About this home
Welcome to 563 Rutledge Avenue. A masterful, head-to-toe renovation of a classic Charleston single, reconfigured as a turnkey duplex and ideally set between the Westside and Hampton Park Terrace, one of the peninsula's most walkable and beloved historic neighborhoods. Just steps from 60-acre Hampton Park, this 2,011-square-foot property blends early-20th-century character with reimagined modern living, offering rare flexibility in a location this coveted: With each unit composed of 2 Bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Live in one unit and let the other offset your mortgage, or hold both as an income property. Inside, a light, updated aesthetic meets historic Charleston, with white oak floors, exposed dual fireplaces, and crown moulding throughout.Gothic tracery bay windows draw plenty of natural light deep into the main living space. Each unit offers two bedrooms and a full bath, with kitchens and baths finished to the same elevated standard, equally suited to comfortable everyday living or strong rental appeal. Outside, a large backyard and deck create a private retreat for morning coffee, dining al fresco, or entertaining under the Lowcountry sky, and two off-street parking spaces add a convenience that's hard to come by downtown. What truly sets this home apart is the lifestyle at your doorstep. Start with coffee and a breakfast sandwich at Odd Duck Market, two blocks up Rutledge, then walk the gardens at Hampton Park. From there it's Sightsee for a slower afternoon cup, Huriyali Gardens for a smoothie or grain bowl under the oaks, wood-fired pizza and natural wine at Renzo, sandwiches and craft beer on the porch at Berkeley's, and Park & Grove just around the corner for brunch or dinner. Head south on Rutledge for Filipino at Kultura and espresso at Nook, or hop over to upper King for Leon's Oyster Shop, Little Jack's Tavern, Chubby Fish, and Melfi's. The Citadel, Joseph P. Riley Jr. Park (home of the RiverDogs), MUSC, and the heart of downtown are all within easy reach. Historic character, the peace of mind that comes with a new build (everything in this house has been replaced) elevated finishes, and a flexible floor plan that rarely comes available. This is upper-peninsula Charleston living at its best. Schedule your showing today.
Westside, located between the Ashley River and Hampton Park, is a historic and residential Charleston neighborhood with a working waterfront edge and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Spring Street corridor near the Crosstown, where corner stores, small galleries, and late-night bites sit beside long-time workshops. Shotgun houses and Charleston single homes mix with newer infill, keeping the blocks visually varied. Revelry Brewing Co. and The Harbinger Cafe & Bakery act as local anchors for coffee-and-patio afternoons and brewery nights. The Citadel’s parade grounds and Hampton Park’s lagoons frame daily routines with open sky and marching-band cadence. Waterfront views and pocket parks give the grid a breezy, walkable feel.
