About this home
Situated in historic Wraggborough across from the landmark Aiken-Rhett house, your own piece of Charleston history is waiting to be written. A downtown oasis with a historic main home, carriage house, and heated pool awaits its new owners. Walkable to absolutely everything--world class dining, shopping, history, and culture. Framed by oak trees and mature landscaping, the classic 4-bedroom Charleston Single with 3,119 sq ft, circa 1830, and a 3-bedroom carriage house with 1,288 sqft have been meticulously restored and updated to accommodate modern living and entertaining. The wrought iron gates tangled with flowering jasmine welcomes visitors as they pass through to the wide piazza that opens to the heated pool in the secluded grounds between the main home and carriage house.Across the wide-planked original floors of the foyer, experience a true Charleston masterpiece, for which the owners, alongside the design team at McLaurin Parker, painstakingly restored every window, floorboard and fixture of this iconic home, including original heart of-pine wide plank floors, molding, and Cyprus wainscoting.
9' ceilings and original windows flood the first floor with light. To the right, a stately formal living room; to the left, a wallpapered stunner of a dining room, replete with China closet and secret, lacquered "naughty bar." Two working gas fireplaces warm each room.
Continue into the home's late-century expansion to find a powder room and spectacular open chef's kitchen, family room, and second staircase. Hand painted custom cabinetry, deep marble countertops, and ample storage abound. Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, plus two additional hidden wine-and-bubbly refrigerators. Take your coffee in a charming built-in breakfast nook overlooking the pool and garden, or in the generous family room flanked by built-in bookshelves.
On the second floor, follow the mahogany banister up to a wide landing that has been updated to modern living with a second powder room. An expansive primary suite includes a retired fireplace, dressing room, and separate hidden laundry room. Primary bath includes a large soaking tub, dual vanities, and large glass shower. The second bedroom includes an ensuite full bath and ample closet space.
Like out of a fairytale, wow your guests with the third bedroom, which peeks over the imposing walls of the Aiken-Rhett House, boasting its own retired fireplace, his-and-hers closets, and enveloping golden hour light.
Charm incarnate, ascend to the third floor as a period crystal light fixture casts a thousand tiny rainbows along the walls at the right time of day. The fourth bedroom features sloping ceilings, exposed beams and three custom built-in single beds with brass-pulled storage. Perfect for grandchildren or growing families. A full bath across the landing includes a deep clawfoot tub and original wide-plank floors.
Across the garden awaits a fully renovated carriage house with three bedrooms, two full baths and eat-in kitchen, perfect for multi-generational living, office space, or long-term rental income. This cozy residence has custom cabinetry and marble in the kitchen and bathrooms.
An attached garage offers ample storage, ice machine, stone work sink, additional washer/dryer for all those pool towels, and a half-bath for swimming guests.
Tucked away by the dark-bottom salt water pool is a city rarity: a brass-fixtured outdoor shower privately encased by lush plantings.
Ideal for entertaining, the covered piazza and surrounding paths and gardens feature outdoor lighting, irrigation, and a mosquito system. Swim or enjoy the view by the pool, surrounded by classic hardscaping, native plantings, and a fully-rebuilt stucco privacy wall climbing with greenery. Brand new automatic pool cover keeps little ones safe and maintenance to a minimum. Another Charleston rarity: a FULL BASEMENT with additional refrigerator, ping pong table, and garden/pool equipment, plus more storage.
Parking for six cars behind a coded, automatic gate. Copper gutters. Farrow and Ball palette, Urban Electric lighting. Waterworks fixtures. No detail has been spared!
Tucked along the edge of Historic Wraggborough, just two blocks from bustling King Street. Write the next chapter of your Charleston story at 26 Mary St. Truly a turnkey masterpiece in waiting.
