Property Description
A masterful restoration of historic elegance paired with modern refinement, this exceptional Downtown Charleston property offers a rare main residence with a fully renovated, detached back house--ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private guest suite. The thoughtfully restored main house retains its historic architectural details, requires no flood insurance, and is complemented by a 555-square-foot detached one-bedroom, one-bath cottage, not included in the main home's square footage. Inside the main residence, soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and classic transom windows above every doorway immediately establish a sense of scale and sophistication. Meticulously preserved architectural details honor the home's storied past, beginning with a dramaticfoyer featuring a custom built-in cabinet framed by dual archways that draw the eye to a truly grand staircasean architectural centerpiece that sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout. The living room unfolds as a bright and welcoming retreat, anchored by a striking bay window that fills the space with natural light throughout the day. Generous proportions create an airy environment well suited for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. A wide, beautifully cased opening seamlessly connects the living room to the dining room, allowing the spaces to flow while maintaining their architectural integrity. At the heart of the home, the spacious, light-filled kitchen blends refined design with exceptional functionality. A large center island, panel-ready appliances, and a six-burner ILVE gas range provide both beauty and performance, while an adjoining eat-in breakfast nook offers a comfortable space for everyday dining. Direct access to the backyard enhances effortless indoor-outdoor living, and the kitchen's central placement allows it to connect naturally to the dining room and study. Just off the dining room, a moody wet bar introduces a dramatic and sophisticated entertaining element, featuring striking Viola stone countertops, elegant gold shelving, and a dedicated wine refrigerator. Throughout the main house, exquisite trim details, four original fireplace mantels, and thoughtfully preserved elements reflect the home's historic roots.

Additional baths continue the elevated design aesthetic, including a second full bath with marble floors and a large glass-enclosed shower, as well as a stylish half bath finished with Jeremiah Brent wallpaper and a Carrara-and-polished-nickel vanity. Outdoors, the property offers a charming front porch accented by wrought-iron railings, a long driveway providing ample off-street parking, a golf cart garage, and a backyard well suited for entertaining or quiet enjoyment. Scalloped roofline trim and classic wood siding enhance the home's storybook curb appeal.
