Behind a private gated entry framed by mature live oaks, 169 Wentworth Street offers an extraordinary blend of Charleston history and modern livability. 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. Sunlight fills the interiors, enhanced by twelve-foot high ceilings and generous windows, while a dramatic steel-framed wall of glass at the rear of the home creates a stunning connection to the garden and courtyard beyond. The main level is designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining, featuring a grand foyer, a welcoming living room, and a kitchen with a large island, fireplace, and bar. A butler's pantry adds effortless function for hosting and storage.
