Situated on a rare double lot, the gated property offers exceptional privacy, abundant natural light, and expansive outdoor living spaces designed for effortless entertaining. Double piazzas overlook beautifully landscaped grounds, while a series of brick courtyards, stone patios, fountains, and manicured lawns create a true garden retreat in the center of historic Charleston. The generous backyard also offers ample room for the addition of a pool.Inside, a gracious entry foyer introduces the home's classic floor plan and remarkable craftsmanship. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, each filled with sunlight from oversized windows and accented by heart pine floors, intricate moldings, crystal chandeliers, and marble-surround fireplaces. Fourteen sets of French doors seamlessly connect the interior spaces with the piazzas and gardens beyond, enhancing the home's airy, light-filled ambiance.
The renovated gourmet kitchen pairs historic character with modern sophistication, featuring quartz countertops, custom white cabinetry, contemporary lighting, and a spacious center island. Adjacent spaces include a butler's pantry, mudroom, and a charming sitting room at the rear of the home that overlooks the gardens and offers direct outdoor access, creating the perfect setting for relaxed everyday living.
All four bedrooms are located on the upper floors, including a beautifully appointed primary suite on the second floor featuring a fireplace and elegant en-suite bath with a dual vanity, refined finishes, and a tiled shower. Also on the second floor is a spacious parlor, ideal for a private office, den, or additional sitting room. A private rear staircase leads to the fourth bedroom, offering flexibility and privacy for guests, an office, or additional living space.
The upper levels enjoy exceptional natural light and beautiful views, with especially stunning vistas from the third floor. Additional guest accommodations are generously sized and complemented by a well-finished bath.
The grounds are equally impressive, enhanced by mature landscaping with tea olives, magnolias, azaleas, and palmettos. Charleston brick walls frame the lush lawn, which leads to an intimate circular garden courtyard.
