Incredible opportunity to own a piece of Charleston history! This stylish downtown condo has two well sized bedrooms and baths, deeded parking, original heart of pine wood floors, 13' ceilings, ornate floor to ceiling window casings and truly exquisite period plaster work throughout. Transformed from a historic brick Greek Revival Style house to seven modern condos in 2000, the stately Frederick Shaffer House has a classic columned piazza across the front, fenced lawn, and gated parking. The floor plans for these units were extremely well planned, and the entrance hall should not be missed! This unit is on the main level, in what was once the designated receiving area of the circa 1834 downtown mansion. A recent quality driven restoration by the sellers makes this the epitome of upscale design and modern function. The spacious living area is open to the large kitchen, featuring ceiling height, glass front cabinetry, Bosch appliances and classic Kashmir White granite counter tops in the kitchen and the multipurpose island. A gas fireplace with marble mantle centers the room. The generous 10 X 14 master bedroom accommodates a king size bed and is accentuated by a second gas fireplace. It has a walk in closet as well as a stackable washer and dryer. The ensuite has soaring ceilings, additional storage, double sinks with granite counters, and a large, timeless glass and tile shower. The guest bedroom easily accommodates a queen bed. This lovely room is also surrounded by beautiful window casings and intricate moulding. The guest bathroom is just a step away and features a charming claw foot tub with shower. The sink's wood cabinet has a marble counter. Additional storage is found above all the bedroom closets. The front porch is wonderful for a step back in time. New roof installed a couple of years ago and there are no planned assessments. Recent HVAC. The designated parking spot is in the rear behind an electronic gated fence, but you are walking distance to MUSC, College of Charleston and shopping district downtown.
