Charming Quiet Old Village Mount Pleasant--minutes from the Beach and Downtown!

Nestled among live oak lined streets in the most desirable neighborhood in South Carolina's Low Country, this brick solar-powered bungalow is owned by two College of Charleston archaeology professors. Several local owned restaurants, coffee bars and bakeries are within easy walking distance. Old Pitt Street Bridge and Shem Creek are very close by and are enjoyed on an almost daily basis by this family. The quintessential charms of Charleston’s Historic District are 10 minutes away while the best beach in SC is within 6 minutes over the Ben Sawyer Bridge at Sullivan’s Island. Travel back in time to a place where children and adults rule the local streets on bikes and on foot.

The mid-century home is located on a corner lot surround by shady oaks and a range of well-kept flowering plants and bushes. You park in a curved oyster shell driveway. The yellow front door is framed by a beautiful pink Peggy Martin rose vine made famous for surviving Hurricane Katrina. The fenced back garden has a hand-painted picnic table with seating for you and friends. There is a cedar screened-in porch to enjoy mosquito free relaxation in the cooler evening hours.

The open plan living room, dining room and kitchen have all been recently renovated and are decorated with a variety of art and furnishing reflective of the owners’ work and travels on every continent. As they are also foodies, the kitchen has a generous range of cooking tools and serving utensils. There is a food processor, microwave, dishwasher, convection oven, coffee machine, hand mixer and toaster. The open-plan space has been renovated completely within the past two years and now boasts beautiful marble countertops that bring a cool feeling to your kitchen performances.

The dining area includes an expandable round tiger oak table that is a family heirloom and looks out upon great garden views and the screened-in porch mentioned above. There is a TV, record player and PS4 in the living area.

The hallway leads to bathroom appointed with a bidet toilet, clawfoot bath and shower and heated towel racks. Further down the hall are the three bedrooms. The Master Bedroom includes a queen-sized bed and built-in wardrobes. The other corner bedroom features twin bed while the other bedroom has a bunk-bed. All bedrooms feature black-out curtains. Five can sleep comfortably in this home.

The maturing restaurant scene in Mt Pleasant competes equally with Charleston’s. A incredibly diverse range of food tastes can be satisfied now in the Town. If you want to cook your own, Wholefoods, Trader Joe’s, Publix, Harris Teeter and an Aldi are all just a few minutes by car to refresh your pantry during your stay. The Tuesday afternoon Mt Pleasant Farmer’s Market at Moultrie Middle School offers an opportunity to support local farm to table entrepreneurs as well as craftspeople from across the Low Country. At the market, locally grown strawberries can be purchased by the ½ bushel only 6 short blocks away. Even closer by, every morning you can collect fresh brown and blue eggs from the chicken coop in the back garden (please feel free to let the chickens out into their enclosure but be sure to close their front door before night closes in).

A little further away are an REI and one of the most thriving outdoor shopping venues in the United States at Market Center where you can also find the nearest Cinema.

As mentioned above, the eighteenth-century Old Village of Mt Pleasant is only a few blocks away where you can find locally owned boutique shops or enjoy a light snack or ice-cream at the Pitt Street Pharmacy. There is also a patisserie café and small gym located here. You might also enjoy a stop at our Old Village Library. At the other end of Pitt Street can be found the converted old trolly bridge that is an unbeatable morning stroll or even constitution with views of Fort Sumter, Charleston and Charleston’s harbor and a menagerie of waterfowl feasting in the thriving ecosystems that line the Cooper River.

We can assist in arranging walking tours, fossil collecting expeditions or fishing charters. Having helped transform the approach taken by historic sites towards interpreting history, we can recommend a variety of experiences that engage with the incredible history of the Low Country.
