True Southern Historic Charm by the Battery with Enchanting Charleston Gardens

Historic Downtown Charleston Single Home Steps Away From Rainbow Row

Constructed circa 1830, this authentic Charleston “single home” features four bedrooms and four bathrooms with three floors. Stepping inside, you are greeted by timeless elegance carefully decorated with period antiques, crystal chandeliers and rich mahogany. The main living space comes complete with rich upholstery and fine accents. The kitchen is bathed in natural light showcasing crisp marble countertops and new appliances. True to historic design, all the main floor rooms invite you onto the piazza for entertaining or catching the harbor breeze with a glass of wine in hand. Up the grand stairway, you will find two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a stunning four-poster mahogany king bed and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom features a queen bed with two day beds and a bathroom.
Up the stairs to the third floor are two large dormer bedrooms with extraordinary windows offering prime views of the historic Battery. The two bedrooms are joined by a bathroom.
This South Battery home is fully enclosed and terraced in bricks. The main gardens feature evergreens and flowers for guests to enjoy year round. At its center, the garden showcases a shallow reflecting pool with an Italian fountain.
