About this home
Incredible opportunity to own a charming, fully furnished, freshly painted, and beautifully renovated cottage on an ideally located corner lot in downtown Charleston! Built in 1930, 139 Congress Street offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and just under 1,100 square feet of living space, blending modern conveniences with the historic character of the home. A traditional Charleston-style piazza with newly installed decking (2026) welcomes you into the home's inviting living space, anchored by the original exposed brick fireplace and chimney. Original exposed beams accentuate the vaulted ceiling spanning the living and dining areas, while a feature wall of rough-sawn shiplap, reclaimed and preserved from the home's original exterior siding, adds another layer of character.The fully equipped, open kitchen features bar-height seating, ample cabinetry, and a shallow pantry for additional storage. The original beadboard ceiling is a charming detail, while stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, disposal, and built-in microwave, complement the custom concrete countertops and reclaimed wood bar top crafted from the original piazza decking. Vaulted ceilings and reclaimed shiplap accent walls continue into both bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a deep built-in wardrobe system offering abundant hanging and storage space, while the second bedroom has a spacious reach-in closet. A Jack-and-Jill bathroom connects the two bedrooms and includes a double-sink vanity custom made from an antique furniture piece, a linen closet, and a separate water closet with a timeless ceramic tile shower (2022) and frameless glass enclosure. An additional half bath features a vessel sink and custom antique vanity. Just steps away, a spacious laundry room offers additional deep built-in storage cabinets, a second full-size refrigerator with freezer, and a second ceramic tile shower with frameless glass door. Outside, a private fenced patio provides another inviting place to relax, with reclaimed brick from the home's original kitchen chimney adding a unique historic touch. The space also offers room for recreational equipment and the potential for golf cart parking with a fence modification. Recent improvements include the updated ceramic tile shower in the Jack-and-Jill bath, recessed kitchen lighting, a new dishwasher, new piazza decking, and just-completed interior painting throughout. Walkable to Hampton Park and popular dining destinations including Leon's and Park & Grove, and conveniently located near The Citadel, MUSC, and the Crosstown, this fully furnished, turn-key Charleston cottage offers a wonderful combination of historic character, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional downtown location!
