Timeless Charm on the Wappoo Cut: A 1930s Cottage in Riverland Terrace

Welcome home to this original 1930s Southern cottage, tucked behind a private iron gate and shaded by grand live oaks. Set on 1.6 acres, the property offers timeless charm and one of the most picturesque backyards on the prestigious Wappoo Cut.

Rich in character, well maintained, and full of potential, it captures the essence of Lowcountry living—just minutes from historic downtown Charleston.

• Light-Filled Interiors with Historic Character

Inside, the home offers over 3,400 square feet with a layout that balances character and livability. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light and provide water views from nearly every room. Multiple fireplaces, original built-ins, and thoughtfully designed living spaces reflect the warmth and craftsmanship of a bygone era.

Flexible living areas and multiple bedrooms provide comfort for everyday living as well as effortless hosting, while an unfinished attic offers the opportunity to expand with additional bedrooms, office space, or a loft-style retreat.

• Inviting Indoor–Outdoor Living

A gracious wraparound front porch welcomes you, while a covered back porch, rear brick patio, and garden courtyard create the perfect setting to relax, entertain, or reimagine the space to suit your vision.

• Expansive Grounds & Recent Updates

The grounds are the true centerpiece—framed by mature trees and river views, creating a peaceful, expansive backdrop for daily life. The expansive backyard is anchored by a newly rebuilt private seawall along the tidal waterway, offering ample room for future expansion or even a pool.

Recent updates, including a new roof and new upstairs HVAC system, provide comfort and peace of mind.

• Possibilities to Expand

An unfinished attic presents additional opportunity to increase square footage — ideal for extra bedrooms, office space, or a loft-style retreat—all without altering the home’s footprint.

• Prime Location & Lifestyle

Established in the 1920s, Riverland Terrace remains one of James Island’s most desirable neighborhoods, celebrated for its shaded avenues of live oaks, coveted waterfront lifestyle, and close-knit charm. Residents enjoy convenient access to a community boat landing and a scenic waterfront park complete with a children’s playground — all within minutes of Charleston’s historic center.

This is a rare chance to own a piece of Charleston’s history—meticulously maintained and full of potential to update and make your own.
