Welcome to 845 Tripe St, your *Newly Built* residence located just 2 miles from the heartbeat of downtown Charleston! The charm of this home extends from the *detailed upgrades* throughout the interior, all the way to the exterior's delightful curb appeal and the rich history of the neighborhood. Founded in 1886, Maryville was its own Town for 50 years, and some of the artifacts from that chapter in time are still present today (read to the end for more details on the neighborhood)! Step inside this single-story 3 Bed / 2 Bath floor plan to discover an open concept living space that seamlessly connects the spacious living area with the kitchen and dining space. You're immediately greeted by rich hardwood floors branching from one end of the house to the other, which really sets the tone for the quality of the finishes you will get to experience each day you call this Home. From the foyer you'll find both guest bedrooms, each of them offering tall windows (all hurricane impact-rated glass) with natural light beaming through, modern light fixtures and ceiling fans, and generous closet space with built-in shelving. If you don't need 2 guest bedrooms, you can alternatively use one as an office!
As you make your way down the hall and into the open concept living area, notice how the vaulted ceiling soaring overhead enhances the sense of space and airiness. This is complemented by a gas fireplace tastefully surrounded by timeless marble, as well as recessed lighting fixtures overhead that add both style and comfort. Turn your attention next towards the masterpiece of the home: the kitchen features custom cabinetry with soft-close cabinets, a built-in pantry, and two-tone brass & silver hardware accents; matching blue, white & gold backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas range (natural gas); sleek quartz countertops and a stainless-steel farmhouse sink positioned in the expansive center island. Imagine the aromas of the endless culinary adventures you can enjoy in this Kitchen! Your cozy dining area awaits you just beyond the kitchen with contemporary pendant lighting hanging from above, setting the scene for many nights of breaking bread and sharing laughter.
When it's time to unwind at the end of a long day, you'll find comfort in the spacious owner's retreat with tray ceiling & ceiling fan overhead, and his & her walk-in closets each with built-in shelving units. The en-suite bathroom presents a sophisticated and chic design from the intricate silver & gold veining in the floor tile, to the white herringbone tile arrangement and penny tile accent in the shower. This master bathroom also features a soft-close sliding glass shower door, and quartz countertops atop custom cabinetry. Fortunately for your guests, no expense was spared in the hall guest bathroom either, where they'll be able to enjoy the same quality of thoughtfully appointed finishes offered in the master.
Additionally, even the separate laundry room near the rear of the house has sleek floor tiling to boot! A tankless hot water heater was thoughtfully installed to allow for endless hot water no matter where you need it. And upgrades don't even end there! The exterior features are equally impressive. The house is clad in durable Hardie plank siding and finished with a striking blue paint and a coral-colored front door, all surrounded by a fully landscaped yard, which really ties together its charm from the street as you arrive. The landscaping is complete with lush sod, pine straw, and various bushes including gardenias and viburnum that will mature further over time. This creates a beautiful outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. The extended driveway provides ample parking for two cars, making this home as practical as it is beautiful.
This home's proximity to downtown makes it more than just a house - it's a lifestyle. Just 0.3 miles away is the West Ashley bikeway which ends at Higgins Pier where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Charleston skyline. Imagine making this walk a part of your daily or weekend routine, basking in the sunrises/sunsets or enjoying an afternoon stroll. A description of this unique opportunity would not be complete without some further insights into the unique history of the neighborhood. The pier was dedicated to Leonard Higgins Sr who was instrumental in its creation and who served the majority of his life as a leader and educator within the community. On your way to the pier, you'll also pass what used to be the Village Grocery Store, which had been owned by the Maryville mayor at the time. Interestingly, the town also included the site of the original English settlement in Charleston from 1670! Maryville was originally formed in 1886 predominantly by former slaves who bought up the Lots, and the neighborhood has been evolving ever since then, while holding onto its historic charm. These days you'll also be able to enjoy your close proximity to several local hotspots including the restaurants and nightlife of Avondale (only 1 mile away). Just across the bridge is downtown Charleston which offers all the dining, shopping, and history one can ask for! And just 11 miles away you can put your feet in the sand and catch some waves at Folly Beach.
