40 Savage St

This historic single family home South of Broad offers a prime location in one of the peninsula's most coveted neighborhoods with abundant potential to create a truly stunning home. Approved and permitted plans issued by the City of Charleston have been obtained by the current owner so you can begin construction immediately upon purchase. The renovation, envisioned and designed by EE Fava Architects, transforms the home into a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath masterpiece with almost 1,800 square feet of living space. The approved plans include an entry foyer, formal living room, formal dining room, powder room and expanded kitchen on the first floor, along with a newly added flex room which could be used as a guest bedroom or study. The second floor features two primary suites, each with its own en suite bathroom, a laundry room and access to a covered porch. The approved BAR plans allow for an increase to 1780 square feet via a new addition and the approved BZA variance allows for the new addition to maintain its current rear setback. The house sits 11' above flood in an AE11 zone and has no history of flooding over the last decade. To accommodate FEMA requirements and allow for a full renovation, the house will be raised 2' to a level of 13' (AE11 + 2' freeboard), which has also been approved by the BAR. The front yard is fully fenced and spacious, and the property also offers ample off-street parking. The location is also ideal and places you within walking distance of Colonial Lake, the Battery, galleries, shops, restaurants, parks, and more.
