About this home
c. 1852 — The McMakin-Bicaise House. Located in Harleston Village in downtown Charleston, the McMakin-Bicaise House is a three-story masonry home with a gabled slate roof and triple-tiered, semi-circular piazzas. The property also includes a carriage house with a garage, a pool site, and off-street parking for several vehicles. Both the primary residence and the carriage house were recently recognized by the Historic Charleston Foundation for outstanding restoration work following an extensive renovation lasting more than two years. Inside the main home, over 3,400 square feet of living space unfold with 4 bedrooms and 4½ baths. The interiors feature exposed brick walls and joists, imported French oak floors, and tall windows that invite natural light throughout.
The thoughtfully reimagined layout blends historic charm with modern convenience, offering multiple living areas, spacious bedrooms, and luxurious kitchens and baths. The main residence is also equipped with smart-home technology.
Generously scaled piazzas and a private sun deck provide abundant outdoor living space, ideal for entertaining or a quiet retreat.
The carriage house offers an additional 2 bedrooms and 1½ baths, perfect for extended family, guests, or flexible use.
Set just two blocks from MUSC and a short walk to the College of Charleston, this home occupies the heart of the city while offering privacy behind its garden walls. Whether cherished as a full-time residence or adapted for multigenerational living, 109 Rutledge Avenue presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a celebrated piece of Charleston history.
