Description

Imagine a thoughtfully renovated historic home built in 1890, combined with all of the modern upgrades a discriminating buyer expects in a home. The true Charleston single with double Piazzas at 5 Bee Street is just that. The double side porches run a full 50' along the right side of the house adding that unique Charleston character to the home and offer a perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The welcoming foyer draws you in with beautiful marble flooring and custom walnut cabinetry with tons of storage and serves as an upgraded ''drop zone''. To the right of the foyer is what can only be described as a totally renovated true chef's kitchen. With renovations just completed this eat in kitchen features a large island that accommodates seating, a new 48'' top of the lirefrigerator/freezer, a new Blue Star 36" gas range, Blue star built in wall oven, and a Dacor built in microwave. The custom cabinetry combines the walnut from the foyer for the island and glass uppers and compliments that with the off-white cabinets on the perimeter of the kitchen. Customization follows through to clever accessories and built-ins to make organizing easy. The large pantry offers tons of storage as well, along with a built-in w. /beverage cooler. The stunning Quartz countertops tie it all together. (The kitchen renovation was completed in 2024 but is part of an addition that was added to the home in 2009). To the left of the foyer is what was originally a large formal dining room which features wainscotting, original heart pine flooring and design features of a historic Charleston home. Those features carry into the living room at the front of the home complete with the original brick fireplace converted into a gas fireplace with built in cabinets and bookshelves. The downstairs full bath with shower sits between the dining room and living room and is tastefully done in black and white Carrera marble. Upstairs includes a large Master suite (which is part of the addition of 2009). The master bath is Carrera marble, features vanity with two sinks, large shower, and walk in closet. The master bedroom is generously sized with a convenient built in wet bar/coffee bar and beverage refrigerator. The two additional bedrooms upstairs are part of the original 1890's home and include historic elements and those special heart pine floors. A Jack and Jill bath with a tub/shower connects the two bedrooms. The upstairs hallway opens up to the 2nd floor full porch which offers an excellent opportunity to relax, maybe read and book and catch those afternoon breezes. The outdoor space includes a large storage shed and is walled and fenced in and is virtually a blank space for new owners to design their own place for entertaining family and friends. The extra-long driveway can accommodate up to 4 cars for off-street parking. 5 Bee Street has so much to offer and is conveniently located to MUSC and medical offices and is walking distance to downtown shops, restaurants, and bars while still maintaining a friendly neighborhood feel.
