Neighbors can attest: Savage Street is one of the peninsula's friendliest streets. Narrow and with one-way traffic, the street is is highly pedestrian, and bike-friendly. Walk down to the corner of Savage and Broad to pick up staples or lunch at Burbage's Grocery, the only corner store still remaining South of Broad and a local treasure for long-time residents. A few blocks away, enjoy a stroll along the Battery, a jog around Colonial Lake, or a game of fetch at the nearby dog park. Or, if shopping and dining are more your speed, Savage street is less than 10 minutes on foot to King Street and Charleston's famed restaurants and boutiques. Architecturally and historically significant, 9 Savage Street is highlighted in The Buildings of Charleston as one of the four Laura Martelle Houses. These ""sister"" houses (9, 11, 13, and 15 Savage) were built circa 1894-1898 by Miss Laura Martelle who resided on nearby Limehouse Street in the 1890s. These homes are praised for their wooden parapets, window hoods, bracketed cornices in the Italianate style, as well as the Queen Anne-style turned columns, jigsaw porch brackets, and spindle-work balustrades. On the interior, 9 Savage features an iconic Charleston single floor plan on two stories. Currently configured as a four-bedroom home, the overall layout and the secondary back staircase make this home a natural fit for a master expansion if a spacious master suite in lieu of a forth bedroom is your preference. Come see this home in person to imagine the possibilities. This home has it all: location, history, charm, and an unbeatable price. Whether you are an investor with an eye for exclusive locations or you are looking for your own historic Charleston residence, 9 Savage Street is an opportunity not to be missed.
