Description of 31 Fenwick Dr, Charleston, SC 29407
Listing details for 31 Fenwick Dr, Charleston, SC 29407 : 31 Fenwick is located on a lovely, quiet oak-lined street in one of the hidden corners of Old Windermere. The neighborhood is centrally located with only one light between you and the historic Charleston peninsula; you'll be amazed how quickly you can get downtown! Although it is a short walk to Earth Fare, Holy Cow Yoga and the South Windermere Shopping Center, Fenwick is not a through street and sees very little car traffic. There are lots of young children and families in the neighborhood, and the house is situated across the street from the bike path and is within a five-minute walk to Porter Gaud. Built in the twenties and recently remodeled, inside you will find all the architectural interest of an older home with the modern convenience of a newer build. Most rooms have antique oakfloors, original moulding and nine-foot ceilings. The house is filled with oversized windows, bathing the rooms with great natural light. Centrally located between the living room and the kitchen sits a spacious dining room, perfect for dinner parties or large family gatherings. There is a full bathroom for each of the three bedrooms, and the master bedroom boasts a custom-built walk-in closet and a huge light-filled shower. There is an additional large guest suite and full bath over the garage (the home is approximately 2113 square feet & the suite is approximately 438 square feet) that could be used as a game room or an additional bedroom for guests, older kids or in-laws. Other features include a wood-burning fireplace, a large family/study/media room off of the master bedroom, which could be closed off to make a large private retreat for adults. There are custom plantation shutters (not currently hanging) for the front rooms of the house, as well as soaring attic space and plenty of built-ins for lots of storage! The detached, oversized two-bay garage is great for storing your boat with plenty of room left for a workshop, and it has its own separate electric panel! This brick home sits on two lots and has a large side yard with plenty of established landscaping. The fenced-in backyard feels like a sanctuary with a large bluestone patio, wonderful for entertaining, as well as a beautiful, sunny south-facing flower garden. All lawns and gardens are fully irrigated, making this home a gardener's dream. A 16-seer Carrier HVAC system was installed this spring in the attic (one-year labor, 10-year parts warranty). The current owners also added new 5'' seamless gutters, a new underground rainwater drainage system, and they completely refreshed the crawlspace to include a new sump pump, French drain lines and a new vapor barrier.
