1 Colleton Drive blends dazzling design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and effortless Low-country living in one beautifully reimagined home. Located in the heart of Byrnes Downs, one of Charleston's most walkable and beloved established neighborhoods, this fully transformed brick bungalow offers the charm of 1940s architecture paired with a comprehensive modern renovation.… Read More With downtown Charleston just one mile away--and the pedestrian greenway path only steps from the front door--you can enjoy a truly connected lifestyle that makes morning walks, biking into the peninsula, and strolling to Avondale's dining scene part of everyday living.Rebuilt from the studs up by Concept House Charleston Design + Renovations, this home has been intentionally redesigned to live larger, brighter, and more comfortably. The moment you enter, you're welcomed by a newly added architectural archway leading down the hallway, a detail that brings warmth and flow to the home's private wing. This soft arch is paired with a deeper, more dramatic signature arch framing the entry into the redesigned kitchen, adding a curated, high-end aesthetic usually found in luxury Charleston homes. A major component of the renovation was the full removal and replacement of all original cast-iron plumbing, which is common in this neighborhood and had inevitably corroded from age. Replacing this plumbing greatly improves water quality, reliability, and long-term function. A newly built mudroom with interior laundry adds convenience and practicality, creating an efficient transition space that enhances everyday living. The original single-bathroom layout was thoughtfully reconfigured to feature two fully remodeled bathrooms, each designed with new tile flooring, custom vanities, thoughtful lighting elements, and carefully selected finishes. The guest bathroom includes a Kohler Bellwether alcove soaking tub, known for durability and comfort. The primary suite offers a beautifully tiled walk-in shower and an oversized closet, a rare and valuable feature in historic Charleston cottages where storage is typically limited. The kitchen serves as the center of the home and showcases the craftsmanship that defines this renovation. It features custom solid-wood cabinetry, dovetail drawers, brass hardware, and a handcrafted butcher-block island that adds warmth and texture. Brand-new European-style Forno appliances provide both visual appeal and modern efficiency. The kitchen opens directly to a charming side patio, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow ideal for morning coffee, evening wine, or casual outdoor dining. Living spaces have been designed with flexibility in mind. The bright living room transitions into a light-filled sunroom, providing multiple options for relaxation, work-from-home setups, or a second lounge area. These spaces support modern lifestyles without sacrificing the cottage's original charm. Beyond aesthetics,1 Colleton Drive offers peace of mind with significant infrastructure upgrades. Improvements include a new roof (2024), upgraded electrical system permitted to 2025 standards, new (2025) energy-efficient windows with warranty, and a new (2025) Rheem 40-gallon water heater with a six-year warranty. The crawl space has been fully encapsulated, improving air quality and long-term structural health. The property also features a commercial grade gas-powered HVAC system with a new hood, ensuring comfortable climate control year-round. Outdoors, the home continues to shine with an oversized 2-car parking pad, a fully fenced backyard, and a powered shed equipped with water hookups. This setup is ideal for hobbies, gardening, creative outlet or storage. The spacious yard offers endless opportunities to create raised garden beds, lush landscaping, or window boxesfeatures that complement Charleston's distinctive cottage style.
