A rose home that sits on the High Battery with panoramic views of the Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter has been listed for sale for $22,250,000. The John Ravenel House was first built in 1848 and was rebuilt after the 1886 earthquake.
The downtown home is on the market for the first time in more than seven years + features original mantles, hardwood floors, restored moldings and door surrounds, and historically-inspired ceiling medallions.
This preserved and renovated living space boasts eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms + three half bathrooms, and sits on a 0.41-acre property. “For nearly two hundred years, this home has been a hallmark of the Charleston cityscape; a property this resplendent and significant seldom graces the market,” said listing agent Scotty Brisson of The Cassina Group.
The home features:
- A three-story main residence
- A workshop + a guest house
- Private gardens
- An elevator
- A cinema room
- Wine storage
Fun fact: The foyer features a custom-patterned floor designed by local artist and decorative painter Karl Beckwith Smith, who hand-painted wallpaper in the home.
In addition to the grand living space the home also has a rooftop deck, private pool, spa, and lush landscaping which gives the space a sense of privacy in the heart of the city.
