Situated in Charleston's desirable West Side neighborhood on a quiet residential street is 380 Sumter, a historic and deceptively spacious four-unit property comprising two separate historic houses with two units each. The front cottage features a welcoming front porch overlooking the front garden with a brick border fence that was constructed by longtime resident Mary Wigg in 1945. Apartment A in the front cottage, which was constructed circa 1930, boasts a spacious sitting room featuring original heart pine floors, shiplap paneled millwork and a large picture window overlooking the sunny front garden, plus a custom kitchen, laundry closet, and a large bedroom and bathroom with wainscot paneling and traditional five panel Arts and Crafts style doors. Also in the front cottage andaccessed by a separate rear entrance, unit B is a spacious house unto itself, with a full kitchen with stone-topped island and new appliances and cabinetry, a living room with shiplap paneling, a full bathroom, laundry room, and two well-lit bedrooms with wainscot paneling and generous closet space.
The rear cottage was constructed circa 1935 and is much more spacious than modern Accessory Dwelling Unit zoning would allow on a residential lot, making 380 Sumter Street an ideal income generating property that also boasts historic character. The cottage has board and batten Craftsman siding, new low-maintenance windows, and a deck space that provides outdoor seating between the two houses. Unit C has a beautiful living room with high ceilings, original oak floors, and exposed historic rafters, and a brick fireplace; a full kitchen with washer and dryer; and full bedroom and a large bathroom. Unit D has an open floor plan kitchen and living room with a large island, full bathroom, primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom, and a second room that makes the ideal guest bedroom or home office.
