About this home
Welcome to a truly exceptional residence where refined elegance and thoughtful design converge. Ideally located in Ansonborough, one of downtown Charleston's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods, this fully renovated historic home offers a rare blend of architectural character, modern luxury, and effortless livability.Meticulously updated inside and out, the home unfolds with light-filled interiors, gracious proportions, and soaring ceilings. Rich hardwood floors, designer lighting, and curated finishes create a warm yet sophisticated aesthetic, while the seamless flow between living spaces is perfectly suited for both elevated entertaining and everyday living.The elegant living room is anchored by a gas fireplace and flows seamlessly into the dining room and chef's kitchen--the true heart of the home. Designed to the highest standard, the kitchen features custom cabinetry, a statement waterfall island, and premium appliances including a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele coffee system, and Bosch dishwasher. A thoughtfully placed pantry and powder room add convenience to this central gathering space.

Outdoor living is equally compelling.

Double piazzas offer additional space to unwind, while gated off-street parking for three vehicles is a rare and valuable amenity downtown.

The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanity, marble finishes, and heated floors, along with a generous walk-in closet and dedicated laundry.
Additional guest accommodations are thoughtfully distributed throughout the home. A charming rear guest suite features exposed beams in the bedroom, an en-suite bath, and its own washer/dryer, while the third floor offers another private bedroom suite with full bath and storage.
