Second and third floor condo in the James Seignious House, built 1879 retaining the scale and basic conformity of a large antebellum Charleston side-hall-house, exhibiting the effects of the Italianate style on Charleston's traditional house forms (as quoted from Jonathan Poston's The Buildings of Charleston). This condo lives like a New York-style duplex: the main floor of the condo, 2237 sq ft, has generous sized, with 11-ft ceilings, light-filled living room, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom which all have doors opening onto the deep side piazza. There also is a smaller second bedroom. The upper floor, an additional 1120 sq ft NOT included in the MLS square footage amount, is an unobstructed open space, currently creatively used as a heated and cooled artist's studio (with excellent light), would be well suited for additional bedrooms, family room, playroom or office. A well provides landscape irrigation water. The attention to detail is evident in all finishes: special Dutch paint, top quality built-ins, pocket doors, heart pine floors. The custom kitchen cabinets, mahogany with frosted glass doors and Cararra marble counters, were built by a master craftsman; appliances include Viking stove and Sub Zero refrigerator plus refrigerator drawers and freezer drawers. Recent updates include 2010 3rd floor water heater, 2011-2012 new roof, 2011-2012 exterior painting (east side). Window blinds convey. Do not convey: Curtains, dining room ceiling light 3rd floor window/studio fan, studio artists sink, peg board, art-shelving, light fixtures on the tracks (tracks remain). HOA fees include roof and exterior painting escrow, water, termite bond, landscaping maintenance. Insurance is paid separately annually. At closing buyers pays a capital contribution equal to 2 months HOA fee. LR Fireplace (is closed off), dining room and master bedroom fireplaces must be lined.
