About this home
Step into the heart of Charleston's Historic French Quarter and discover 26 Queen Street, a fully restored circa 1790 gem located in the sought-after Johnson's Row. Mere yards from iconic landmarks like Dock Street Theatre, the Huguenot Church, and St. Philip's Church, this exceptional property blends 18th-century charm with modern luxury across nearly 4,000 square feet of living space. The 3,000 SF main house welcomes you through an arched entryway with an antique iron gate, leading into elegant interiors with tall ceilings, original hardwood floors, and historic mantels. A highlight is the unpainted cypress-paneled dining room—believed to be the last of its kind in Charleston. The renovated kitchen features brands like Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and the entire residence has been restored and refinished in 2020/2021 to appeal to the modern buyer while still retaining its authentic period charm. Enjoy the hand-painted walls featuring murals and custom details, all artfully executed by renowned local artisan Karl Beckwith Smith.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a cedar closet, wood-burning fireplace, and luxurious full bath. Complementing the primary suite is a very comfortable office or additional bedroom with a balcony overlooking the gardens. This charming space could also make a generous dressing room for any true collector of couture. All fireplaces have been updated to be compatible with gas, chimneys relined, and dampers replaced. Other features include original 18th-century doors with custom graining, all-new electrical, sump pump system tied to city drainage, and newer HVAC systems for year-round comfort.
The 966 SF detached guest house offers two bedrooms, a full bath, and an efficient kitchen, ideal for visitors or additional rental potential. Enjoy beautiful views of St. Philip's churchyard, abundant natural light, and complete privacy in this studio/carriage house.
Set in an X flood zone, this property requires no flood insurance. Relax in the lush Charleston courtyard gardens, and enjoy convenient on-street parking with two city passes available for owners.
This is a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind piece of Charleston's storied culture, modernized for today's lifestyle, yet timeless in its authenticity and historic charms.
