Welcome to Wagener Terrace, one of Charleston's most sought-after family neighborhoods. This striking 1939 residence, a rare example of Art Moderne architecture in Charleston, combines historic character with an ideal location for modern family living. Stroll to Park & Grove, Herd Provisions, or Rodney Scott for dinner, enjoy breathtaking sunsets at the Ashley River overlook, or spend sunny afternoons at Hampton Park's playgrounds and the local weekend farmers' markets - all just blocks from your front door, or just a quick golf cart ride down the Peninsula to the heart of Historic Downtown Charleston. The home was originally designed by a submarine architect for his personal residence and features flowing spaces perfect for both family life and entertaining. Original hardwoodfloors and a copper fireplace add warmth and character, while porthole doors and graceful curved corners tell the story of the home's nautical inspiration. The current owners increased the living space by finishing a back porch to create a bright flex space (currently used as an office) with a custom closet and dedicated HVAC.This home has been extensively updated with modern amenities while preserving its historic charm. Recent improvements include a complete electrical rewire (2023), full plumbing replacement (2024, under warranty), and crawlspace encapsulation with dehumidifier and sump pump (2024). The kitchen features new Bosch and Samsung appliances, including an induction range with double oven. A former utility closet has been transformed into a walk-in pantry, and a new laundry area with stacked LG washer and dryer has been added. The sunken living room and flex space feature new tile flooring, while the interior has been refreshed with new paint and wallpaper. The exterior also received a makeover with a fresh paint color.Outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully enhanced with a new front yard fence, a screened-in porch (converted from a former carport), and garden beds featuring fruit plantings, including blueberry, peach, fig, mulberry, persimmon, blackberry, and raspberry. A new backyard shed provides additional storage.Located in an X Flood Zone, this property requires no flood insurance, providing additional peace of mind and value. The neighborhood couldn't be better: walk your dog to Corrine Jones Park, take a short golf cart ride downtown, or bike to The Citadel. From local cafes to family-friendly breweries in NOMO, everything you need is within easy reach. The friendly neighbors, tree-lined streets, and strong sense of community make Wagener Terrace one of the Peninsula's most sought-after communities. Don't miss this opportunity to make your home in one of Charleston's most welcoming communities, where historic charm meets modern family living.
