Listing details for 329 President St, Charleston, SC 29403 : Hampton Park Terrace Historic 1915 bungalow authentically restored by current long term owners!This wonderful home, with 3 bed & 2 full bath down with additional bed & full bath up is simply a fabulous example of a Craftsman style bungalow.

In 2000 an addition was designed and overseen by Ralph Muldrow, a well-known preservation architect, who ensured the design had modern functionality while staying consistent with the style and character of the Arts & Crafts period of the house.This addition overlooks the yard designed by noted landscape architect Sheila Wertimer which includes a Phillip Simmons backyard folly. The front porch of this home is perhaps it's most distinctive feature. At approximately 28' wide and 12' deep it adds another versatile living space for this home. Set up high and away from the street for privacy, yet easily one of the best spots to greet your neighbors as they walk their dogs or make their way to Harold's Cabin. The center point of this porch is a front door gate again crafted by renowned blacksmith Phillip Simmons! The strong sense of time and architectural cohesion seen in Hampton Park Terrace is present in no other Charleston neighborhood. Noted as one of Charleston's first planned subdivisions, the popularity was unprecedented in Charleston with over 200 homes being built between 1913 and 1922, all in the Arts & Crafts style. Today, it again is one of the most desirable areas to live with many great restaurants with Harold's Cabins, Purlieu, Park Cafè, Renzo & others within walking distance. The Citadel is around the corner with it's adjacent stadium for football and the Joe Riley Park, home of the Riverdogs baseball team is right down around the corner. We also have city tennis courts on Congress Street and a public pool/recreation center on Fishburne Street. Our most coveted assets of course are Allan Park and Hampton Park. Hampton Park Terrace is on the National Register of Historic Places and 329 President Street is noted as a contributing structure to the neighborhood. No restrictions come with this designation but it does allow for some interesting conversation!
