Welcome to this charming, historic Charleston Single home located within walking distance of College of Charleston, MUSC, King St. shopping and restaurants! Known as the James Drayton Johnson House c. 1839, this home features BRAND NEW hardi-plank siding, custom shutters, freshly painted interior, and refinished hardwood floors! High ceilings and big windows allow for lots of natural light throughout the entire house! 1st floor consists of the bright living room w/ fireplace and built-in bookshelves, kitchen featuring brand new stainless steel refrigerator and stove, large front bedroom, and a full bathroom. Upstairs you'll find 2 generous-sized bedrooms (one w/ a fireplace), a full bath, and a 4th room which could either be used as a bedroom or office/sitting room.There is also a small balcony located just off the landing upstairs. A little bit of history...Johnson, a free African American tailor, whose son married the daughter of William Ellison, a wealthy African American plantation owner in the upper Santee region, built these 2 small vernacular single houses with gable roofs in the mid 1800s. Johnson lived in the smaller of the two houses at 9 Coming St., while renting the larger at 7 Coming St. This property comes with off-street parking, as well as a nice private walled courtyard in the back. Currently, we are seeing $1,000/mo. bedroom rental rates in the area, so this could be a great 3 bedroom investment property. Very convenient location just steps to the College of Charleston and Medical University!
