About this home
A rare opportunity to own a distinguished masonry Charleston Single House in the heart of historic Ansonborough. The Jonah M. Venning House, circa 1839, is an elegant residence featuring classic copper-clad piazzas, a private courtyard, and deep off-street parking, all within one of Charleston's most sought-after historic neighborhoods. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 31/2 baths, including true third-floor bedrooms, providing exceptional space and flexibility. Behind the main house are two separately metered residential units: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, creating opportunities for guest accommodations, multigenerational living, rental income, or future integration into a larger single-family estate.As part of the celebrated Ansonborough Rehabilitation Project, the property was carefully preserved as part of Charleston's ongoing commitment to protecting its architectural heritage. A conservation easement held by the Historic Charleston Foundation further ensures the stewardship of this important historic resource.
Lovingly maintained by the current owner since 1991, the home underwent a thoughtful restoration by renowned Charleston craftsman Richard Marks Restorations, Inc. in 2003, reflecting a deep respect for its historic character and enduring quality.
Additional highlights include:
- X Flood Zone designation, with no flood insurance currently required.
- Three electric meters serving the property.
- Recently vacated apartments with prior rental income of approximately $3,200 per month.
- Offers ability to combine main house and carriage apartments into one extraordinary residence.
The seller's preference is to convey the home fully furnished including the antiques that were selected for this home via separate bill of sale. This offers a truly turnkey opportunity to enjoy one of Charleston's treasured historic properties....
