“The deep appreciation for the home’s history and commitment to its exquisite restoration has resulted in a remarkable residence,” said listing agent Robertson Allen. 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.
