47 Laurens St #A&B Charleston, SC 29401

Listing details for 47 Laurens St #A&B, Charleston, SC 29401 : This is a unique Ansonborough duplex, situated in the middle of a quiet tree-lined street. Step outside, and you are within walking distance to Marion Square, The Gaillard Auditorium, King Street shopping, Market Street, the Cooper River waterfront and Charleston's remarkable variety of churches, museums, art galleries and restaurants. Each unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The entrance to the front unit is framed by a gated brick courtyard. Behind the back unit, there is a private garden featuring nine foot high brick walls and custom ironwork. The front unit also features a renovated master bath, plantation shutters, and a distinctive fireplace mantle. Each unit features a low maintenance brick exterior, hardwood floors, and functional thermal windows which fill the living space and bedrooms with natural light. The roof was replaced in 2004. Although 47 Laurens is located in historic Ansonborough, the house does not have an historic designation and therefore can be redesigned (or torn down). There is the potential to combine the units into a single family residence. The Units are also being offered for sale separately as condos see separate MLS listings. The multiple alternative uses make the property attractive to a variety of buyers, thereby adding to future resale value (for example: use either unit as a "second home"; reside in one unit while renting the other; hold both units for rental income). Please note that while the driveway to the right of the structure is part of the 47 Laurens property, it is subject to an access easement in favor of the neighboring property (49 Laurens). As written, the easement does not allow the driveway to be blocked. Any use of the driveway for parking (or any other modification of the easement) would be at the discretion of the owner of 49 Laurens. The property is located within a designated flood zone. The sale of the entire building would involve two tax parcels: 458-01-03-176 (Unit A) and 458-01-03-177 (Unit B). DISCLOSURE: In the event that the units are sold separately as condominium units: (a) the initial buyer will contribute two months of estimated monthly regime fees as a one-time working capital contribution; and (b) the regime budget is in the process of being finalized and may vary depending upon whether the buyers of the units elect to self-manage the property or hire a third party property manager.
