A gracious, light-filled historic home in turnkey condition, 10 Percy Street is a beautifully renovated four bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom oasis in one of downtown Charleston's most vibrant neighborhoods. Percy Street is high and dry. The street has one of the highest elevations on the peninsula. Known as the Thompson-Bonneau House, the home is one of Elliotborough's oldest homes and the first one built on Percy Street. Its storied history began when Scottish immigrant John Thompson built the classic Charleston single in 1852. Anna Lee Bonneau, a later owner, popularized the local spiritual ''We Shall Overcome'' into a national civil rights anthem. Today, the home is eligible for a National Register listing.Many of the Charleston single home's historic features including iron entry gates and large double covered piazzas remain fully intact. Built on the largest lot on Percy Street, high walls afford privacy to the property which includes an expansive backyard that is perfect for entertaining. The property also offers off-street parking for three vehicles. The interior boasts 11'+ ceilings with exposed beams, brick limewash, multiple fireplaces, and the original hardwood floors. Refurbishments in 2006 and 2014 brought new wiring, plumbing, bathrooms, and an open kitchen that looks out onto the large yard filled with flowering native plants. Further enhancements include a new HVAC system, hand-crimped standing seam metal roof, and solar panels. 10 Percy Street is located just a short stroll away to some of Charleston's most popular restaurants including Lucca, Chubby Fish, and Xiao Bao Biscuit. Upper King Street and its popular nighttime activities and bars are also in close proximity while MUSC, the College of Charleston, Hampton Park, the Battery, and forthcoming Charleston Low Line are all easily accessible from the home's central location.
