Don't miss this charming Charleston single house! Rare to find a non-condo detached home in this convenient foodie neighborhood for this price! Owner-occupied for many years, but would be a perfect pied-a-terre or rental. Bright & cozy, lives larger than the square footage due to upstairs & downstairs porches, plus a spacious courtyard garden. This circa 1872 home has delightful historic elements combined with tastefully updated functionality. The well-designed kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a built-in microwave, range, dishwasher & refrigerator. A quaint powder room and full size washer & dryer complete the first floor. Each bedroom has porch access & en-suite bath. Fully fenced yard has brick driveway for 2 cars, plus 2 cars can park on street. PLEASE CLICK FORThe primary bath was recently updated and includes a walk-in tile shower with decorative storage niche and glass wall. There is plenty of storage in both baths and the guest bath has a tub/shower, plus storage shelves and a clothes hanging rod. An informal dining area is located off the kitchen to the right of the staircase. Large dinner parties can be hosted al fresco in the exceedingly private garden. But you may never eat at home since so many of Charleston's finest restaurants are literally blocks away. Have breakfast at Sugar Bake Shop (1/2 block) or Holey City Bagels (1.5 blks). Lunch at Chez Nous (2 Blks)! Dinner at Southbound (1.5 blks) or the Ordinary on King St (with wonderful shopping!), just 3.5 blocks away! Even local favorites Leon's, Little Jacks, & Melfi's are less than a mile. Do you sometimes work from home? The current owner kept a desk off the living room to the left of the stairs. The guest bedroom (no closet, but room to store clothes in en-suite bath) upstairs could be a light filled office or combo office/guest room with porch access. There is also a quiet nook off the primary bedroom that leads to the porch, or maybe you'll work in the quiet courtyard garden much of the year. This home is within walking distance of DeReef & Simonton Parks (1 blk), the College of Charleston (4.5 blks), the law school (5 blks) and the Medical University (3.5 blks). Stay fit by walking to the MUSC wellness center (0.7 miles) or other close-by gyms & fitness centers, and even walk to your doctors' appointments! Public records indicate a metal standing seam roof which a former owner believed had been replaced in 1998 (per previous seller disclosure). Seller re-coated roof once. Listing agent getting estimate to paint small porch overhang that was missed and any other needed repairs. FYI, metal roofs last for decades, much longer than shingled roofs. A major renovation took place after the 1998 sale (foundation, electrical, plumbing & more per old listing). The current owner just replaced the electric water heater (replaced January 2024, accessed via hatch attached with screws located to left of and under stairs) and within the past few years installed an upstairs mini-split HVAC system with a separate thermostat for each bedroom and replaced the first-floor outdoor HVAC compressor. The current owner also recently updated the kitchen and primary bathroom. Please note that although 12 Felix St appears to be within the Cannonborough-Elliotborough short-term rental overlay district it does NOT qualify for short-term (less than 30 days) rentals since it is zoned residential (STRs must be zoned commercial). Buyers must verify all applicable laws and ordinances if interested in uses other than residential, such as qualifications required for a B&B license. Property has been well-maintained and further renovated since recent major renovation (after 1998) and is under a transferable termite service bond with Palmetto Exterminators. Water heater replaced after recent crawl space inspection identified leak. Fresh CL-100 available in documents. Like most historic homes, there are areas with evidence of old subterranean and dry wood termite damage. Owner noted known minor needed repair items (gutters & exterior lights) in seller disclosure, has since repaired replaced gutters, painted the interior and now prefers an as-is sale. Owners and long-term (6+ month) renters qualify to purchase decals to park two cars on-street ($15/yearly decal for owners, $10/6 month decal for renters). Daily passes for visitor parking on street can also be purchased from the city (up to 90 passes/year in books of 30 @ $1/daily pass for owners or 14 passes each 6 months for 6+ month renters @$5/daily pass. Renters with lease terms of 1-6 months do not qualify to purchase decals or visitor passes. Please verify parking regulations as restrictions and prices are subject to change. Driveway parking is tight and may require practice for some drivers since driver doors must be aligned with either the opening in the porch railing or past the back corner of the home. Therefore, please park on the street for showings and see listing photo of car parked in drive.
About Me
What makes me different and more worthy than any other agent? Great Question…
1.) I have been in the real estate industry since 1998
2.) At 29 years old I founded a wholesale mortgage firm here in Charleston and as such being the President/CEO I was responsible for overseeing 13 team members, two branches, ALL the marketing functions, business development, training of real estate agents in financing, training of my loan officers, and making sure over $85 Million in loans got closed. Of which most were purchases. So I have REAL business knowledge and real estate is business vs an agent without that savvy business skills.
3.) I graduated from University of S.C. where my major was media arts. What’s that mean? What you are reading right now is media. Everything you see and hear is media. Everything on a computer is digital media, websites, video, photographs, and audio. I studied video production, photography/lighting courses, audio recording, and more. Even post cards, billboards, news paper are ALL media, print media. (Although it’s an antiquated media). With that knowledge your home will have the most beautiful representation to the prospective buyers, instead of most of what you see out there (poorly lit, poorly framed, bad photos and video that put off buyers).
4.) 95% OF ALL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BEGIN WITH THE INTERNET… PERIOD, IT IS FACT. I am a digital internet marketing expert. I consult other businesses on how to harness the internet’s power through web design, SEO (search engine optimization), content marketing, image marketing, user experience design, online ad management and more.
When listing a home for sale there isn't an exact science to it, but what is required is knowing all the facts, and that's where I come in. What's a home valuation really anyway?
Estimating the value of real property is important to a variety reasons, but for most people, determining the asking or purchase price of a property is the most useful application of real estate valuation. This article will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of real estate valuation, particularly as it pertains to real estate sales.
That's all well and good, however what most home owners in Charleston SC and the U.S. really want to know is what's my property worth now if I were to try to sell it? The most common method  that 90% of listing agent use is:Â
The Sales Comparison Approach.
Value -
A main consideration in appraising is to determine a property’s value: the present worth of future benefitsarising from the ownership of real property. Unlike many consumer goods such as oil, lumber, food, etc. that are quickly used, the benefits of real property are generally realized over a long period of time. Therefore, an estimate of a property’s value must take into consideration economic and social factors, as well as governmental controls or regulations and environmental conditions that may influence the four elements of value:
- Demand – the desire or need for ownership supported by the financial means to satisfy the desire;
- Utility – the ability to satisfy future owners’ desires and needs;
- Scarcity – the finite supply of competing properties
- Transfer-ability – the ease with which ownership rights are transferred.
– What have the homes that are MOST comparable to yours (subject property) sold for recently per sq ft., and  what is currently for sale (taking into account scarcity from above)?
– What are the prices being asked by your competing listings in and around your neighborhood.
Other Factors inside the two primary ones above include: (age of home, physical features, location, conditions of the sale, economic conditions)
