563 Rutledge Avenue, Charleston, SC 29403 MLS #26018415

Move in ready August 3rd. Welcome to 563 Rutledge Avenue -- While this project is still underway, the end product is an inviting, classic Charleston single, configured into a duplex. Reimagined modern living ideally set between the Westside, and Hampton Park Terrace, one of the peninsula's most walkable and beloved historic neighborhoods. Just steps from 60-acre Hampton Park, this 2,066-square-foot duplex blends early-20th-century character with a head-to-toe renovation, offering rare flexibility in a location this coveted: live in one unit and let the other offset your mortgage, or hold both as a turnkey income property.Inside, a light updated aesthetic meets historic Charleston. With white oak floors, exposed dual fireplaces, and crown moulding throughout.The kitchen was thoughtfully moved to the front of the home to feature the building's original Gothic tracery bay windows, drawing natural light deep into the main living space and anchoring the home in its history. Each unit offers two bedrooms and a full bath, with updated kitchens and baths finished to the same elevated standard -- equally suited to comfortable everyday living or strong rental appeal. Outside, a large backyard and deck create a private retreat for morning coffee, dining al fresco, or entertaining under the Lowcountry sky, and two off-street parking spaces add a convenience that's hard to come by downtown. What truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle at your doorstep. Stroll Hampton Park's gardens, then take your pick of the neighborhood's quietly celebrated food scene -- wood-fired pizza and natural wine at Renzo, Sandwiches and craft beer at Berkeley's, and Park & Grove just around the corner -- with upper-King favorites like Leon's Oyster Shop, Little Jack's Tavern, Chubby Fish, and Melfi's a quick hop away. The Citadel, Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park (home of the RiverDogs), MUSC, and the heart of downtown are all within easy reach. Historic character, elevated finishes, and a flexible floor plan that rarely comes available -- this is upper-peninsula Charleston living at its best. Schedule your showing today.
