About This Home
Welcome to 30 Darlington Avenue, a rare, almost 3000 sqft gem in the sought-after Wagener Terrace neighborhood of downtown Charleston. Nestled on an oversized 0.29-acre lot, this sprawling two-story home is one of the largest in the area and has excellent street presence, framed by the natural beauty of mature tropical landscaping. Located on high ground in one of the best streets in the neighborhood, this home is truly a standout. From the coastal-inspired white brick exterior to the freshly painted front door, this home makes a statement.Step inside to find an abundance of natural light pouring through the large bay window in the living room, highlighting the beautifully refinished hardwood floors (2024) and a stunning floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelfa perfect spot for a cozy breakfast nook or reading space.
The fully renovated kitchen (2024) is a dream, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, shaker-style cabinetry, a double wall oven, and a walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling storage seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry.
The widened archways create a natural flow between the living spaces, leading to the formal dining room with classic wall paneling and a charming sunroom just off the back.
Additional original features include the vintage-style phone nooks in the hallways.
A versatile bonus room was converted from the attached garage in the 1970s and has evolved into a bright and inviting living space.
The open layout provides ample space for lounging, entertaining, or even a play area, with a cozy reading nook tucked beneath the stairs.
Current owners had also considered making this wing of the home a large master suite.
Thoughtfully integrated into the home, this area serves as a comfortable retreat / family room.
Just off this space, a large multi-functional full bathroom and laundry room offers both convenience and practicality.
Featuring a walk-in shower with a handheld shower-head, it is a stylish, yet efficient space.
Whether serving as a guest bath, secondary suite, or mudroom for a future pool, this bathroom maximizes every inch of space.
Upstairs, the home offers an additional versatile living space, currently used as a home office but would work as a gym, playroom, or guest suite option with easy access to a full bathroom just down the stairs.
Note the other side of the home where you will find 4 bedrooms and 2 additional bathrooms.
The primary suite features an elegant bathroom with a black grid glass shower enclosure, marble-style tile, a sleek vanity & gold fixtures that add a sophisticated touch.
A beautifully renovated hallway bathroom serves three additional bedrooms, showcasing herringbone floor tiles, shower/bath combo and teak-style ceramic fluted tile accents. This space blends modern design with warmth, creating a stylish yet functional retreat for family or guests.
Other major upgrades include: New windows throughout (2024), New ductwork & HVAC (2020), New Roof (2020), Updated soffit & fascia with Hardie plank (2024).
Outside, the backyard is truly exceptionala private oasis enclosed by a wooden fence, featuring custom ipe wood deck with a drainage system underneath.
This gorgeous and spacious backyard has undergone a stunning transformation since the current owners first purchased the home. Lush, well-maintained grass now blankets the space, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere.
Two majestic historic oak trees provide shade and character, while elegant palm trees add a Lowcountry charm. A yard of this size is just not typical of the neighborhood!
Whether you're dreaming of a full-size or a plunge pool, this yard offers endless possibilities to tailor the space to your lifestyle.
With its thoughtful enhancements and expansive potential, this backyard is ready to become the perfect retreat for its next owner.
A concrete gated driveway leads to the solid, clean detached two-car garage, which has been upgraded with Hardie plank siding (2024).
Again, the combination of a large home, large lot and a 2 car garage is rarely found anywhere in Wagener Terrace or on the Charleston Peninsula.
Bonus - This home currently sits in a X flood zone on the high side of the street no flood insurance required.
With much of its original character still intact, 30 Darlington Avenue perfectly showcases the evolution of a period home.
Located just minutes from Hampton Park, top restaurants, and the best of downtown Charleston, this is a must-see!

About the Listing Agent
A typical day for Marshall Walker, Broker/Owner Marshall Walker of Marshall Walker Real Estate, can involve anything from selling homes to running meetings to...mowing lawns?
"It's important to take care of details, even the ones that you don't normally see real estate agents taking care of," Walker says. "One Sunday, a buyer client pulled up to his new home in a moving van and found me mowing the lawn! I just wanted the new owner to be happy."
Walker began serving people long
