Welcome to 2716 E Clay Street, nestled in the heart of Church Hill! This 1880 historic charmer greets you with a wide front porch, a spacious front yard, and timeless character throughout. The home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, including a new roof in 2018, a renovated detached garage, fresh exterior paint, and more. Step inside to a welcoming foyer featuring the original wood staircase, beautifully uncovered after decades beneath paint. The large family room offers 9+ ft ceilings and a decorative fireplace, creating a cozy and inviting space. The kitchen provides excellent workspace with granite countertops and newer stainless-steel appliances. A flexible first-floor bedroom or office sits just off the kitchen, with enough space for a bed or a full work-from-home setup. A convenient full bath with shower is located nearby. Upstairs, the second bedroom-currently used as an office-features charming beadboard walls. The bright and airy primary bedroom includes two closets and an abundance of natural light. A full hall bathroom completes the second level. Outside, enjoy a brick patio and easy access to the garage, offering outstanding storage and workshop space. The renovation incorporated thoughtful historic touches, including reclaimed pieces from the original carriage doors and period-appropriate details. Located just around the corner from Second Bottle, Cobra Burger, Chimbo Sandwich Shoppe, and all your favorite Church Hill hot spots, this is truly a one-of-a-kind home in a fantastic location.
