145 darlington avenue

Located in one of downtown Charleston's most sought-after upper peninsula neighborhoods, this move-in ready, two-story home will exceed your expectations. Light-filled and turnkey, 145 Darlington Avenue has been beautifully and tastefully renovated, eschewing trends in favor of timelessness and sophistication. From the front door, the eye-catching solid brass entry hardware and house numbers are a signal for the quality and attention to detail that awaits inside.

To the left of the entry is the bright living room and beyond that is the renovated eat-in kitchen with bay window.
