Located in the heart of Riverland Terrace, one of James Island's most sought-after neighborhoods, this lovely 3 bedroom/1 bathroom one-story cottage offers charm, character, and endless possibilities. Situated on a spacious corner lot that's just under a quarter-acre, opportunities abound for buyers looking to create their dream home with the flexibility of access from 2 streets. The home faces the iconic Avenue of Oaks on Wappoo Drive, while its detached garage fronts Capers Street, giving buyers more flexibility when designing the property layout. The detached 1-car garage offers additional storage and exciting potential--it could be transformed into a workshop, man-cave or she-shed, or rebuilt with an apartment above for rental income or guests. The property's prime location iswithin walking distance to local dining and shopping, the Terrace Theater, the municipal golf course, and two neighborhood parks. It's also just a short drive to James Island County Park. And with the neighborhood boat landing on the Intracoastal Waterway just a few blocks away, waterfront adventures are just moments away. Built in 1949, this home is a perfect example of the kind of structure they're talking about when they say "they don't build them like they used to." Solidly built, this charming cottage with hardwood and tiled floors throughout is ready for you to add your personal touches to create the perfect home. Step inside to find gleaming hardwood floors and a bright, inviting interior. The kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops, providing a clean, modern touch. The spacious bathroom features vintage black and white tile, a large vanity with dual sinks, and a new shower. All 3 bedrooms have solid hardwood flooring, as do the living and dining areas and center hall. The pull-down stairs lead to the attic that spans the entire length and width of the house, offering possible opportunity for expansion. While this home is perfectly livable as it is now, its timeless charm and well-preserved structure offer a rare opportunity for visionary buyers to create their one-of-a-kind dream home. Riverland Terrace is an established and relaxed neighborhood without an HOA, and plans activities that neighbors look forward to each year. This home offers a serene Lowcountry setting while being only minutes from downtown Charleston. With expansion potential - either outward or upward - this is a rare opportunity to customize a home in a coveted location. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of Riverland Terrace charm!
