soul purpose of creating harmony for my renters because I believe our homes should be a sacred safe haven. Home clearings and blessings will release negative energy from the living space.

All dwellings and land on earth are a repository for our energetic debris, affecting anyone who lives in any domicile. Have you ever passed through a room or building and immediately felt uncomfortable? The feelings and emotions that we experience when we enter a room are the energies left by previous inhabitants. When we vacate the premises, we add to the energetic mix. Therefore, the negative energetic debris of anger, fear, frustration, violence, and depression are more readily absorbed.

By removing unwanted and unintended energy from your space, you create mental and emotional balance. A mental state of well-being, lightness, and clarity follow. Thus allowing a home or business to feel much more peaceful and calm.

We are pet friendly but we charge a $100-$150-$250 pet fee “per pet” depending on length of stay. If you bring a pet/s we need to know what types and their size. Also, very important your pets nails are groomed since we have “Heart Pine” hardwood floors and want to avoid excessive scratching and normal wear and tear. Please pick up after your pet if they use the driveway and bag it before discarding in the trash can. Pets are not permitted on the beds/couch, but I know that’s not 100% certain so if you do have a pet that jumps on beds/couches please use the blankets in the unit or bring extra blankets to cover them. If possible crate your pet while gone. Also if you have a pet that sheds a lot you are responsible to do a cleaning of the fur before check out. A quick vacuum or sweep might be needed on your part so it doesn’t overwhelm the cleaners. An extra cleaning fee ($150) will apply if excess pet fur is left in the unit on the floor/bedding/furniture/outside porches. Keep in mind the original pet fee is not necessarily for extra cleaning. The fee is set just to allow your pet on the property not to cover the cleaning due to your pet. So excess fur inside and outside of the house would be where this extra charge comes into effect. If you have a dog/s that barks excessively when you’re not there this may not be the house for you since there is a unit below. Be conscious of this since we don’t want to disturb the other renters. You know your pet/s best so please keep this in mind. If you bring a pet and do not let us know we’ll charge double the pet fee and reserve the right to ask you to leave without a refund. It’s very important we know if pets are on property.

Extremely clean and tidy
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place was extremely clean, comfy, the porch was cozy and perfect to sip coffee on in the mornings. The parking is tight, but we managed even with a big truck. Perfect location to walk to shops and restaurants. Highly recommend the BBB for breakfast and walking down King Street during the day. We will definitely be staying here again.

Charleston weekend
This is a spectacular 2 bedroom 2.5 bath unit in historic Charleston. It’s just a few miles off the heart of downtown. The building was built in 1852 and the current owner has restored it beautifully. The neighborhood is mixed and we felt safe using Ubers to get around town. I would not recommend the location for guests oblivious to their surroundings. I would stay here again.

Very nice inside!
Beautifully decorated and comfy place. Tv's in the bedrooms were a great addition (with Peacock :) ). Very comfortable place with nice amenities (washer/dryer), full kitchen and (3) bathrooms. Location was close to many things but was off the beaten path.

Really comfortable space.
Mike did a great job creating a comfortable and inviting environment. The place is better than the pictures, which is always exciting. If you don't have a high tolerance for an up & coming area, do not expect to walk around the neighborhood. For years I lived between NYC and SF and this street is definitely rougher than I'm used to. However, it felt quite safe to pull the car into the parking lot (back of house) to access the house. We stayed during the week and the nights were mostly quiet, and even met a very friendly couple staying downstairs.

Beautiful home with lovely, warm and welcoming feel. The hardwood floors were remilled and gorgeous. The artwork decorating the home is truly nice - makes it feel like a special placed to be. The bedrooms are comfortable with good mattress and wonderful feelings linens. Lots of empty space to unload luggage, which I really appreciate. Neighborhood is on the edge of up and coming, as mentioned in the description. However, all the neighborhood folks we met were very friendly and greeted us kindly. We were occassionally panhandled - but that happens in any city and was not a problem.

Great place
The place was perfect for us. It was less than a mile from my son who lives locally. The place was really nice and clean and comfortable. There was a very detailed list of instructions which proved very helpful. The neighborhood is a bit sketchy, but we had no problems with anyone.

Nice Ammenities
Our pre-stay communcation with Mike was great and had all the info we needed for our stay along with some fun things to do in the area. The property was nicely renovated and very clean. I appreciated that the beds were comfortable with quality linens and that the towels were also soft and fluffy, not always things you find in all rentals. Overall, it was a great experience.

House was beautifully redone and perfect for our vacation with friends! However, the neighborhood was definitely in a transitional area. There were some condemned homes across the street and rough neighborhoods around the corner. Other than that, no one bothered us and we really enjoyed our stay!

Scary run down neighborhood but beautiful home. Left early because we didn't feel safe.
The home was completely renovated and absolutely beautiful. The host was excellent BUT the house was surrounded by run down homes, a condemned home and abandoned homes and people hanging around at all times of the day and night.

Christmas in Charleston
We hadn’t been to Charleston in quite some time but wanted to spend Christmas there. We really enjoyed our stay in this brand new beautiful home which is located near the down town shopping and battery. The house was very well equipped with all the essential you would need to make you feel right at home. There is ample parking off the street, tucked behind the house so it was easy to unload the car. Mike the owner gave us many wonderful suggestions of what to see and do around the Charleston area and well as lots of good restaurants to check out. Can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Elder

Host profile image
I was involved in the complete renovation of this historic Charleston home that took 6 months to complete from demolition to cities final inspections, under the Board of Architectural Review (BAR). I own 4 other houses in the Eastside neighborhood that are blocks away from this home. So if you have other friends and family that want to join you on your trip I could have accommodations available.

Why they chose this property

The house has great bones and had the opportunity to add new construction off the back of the house.
