Great 1BR Condo for Sale in Historic Downtown Charleston – 114-D Beaufain Street

I am happy to be listing this truly rare property overlooking Colonial Lake in Harleston Village. It’s a great one-bedroom condo at 114-D Beaufain Street with tons of great features like light-filled rooms, eat-in-kitchen with granite counters, and heart pine floors. But the best things about it is the gorgeous 10X20 piazza (that’s a porch to you non-Charlestonians 😉 .)...

For the Love of Colonial Lake

For six years Colonial Lake has marked the rhythm of my life, constant and changing. It is the first thing I see when I get up in the morning and sip my steaming coffee, and the last thing I see before I lock the door, pull down the shades, and turn in for the night. It is my sunrise and...

Mayor Riley’s 2012 State of the City Address – a focus on Charleston developments and my two cents

On January 24, Mayor Joseph Riley gave his State of the City address, outlining what has been accomplished in Charleston, his vision for the (last?) four years of his term, and ongoing City initiatives. I thought I’d pull out the text regarding the developments on the Charleston peninsula, many of which I have mentioned in the past on this blog...

All about Downtown Charleston’s Neighborhoods – a map, descriptions and more.

I created this Charleston neighborhood map years ago at the start of my ongoing project to eventually profile every single neighborhood on the Charleston Peninsula, including photos, videos, recreation, school, shops, restaurants and services. But since many of you ask ‘Which Charleston neighborhood is best for me?”, I thought I’d go ahead and give you a head start. You might...

Want to buy a home for $200,000 less than List Price? Here’s how.

I hear this all the time. I SAY this all the time. “That house is overpriced by $X! They’re crazy if they think they can get that amount for their house! Well, I never!” But does it really matter? Not to you as a buyer. If a seller wants to go ahead and put a silly or inflated number...
