PICTURE-PERFECT OLD VILLAGE HOME
301 BENNETT STREET
Listed by Lyles Geer
301 Bennett Street is the picture-perfect Old Village house: a 1925 residence right off the harbor, behind a picturesque jasmine-covered arbor, on a third-of-an-acre corner lot between Pitt Street and the water. Wood floors run through a formal living room with a fireplace and a dining room whose French doors open to a deep screened porch overlooking the side lawn. A family room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases flows into the open kitchen, with a gas range, a breakfast table area, and a rear entry to the garden terrace. The bluestone terrace and fountain garden, with glimpses of sailboats in the Charleston harbor, give way to a broad lawn framed by clipped hedges beneath mature live-oaks. A vine-covered outdoor garden pavilion offers endless options for outdoor entertaining while also functioning as a shaded carport by day. Upstairs, the primary suite occupies the back half of the house with a private study, multiple closets, a bath with a soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity. Two more generously sized bedrooms share a hall bath. At 2,854 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the house lives far larger than its footprint.
