301 Bennett Street is the picture-perfect Old Village house: a 1925 residence right off the harbor, behind a picturesque jasmine-covered arbor , on a third-of-an-acre corner lot between Pitt Street and the water. Houses of this character rarely come to market.A winding bluestone walkway leads to the front steps and fanlight entry. Wood floors run through a formal living room with a fireplace and a dining room whose French doors open to a deep screened porch overlooking the side lawn. A family room with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in bookcases flows into the open kitchen, with a gas range, a breakfast table area, and a rear entry to the garden terrace. Sunlight, high ceilings, and beautiful mouldings carry through every room.The grounds set the house apart. The bluestone terrace and fountain garden, with glimpses of sailboats in the Charleston harbor, give way to a broad lawn framed by clipped hedges beneath mature live-oaks. A vine-covered outdoor garden pavilion offers endless options for outdoor entertaining while also functioning as a shaded carport by day. The stone paver motor court off Venning Street provides ample off-street parking, and the house sits on high ground that does not require flood insurance.
Upstairs, the primary suite occupies the back half of the house with a private study , multiple closets, a bath with a soaking tub, glass shower, and double vanity. Two more generously sized bedrooms share a hall bath. At 2,854 square feet with three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the house lives far larger than its footprint.
Pitt Street's quaint shops and restaurants are a short block away, and the Pitt Street Bridge and Alhambra Hall are an easy bike ride. This is as good as it gets in the very heart of the Old Village: a house full of charm that checks every box you have been looking for.
