The kitchen has both a walk-in pantry as well as a mudroom area with extended cabinetry, and deep copper bar sink to the far side of refrigerator for a perfect coffee station setup.
The master bedroom is located at the back corner of the first floor. Custom built-in closet cabinetry flanks one wall and includes double-depth hanging spaces at top and bottom, pull out shelving and drawers. The master bath vanity includes dual sinks, brass faucets and brass sconces to either side. The walk-in shower is ornately tiled with a mix of Carrera marble and mirrored detailing with the standout features being the three sets of shower heads – fixed, rain head and handheld for functionality and flexibility. The water closet is smartly separated with privacy door. The bathroom has a set of French doors which were salvaged from an old church in Camden, South Carolina, giving the flexibility of privacy or openness, based on preference.
At the front of the house, tucked off the main hall and separated by a full bath with double-vanity and jetted tub bathroom, are two additional bedrooms. The front bedroom is currently used as an office. With significant natural light through two sets of double windows, and a view to both the pool and toward Hampton Park. This room does not have a closet but as is typical for older homes is being considered a bedroom. The third bedroom is of ample proportions for a third room at 14*14 with space for multiple beds and larger furniture. Excellent natural light with a double set of windows and a view to the pool. Each bedroom has ceiling fans in place.
The original walk-up attic has been finished creating 700sft of flexible space for bedroom, den, playroom. Access panels run along both sides to give ample attic storage. Skylights have been added for substantial natural light and original dormer windows have been maintained. The ceilings throughout the roofline are spray foam insulation for efficiency. The ceilings have been detailed in a combination of exposed beam and bead board.
The original basement cellar has been transformed into an inviting space for entertaining with custom cabinets, two wine/beverage refrigerators, bar sink, exposed beam details at ceiling, and wood trimmed walls. The floor is bricked in a herringbone pattern and are bricks salvaged from the house's original furnace. A WaterGuard drainage system (carries a transferable 25-year warranty with Cantey Foundation Specialists) was installed in the basement cement floor and includes a SuperSump system for extra safety. This room is heated and cooled but due to location below grade is not included in the 2893sft. This room adds 232sft for a total of 3125sft of usable space.
Extensive renovations over the past 7 years have been coupled with an effort toward historic preservation of the details that make this home unique. Original windows with rope counter-weights have been preserved and made functional. Bathrooms have been enlarged and updated. Original trim details and plaster have been maintained throughout home, along with the original wood floors. Boosters were added to plumbing to improve water pressure. A four ton 16 seer gas pack HVAC for downstairs and a two ton 14 seer heat pump for upstairs was installed in 2015.
