The detached 1-car garage offers additional storage and exciting potential--it could be transformed into a workshop, man-cave or she-shed, or rebuilt with an apartment above for rental income or guests. The property's prime location iswithin walking distance to local dining and shopping, the Terrace Theater, the municipal golf course, and two neighborhood parks. It's also just a short drive to James Island County Park. And with the neighborhood boat landing on the Intracoastal Waterway just a few blocks away, waterfront adventures are just moments away.Built in 1949, this home is a perfect example of the kind of structure they're talking about when they say ""they don't build them like they used to.""

All 3 bedrooms have solid hardwood flooring, as do the living and dining areas and center hall. The pull-down stairs lead to the attic that spans the entire length and width of the house, offering possible opportunity for expansion.
