For Sale by Owner - # 7 Arlington Court.
Nestled between Lee St. and Quarrier St. just one block from The Clay Center, lies an urban oasis called Arlington Court. This historic townhouse community was built circa 1912, its architecture consists of two rows of brick houses that face each other across a sidewalk and courtyard.
Arlington Court is a place where, for a hundred years, neighbors have watched out for one anothers children and pets, shared morning cups of coffee on their common porches, and called goodnight to one another at the end of the day. From this hidden gem of a community, you can walk to the Clay Center, Capital Street, Haddad River Front Park and all the shops, restaurants and services Charleston has to offer.
All the townhouses in Arlington Court are owner-occupied by young professionals, retirees, or families. Under the café lights that crisscross the courtyard, friendly neighbors gather for occasional dinners, parties and impromptu happy hours.
Homeowner association fees assure that the exterior of the historic buildings are maintained including the metal roofs, front porches, and beautiful old trees. The homeowners association leases off-street parking spots behind Arlington Court East, and Lee Street is reserved for residential permit parking.
In the heart of the lush courtyard under the beautiful American Elm tree sits unit #7 - a beautiful townhouse that has been lovingly inhabited and well-maintained for over 110 years. The energy-efficient HVAC system, hot water tank, dishwasher and refrigerator are all new.
The brick three-story home also has a Darin Fisher designed kitchen and newly renovated full bath. Beautiful hardwood floors throughout with porcelain tile in the bathrooms. The brick has been exposed in the dining room and master bedroom, and the original pocket doors are still in place between the dining and living rooms.
The glass transoms above the bedrooms are fitted with beautiful stained glass. Arlington Court #7 has a grand entry, dining room, living room, kitchen and half bath on the first floor. The second floor has a full bath and two bedrooms and a generous dressing room with built-in cedar-lined wardrobe.
The fully-renovated third floor is one large bonus room/possible bedroom with a charming window seat and a small sink. Additionally, there is a full basement with laundry and plenty of storage.
This home must be seen to be fully appreciated. Its unique location close to downtown amenities and its charming courtyard and wonderful neighbors make it a premier Charleston address.
