About this home
A Charleston Treasure Rooted in Reverence and RestorationWelcome to 88 Smith Street--an extraordinary Craftsman-style residence in the heart of historic Harleston Village. Built in 1935 and thoughtfully renovated, this 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home blends timeless charm with modern elegance on an expansive half-acre in downtown Charleston, two-car garage and long drive with off-street parking.This home occupies land once part of both the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church's & Ephrath Burial Grounds, dating back to the late 18th century. While the cemeteries ceased use in 1866, its legacy remains. Today, the home's owners have approached its history with deep respect--engaging community leaders, preservationists, and historians to ensure the past is not hidden, but honored.As one of Charleston's African American burial sites, this land holds stories of faith, love, and resilience. That legacy is now interwoven into the thoughtful restoration of this historic property.
Inside, original hardwood floors, French doors with glass knobs, and custom millwork speak to the home's architectural heritage, while the reimagined kitchenfeaturing custom cabinetry, a 48" Big Chill gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and brass fixturesreflects the finest in modern craftsmanship. The living room retains its original (non-working) fireplace, preserving a sense of warmth and character.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private dressing room and a bath ensuite. Three additional bedrooms and two additional baths offer flexibility for guests or family. A full-height, dry basement with a separate entrance and utility meter offers over 1,100 square feet of opportunityperfect for a wine cellar, art studio, storage, or future apartment.
Outdoors, double piazzas with handcrafted ironwork overlook a generous yard with heritage trees and space for gardens or gatherings. Recent upgrades include new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof coating, and a professionally restored foundation with transferable warranty.
Located within walking distance of Charleston's Medical District, King Street shops, the City Marina, and the iconic South of Broad neighborhood, 88 Smith Street offers rare scale, story, and soul in a setting of quiet distinction.
