Own a piece of West Ashley history! The King House, circa 1922, was constructed in the historic Maryville area and served as the King family household as they farmed the beautiful land overlooking the Ashley River. The property's majestic alley of 100 year old oaks serves as the centerpiece of a beautiful new neighborhood built by Crescent Homes, ''Avenue of Oaks,'' and the King House sits prominently on the largest lot in the community. Designed in the Georgian Revival style by architect Henry F. Walker, this stately home was built to take full advantage of the views of Oldtown Creek and the surrounding marshes. This light-filled home radiates charm when you enter the grand foyer and entrance hall with the character of original floors and trim details, giving the place an old soul. (mThe formal dining room occupies the front-right corner of the house, and the huge living room is on the left side, with a spacious sunroom past the glass-paned French doors. The kitchen is located behind the dining room, and is equipped with a large Thermador gas cooktop, ample cabinets, and glass French doors offering a view of the marsh. The grand primary suite has been beautifully renovated with a chic bathroom boasting a large freestanding tub, double vanities, a large tiled shower, and views of the creek. Two other large bedrooms occupy this floor, with a renovated bathroom on the hall and a conveniently placed laundry room. The additional bedrooms each connect to a beautiful upstairs sunroom that offers a second floor gathering space.
Perched on high dry ground, this property also has a rare English basement that is a usable heated and cooled space with windows and a small additional full bath. The lower level provides endless possibilities as an office space, game room, media room, gym and/or storage.
Located less than 10 minutes from downtown Charleston, and just minutes to schools, Whole Foods, and numerous restaurants, this convenient location can't be beat. This property served as the elegant sales center for the Avenue of Oaks community, and it is now available for someone to claim as the most prominent home in the neighborhood!
