This rare downtown sanctuary provides a resort-style experience with a fully private outdoor oasis in the heart of Harleston Village.Constructed in the mid-1830s, this Greek Revival-style residence--known in historic records as the Corbett-Irving House--reflects the timeless appeal of Harleston Village architecture while living beautifully for today. Expertly reimagined by Eddie Fava, a Charleston-based architect known for Historic preservation and expertly designed by Lauren Sanchez Design Ltd., this renovated Charleston home pairs architectural integrity with a serene, designer-driven interior. Every detail was selected to feel timeless,layered, and quietly luxurious.
