Charleston real estate market in gradual rally after downtime

All things were in place for a strong Charleston area real estate market for years to come. There’s the warm climate, pro-business attitude, attractive locales in Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston counties and fairly reasonable prices. Not to mention the Atlantic Ocean, scenic marshes, top notch restaurants, historic sites, boating and fishing, the excitement of three pro sports teams … Then the inconceivable – at least at the time – happened.

Inverted floor plan, electronic gadgets give traditional Daniel Island home added appeal

Visualize a home’s third level being able to handle a social gathering like this: Guests watch TV from a deck with river views as homeowners grill burgers. Partygoers mingle in the family room and screened porch while party-throwers mix drinks in the kitchen. Sure, lots of houses have such conveniences. Yet typically they are spread among levels, are all downstairs or are on a ground floor – not up high where the Southern exposure is best. But that's the case at 543 Wando Landing St., situated in the Smythe Park section of Daniel Island. Read More
