Enjoy all that living in Wagener Terrace has to offer with easy access to beautiful Hampton Park, shopping and dining and historic Charleston....A deep front porch and carefully restored front door with its original hardware welcomes you home. Step into the stunning foyer with beautiful checkered marble tile floors and find your way into a flowing floorplan connected by gracefully arched doorways, original to the 1940s design. Starting in the dining room, the color drenched room is complete with picture window, dental molding and statement chandelier. The spacious living room full of natural light flows is centered on a Dimplex fireplace and leads into the showstopping kitchen. Anchored by a large island with a fluted wood base, the kitchen's design finishes include a panel finished Thermador refrigerator and dishwasher, Ilve range with custom hood, dramatic calacutta oro marble slab countertops and backsplash, statement brass pendant lighting and living finish brass hardware. Ample storage can be found in the cabinets and pantry.
The downstairs primary suite is a true retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath finished in hand-glazed zellige tile, a freestanding soaking tub, marble flooring, and polished nickel Brizo fixtures beneath a canopy of oak-framed views. A downstairs guest suite with an ensuite bath with marble shower offers flexibility and privacy for out of town visitors. Completing the main floor, a powder room delivers a jewel-box moment with moody walls, a hand-carved calacutta viola marble sink, and an antique mirror. Upstairs, a versatile loft space connects three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry room. And finally, a small basement adds bonus flex space for a home office, gym, or your very own speakeasy. Cheers!
