St. Anns Alley is an in-town community of 34 single-family homes in the booming West Columbia River District developed by Spring Street Partners. St Anns Alley is bounded by Center, Spring, Herman and Augusta streets. The new community takes its name from the St. Ann’s Rescue Mission, a home for boys, that was located in this area during the late 1800s.
The homes are all two or three bedrooms and two and a half baths. They range in size from approximately 1,100 square feet to just over 1,600 square feet. Each house will have its own yard and two parking spaces. Allison Ramsey Architects of Beaufort has designed four basic models with varying interior layouts and color schemes to be built in St Anns Alley. Each home is uniquely designed by plan and color for each lot to ensure the character of the neighborhood. Each home is also designed for maximum living space and features 9-foot ceilings, fiber cement siding exterior, and extensive trim and quality finishes.
St Anns Alley’s designs draw inspiration from the existing architecture of West Columbia, said Architect Cooter Ramsey. “Since this is an urban infill project within an existing historic neighborhood we wanted to fit in, but also improve upon what’s there. We incorporated some of the local details, colors, and materials used by some of the historic neighboring buildings.”
The community is being built in stages and the first seven houses are expected to be ready for homeowners to move in by early summer. Prices for the initial homes range from $232,950.00 to $249,000.00. Marketing and presale for St Anns Alley is being handled exclusively by the Wheeler & Wheeler team licensed with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.
