Tucked into one of Charleston's most convenient and sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully crafted 2013 custom home blends coastal Lowcountry charm with refined Craftsman architecture. This timeless combination pays tribute to Avondale with its larger lots, tree lined streets, and walkability features that make it often called the ''downtown of West Ashley.'' Thoughtfully built from the ground up and surrounded by mature landscaping on a generous lot, this residence delivers the character buyers love about Avondale, but with the durability and efficiency of newer construction.From the moment you arrive, the home's craftsmanship is evident. A solid cypress front door adorned with Emtek hammered brass hardware welcomes guests beneath elegant post-and-beam porch details, while custom landscaping, Charleston gates, wrought-iron fence accents, and carefully designed yard lighting create a timeless first impression. The exterior showcases enduring materials including cypress trim, aluminum-clad windows with black exteriors, brick windowsills, and a standing seam metal roof with concealed fasteners, all reflecting a level of construction rarely seen in newer builds. Bluestone stepping pavers lead through the professionally designed grounds, while a charming crepe myrtle alley reveals a private, fully fenced backyard designed for outdoor living.
At the center of the outdoor space is a professionally maintained saltwater pool, beautifully finished with travertine coping, soft bullnose edging, and a classic brick border. Measuring 12 x 24 feet with depths ranging from 3 to 5.6 feet, the pool features a full-width bench seat in the deep end and a gracious three-step entry on the shallow side. The Pentair IntelliChlor salt sanitizing system provides a softer, low-maintenance swimming experience, while surrounding patio areas, including a custom cut concrete patio with brick border, grilling space, and a screened in porch with polished concrete flooring create the perfect setting for relaxed Lowcountry evenings.
Inside, the home offers three bedrooms and three full baths with a layout designed for comfort and flexibility. Two primary suites on the main level provide exceptional livability. One suite features vaulted shiplap ceilings, a custom walk in closet, screened porch access through a full wall of Euro Glass Doors, and tranquil pool views from the garden tub, while the second first floor primary suite features a Victoria + Albert freestanding tub and walk-in shower for a spa-like retreat as well as two closets and a generous floor plan. Upstairs, a 3rd bedroom has it's own full bath and is complemented by a charming loft ideal for a reading nook or workspace.
The heart of the home is the dramatic vaulted living room with gas fireplace, seamlessly connected to the kitchen and dining spaces. A marble hallway leads to the backyard, laundry, and primary suite, adding a subtle touch of elegance to the home's circulation. Throughout the interior, thoughtful details include solid hardwood floors, crown molding, Kolbe windows, plantation shutters, custom marble flooring, pocket doors, and a spacious laundry room with custom cabinetry and a sink. Modern comfort is ensured with two-zone HVAC installed in 2021 and Rinnai hot water systems.
The kitchen blends craftsmanship with professional-grade performance, anchored by a 36-inch Wolf six-burner gas range and complemented by a KitchenAid built-in microwave drawer and dishwasher. An English farmhouse sink, soft-close cabinetry, recessed lighting, and an open bar overlooking the living area create a space equally suited for entertaining or everyday living.
Beyond the home itself, Avondale offers a lifestyle few Charleston neighborhoods can match. Located within walking distance of many restaurants and just minutes from downtown Charleston, residents enjoy quick access to marinas, top hospitals, schools, and the area's renowned beaches, making this location one of the most central and connected addresses in the Lowcountry.
This updated Avondale home offers a true taste of the Charleston lifestyle. With quality construction, timeless coastal details, and a private outdoor retreat, it delivers the best of Lowcountry living in a location that's hard to beat.
