Circa 1890 duplex in the heart of Elliottborough, offering historic character, flexibility, and strong income potential on the Charleston peninsula.This classic Charleston Single-style property has been thoughtfully maintained and recently refreshed, with a continued emphasis on preserving original architectural details. Both units feature heart pine floors, decorative (non-functioning) fireplaces, and extensive beaded-board walls and ceilings that speak to the home's late-19th-century origins. The first-floor apartment includes two large bedrooms + a smaller bedroom or flex room, one bath, and an open living and kitchen layout. Recent improvements include a new kitchen ceiling, partial floor replacement in the kitchen, and fresh paint throughout the unit (excluding the kitchen).The second-floor apartment offers two bedrooms, one bath, an open living/dining area, and a separate kitchen. Recent updates include a remodeled bathroom, new light fixtures, a new street-facing wall in one bedroom, and fresh interior paint (excluding the kitchen), giving the space a bright, updated feel while retaining its historic charm. The top floor unit will come mostly furnished with the owners only removing a few personal items. Both apartments are separately metered for water and electricity, and all appliances convey, including washer and dryer sets in each unit. Additional features include off-street stacked parking for up to three vehicles, a small rear patio, and eligibility for City of Charleston residential parking permits (two per unit).Designated in an X flood zone, flood insurance is optional. A new roof further adds to the property's peace of mind.The downstairs unit is currently leased through May 31, 2027 at $2,400 per month, providing immediate income. The upstairs unit is vacant and has previously rented on a monthly basis between $3,500 and $4,500, depending on the season.Ideally located near MUSC, King Street, CofC, and Charleston's best restaurants, shops, and nightlife, this Elliottborough duplex presents a rare opportunity for both investors and owner-occupants seeking charm, walkability, and flexibility.
