Listing Details

This elegant 1860 Greek Revival brick home has been thoughtfully restored with one thing in mind: to preserve its historic integrity, a rare find in Charleston today, where so many homes have been stripped of significant architectural elements and instead modernized. The original features of this 19th century home include wide heart pine floors, 12-foot ceilings, plaster moldings and medallions, four sets of French doors onto the wide piazza, large central sliding doors, and three marble fireplaces. All rooms have been recently repainted in a neutral color. The European style eat-in kitchen has been described as a fantastic cook's kitchen and is a lovely place to gather while the cook works.The home was updated in 2020 with soapstone counter tops, under-counter lighting, and high-end appliances including a Wolf range, Viking refrigerator, and Asko dish-washer. There is a separate laundry room with storage and side-by-side Asko washer and dryer. The piazza adds 450sqft of outdoor living space with room for a dining table seating 8 to 10 people, and a second area for 4 to 6 wicker chairs for conversation as the breezes blow in from the west. The location is incomparable and most convenient for easy access to the airport, situated only ½ block from the Gaillard, restaurants, the Gibbes Museum, the Dewberry Hotel, groceries, a butcher shop, Pilates and yoga studios, and shopping. All this situated on higher ground than much of Charles-ton today. The home is secured behind a gated wall and includes one deeded parking spot. This home is move-in ready for someone who appreciates Charleston's historically preserved homes.
