Description
A rare piece of Riverland Terrace history sits on this half-acre corner lot -- believed to be one of the very first homes built in the neighborhood, dating back to 1930. This Spanish Eclectic-style residence was constructed with old-world solid stucco walls, a building method rarely seen today, prized for how well it has resisted time and the elements and held up over nearly a century.For those who appreciate the history, the architectural details are worth noting: deeply arched windows and doorways framed in hand-troweled stucco, a low-pitched roofline, and a symmetrical, old-world facade capped by a prominent chimney. Step through the arched entry hood into a soaring, beamed living space with wrought-iron railings, rich hardwood floors, and an open loft overlook -- the kind ofarchitectural character and craftsmanship that simply isn't built anymore. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,916 square feet of main living space, plus a 226-square-foot third-floor flex area, for 2,142 total square feet. Outside, mature landscaping shades the corner lot, and a detached garage adds valuable storage and workshop space, while the back deck offers a private spot to enjoy the yard. The half-acre corner lot itself is the other half of this opportunity. It's a rare amount of land to find this close to the water and downtown, and it's yours to use as you see fit with no HOA in place. Restore and preserve one of Riverland Terrace's original homes, or start fresh and build new -- either way, a lot this size, in this location, is genuinely hard to find. Riverland Terrace is one of James Island's most sought-after neighborhoods, offering water access with a neighborhood boat ramp, and you're just minutes from the Terrace Theatre, local shops and restaurants, and the Charleston Municipal Golf Course. You're also just minutes from downtown Charleston and about fifteen minutes to the beach -- a rare combination of in-town convenience and coastal access. Homes with this kind of history, land, and location rarely come available. Come see the potential for yourself.
