The second floor provides a bonus area which could be a great spot for a children's play area, work out space or an additional sitting room.

There is also an amazing apartment or in-law suite that occupies the full left side of the home. There is a private entrance from the front porch, the main living room as well as the lanai. This space could be used for those friends and family that love to visit Charleston, an aging parent that wants to be close to the family or an older child not quite ready to leave the nest.
