5 Carondolet St, Charleston, SC, 29403

A short stroll from Hampton Park, 5 Carondolet Street brings classic Charleston character together with thoughtful contemporary upgrades. Built in 1930 and refreshed with an eye for coastal charm, the home welcomes you with rich hardwood floors and beadboard-accented walls that preserve period detail while keeping the palette clean and current.

The kitchen has been reimagined with practical, stylish touches: stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and a shiplap ceiling that gives the space character without fuss. The layout reads as efficient and liveable — cooking and entertaining flow easily from the kitchen to the adjacent deck, where evenings of grilling or small gatherings spill into the low-maintenance turf yard beyond.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable private quarters; the primary suite stands out with its private en suite bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower. Both secondary bedrooms are bright and versatile, easily accommodating guests, a home office, or hobby space. Practical systems include in-unit laundry and air conditioning, and the property’s two off-street parking spaces are an uncommon convenience for downtown living.

Outside, the deck and synthetic lawn offer a tidy outdoor retreat that’s friendly to low-effort upkeep. Living here puts you within easy walking distance of a remarkable collection of neighborhood favorites — Berkeley’s, The Archer, Leon’s, Tutti Pizza, Graft Wine Bar, Little Jack’s Tavern, Welton’s Bake Shop and more — so everyday errands and weekend plans are conveniently close. Best of all, this house sits outside a flood zone, a meaningful advantage in this part of town.

At roughly 1,122 square feet, this home represents a compact, refined option for buyers seeking authentic downtown Charleston living with modern conveniences. Whether you’re drawn to the nearby green space of Hampton Park or the strong walkability and local dining scene, 5 Carondolet Street offers a rare combination of location, style, and practicality.

This corner of Downtown Charleston offers a lively, walkable urban lifestyle balanced with pocketed green space. Residents enjoy easy access to Hampton Park’s lawns and oaks, plus a rich roster of local restaurants, wine bars and bakeries — from Leon’s fried chicken to Welton’s Bake Shop — that give the area a convivial, neighborhood feel. Streets are pedestrian-friendly and well served by small businesses, making daily errands and evening outings simple without needing to drive. The neighborhood’s combination of historic character and contemporary conveniences draws buyers seeking authentic Charleston living.
