Here is a rare opportunity to own your very own piece of Charleston's fabled history, move-in ready with every modern convenience. Filled with natural light and highlighted by its vaulted beam ceilings and layers of elegantly exposed brick, this 3 story, 3 BR, 2.5 BA home has undergone a total renovation to bring it into the 21st century. Sitting at the highest point of the old walled city and located in an X-flood zone, this historic home has all new systems: fully replumbed, rewired, new HVAC systems, gas water heater. All of these updates combine with a stylishly renovated interior, provide the perfect balance of old and new. This unique property pampers you with all the glamand luxury that you expect, yet maintains the historical feel and charm from Charleston's glorious past that we all know and love. Soak in the magical spire views of St Philip's Church from the garden patio or the private rooftop terrace. From 8am to 8pm, church bells serenade you, meaning you can put away your watch to tell the time! 31 State's outdoor space affords you the perfect setup for morning reading, afternoon cocktails or an evening's entertainment! When you first walk in, you will notice beautiful hardwood floors throughout with a timeless sitting room, accompanied by a beamed ceiling dining room on the left. Enter into the gourmet kitchen with its luxe stone countertops and à la mode appliances; you can't help but peek out of the large, sun kissed windows and be captivated by St Philip's Church steeple. What makes this home so appealing is the creative incorporation of the original dwelling into the modern, functionally-spectacular home we see today. Mitsubishi mini-splits have been installed because of their energy efficiency and their ability to control the temperature in each room. The quintessential French Quarter private-walled courtyard is characterized by a beautiful banana tree which overhangs and provides much needed shade and tasty treats with enough TLC! Upstairs on the second floor you will find 2 spacious Bedrooms welcomed by an enclosed piazza sitting area. From there you enter the Owner's Suite and dressing area. Each room
in the derrière of the home basks in the spectacular spire views. The Second floor bathroom features an oversized shower, laden with porcelain tile. On the third floor is a real hidden gem which very few homes in the city can boast: attic space which has been converted into a postcard-esque living quarter, complete with a soaking tub, & shower with bird-eye views of the steeple. Original beams, dating back to the late 18th century characterize the vaulted 3rd floor ceilings and give it an indelible charm. From hand forged hinges to authentic 19th century locks and the original wooden pegs, these artifacts tie the old world into the new, creating a one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire your own slice of American history in this magical city, rich with culture and filled with southern charm. X Flood zone - State Street is one of the highest points in all of Peninsular Charleston.
