Reader's Note: You have to stay with me on this. The following description contains a lot of truthful snark, so don't be put off by it.
This Condomium, APT C is "fresh" to the market. It is on the second floor of a 120-year-old former Charleston single house that has been architecturally restored and maintained by the owner-manager, a Charleston native. A minimum 30-day lease must be signed. Options to extend the lease may be considered and will depend on circumstances and availability. You are NOT required to be in residence during your lease time.
From 82 Rutledge Avenue, you can walk to the Medical, Business, and other Historic Districts. The College of Charleston is less than a 10-minute walk. Within a 2-—to 3-block area, there are friendly, untouristed neighborhood restaurants.
The property has a curated garden and an old English brick patio for your enjoyment.
Parking is available in the back lot, on the street, and in nearby lots. It is included. Since this is Charleston, on-property parking cannot accommodate large SUVs such as Yukons, Escalades, or F-150s. Please contact us to determine your parking needs if you plan to bring a vehicle. Charleston streets were designed for horses and carriages, not armored personnel carriers. Parking is problematic in Charleston; I did not create it.
The resident manager is on-site and provides you with biased and jaundiced site-seeing, touring, and dining recommendations to further enhance your stay.
Apt C has been fully restored to keep its legacy features but has had significant modern upgrades, which will be detailed below. The porch, old English brick patio, and expertly curated gardens are for your enjoyment.
As mentioned earlier, APT C is on the 2nd floor of the main building at 82 Rutledge Avenue. There are 2 separate stairs. The spiral staircase leads to the 2nd-floor porch with a door to the living room. The second leads from the street through the side garden to an exterior landing with a security door. Upon entry from the security door, there is a set of stairs with an intervening landing, which leads to the hallway door of Apt C. The stairs are safe but not necessarily ADA-compliant. There is no elevator. Luggage assistance is available.
The entire unit has refinished hardwood floors, adjustable ceiling fans, adjustable LEDs,
calm colors, period piece furniture, double pane.
The master bedroom with a king-size bed is lovely and appointed with a chest of drawers end tables, and a writing desk. The windows allow the room to be filled with light, and the black-out drapes assure a good night's sleep. All windows are double-paned. An adjacent closet room with hang-up closets, custom-built cabinetry for clothes, and room for luggage storage.
The living room has comfortable period pieces that are well illustrated in the photographs. There is TV with cable access. Complementary 5G Wi-Fi is located throughout the unit, and USB jacks are also included. The bathroom has Carrera tile, a shower tub, and all amenities. The water pressure is excellent. The TV is not significant. However, the TV is smart and connected. You will be basically on your own to navigate, 'cause I ain't crapping w/it." There is 5g complimentary secure wifi to "stream" to your heart's content. You are in Charleston, so you can pass up on ESPN, HGTV, MSNBC, FOX, etc.
The kitchen has been custom-built. All appliances are new. There is a washer and dryer in this area. There is a custom-built mahogany table in the kitchen area. The kitchen is fully stocked. and ready for you to prepare any meal you wish.
Everything in the kitchen is custom-built.
If you are serious about leasing the unit for Spoleto or anything else, it is necessary to contact me first.
