Spacious home with great layout in need of updating. Original kitchen and baths. Spend $75 to $100k in renovations and it will be worth in the upper $400's to $500k. Snuggled amidst ancient grand oaks on one of the South's most beautiful Avenue of Oaks. House was built by this owner in 1963 and retains its original charm and character. Cutting edge in design for its time. Large rooms with 8 and a half foot high ceilings downstairs and 8' up plus tons of tall windows and pine floors throughout except kitchen and baths. A spacious (approx. 300 sq. ft.) unheated sunroom not included in sq. footage, was added later, but has new thermal pane windows as does the rest of the house. A new roof and thermal pane windows throughout were very recently added. Tons of closets, cabinets, bookshelvesand attic storage, plus a one car garage and separate storage shed. House needs updating, but fully liveable, clean and comfortable. Owner just spent several thousand on tree trimming and cleaning. Gorgeous Camellias, azaleas, wysteria vines...Don't miss the cool treehouse in the cluster of sister Oaks at back in the fully fenced yard. Seller desires a ""strictly as is sale"". An Old Republic Home Warranty will cover appliances, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, hot water heater. The house next door sold in one day, so don't delay. Great, friendly, involved neighbors. Playground, park, ballfield, boat landing, picnic areas nearby. Wonderful neighborhood for walking, biking, jogging, skating, socializing. And 2 blocks from shops, restaurants, Terrace Theater (ranked in top 12 of boutique theaters in America), the famous music venue: The Pour House, churches. There is a Sunday Farmer's market in Medway Park and a soon to be community garden. Very active Riverland Terrace Garden Club is involved in preservation, education, fund raising, and community activities. Also, there is a Neighborhood Association that is active. The salt marsh lakes and tidal creek offer great shrimping, crabbing, fishing, bait casting. The area is well known for excellent bird watching. All of this without neighborhood restrictions so you are free to create your own castle and only 8 to 10 minutes to downtown Charleston, recently named by Conde Nash readers as the #1 Destination in the World!!!
