A masterful restoration of historic elegance paired with modern refinement, this exceptional Downtown Charleston property offers a rare main residence with a fully renovated, detached back house--ideal for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private guest suite.

Inside the main residence, soaring 10-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, and classic transom windows above every doorway immediately establish a sense of scale and sophistication. Meticulously preserved architectural details honor the home's storied past, beginning with a dramaticfoyer featuring a custom built-in cabinet framed by dual archways that draw the eye to a truly grand staircasean architectural centerpiece that sets the tone for the craftsmanship throughout. The living room unfolds as a bright and welcoming retreat, anchored by a striking bay window that fills the space with natural light throughout the day. Generous proportions create an airy environment well suited for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining. A wide, beautifully cased opening seamlessly connects the living room to the dining room, allowing the spaces to flow while maintaining their architectural integrity.
