About 187 Line Street
A true Westside gem!! This professionally designed home is sold fully furnished and stocked - inside and out, including exterior furnishings. Just bring your suitcase! Originally built in 1935 as a Freedman's cottage, the property has been thoughtfully restored to honor its historical character while offering every modern comfort. Highlights include original heart pine floors, exposed and treated historic wood throughout, and brick flooring in the dining area. This is the perfect location for full-time MUSC medical professionals, CofC students, or a Charleston pied-a-terre. It also functions beautifully as a lock-and-leave property that can generate income when you're away (the current owner has successfully rented for $4,500/month in the past on a 28-day minimum basis).A few steps in the other direction brings you to one of the neighborhood's beloved spots - Little Line Café. Think of it as your own corner coffee bar buzzing with energy, weekend brunch, biscuits, and mimosas that feel like an extension of home! Just a block past Little Line is Daps Breakfast & Imbibe, one of Charleston's most popular breakfast spots. Three blocks away you'll find Roseline Wine Bar, a trendy, high-energy wine bar set in a converted Freedman's cottage. The neighborhood's culinary scene continues with Vern's, Kultura, Xiao Bao Biscuit, and Bad Bunnies Coffee, all within just a 2-4 block radius.
Vern's is close by, and Kultura is bringing its famous elevated Filipino food just two blocks away, right near Xiao Bao Biscuit and Bad Bunnies Coffee.
In the other direction, just a block and a half away, residents enjoy the Arthur W. Christopher Community Center. This is a full-service recreation hub featuring a gym, indoor pool, basketball court, dance studio, and youth programs from preschool through teen. Outdoors, the complex opens onto Harmon Field, complete with soccer and baseball fields, an athletic field, and a children's playground, an amenity package unmatched in downtown Charleston.
Step inside from your covered piazza with rocking chairs and planter boxes and enjoy morning coffee in true Charleston style. The interior is curated with all-new furnishings and lighting, blending historic charm with modern function. Despite its cozy square footage, the home lives much larger thanks to an open layout, soaring ceilings, and abundant natural light. Bedrooms are set on opposite sides of the common areas for privacy, and both bathrooms have been fully updated - one with a gorgeous walk-in shower, the other with a cast-iron clawfoot soaking tub/shower combo. (The original screen doors come with it and have been carefully stored and can be reinstalled if desired.)
Plenty of street parking for guests. 1 off-street parking spot and 1 gated golf cart parking spot.
