Berkeley Court Apartments:
Originally constructed in 1922, Berkeley Court at 63 Rutledge Avenue stands as one of downtown Charleston's rare examples of early 20th-century Art Deco-influenced architecture, offering a distinctive contrast to the city's more traditional historic styles. Designed during a period of growth and modernization, the building features a brick veneer exterior (later stuccoed) and was developed alongside its "sister" property, the Fort Sumter Hotel, reflecting a cohesive architectural vision of the era. Over time, Berkeley Court transitioned from its original use into individually owned residences in the 1970s, preserving its historic character while adapting to modern living. Ideally positioned across from Colonial Lake in the heart of Harleston Village, the property combines architectural significance with one of Charleston's most iconic and walkable waterfront settings.
Colonial Lake:
Steeped in Charleston's rich history, Colonial Lake is a picturesque tidal pond and park dating back to 1768, when the land was first set aside "for the common use" of residents--a legacy of public enjoyment that continues today. Originally known as Rutledge Street Pond, the lake was formally developed in the late 19th century, with its signature promenade, concrete embankments, and landscaped park completed by the 1880s. Today, this beloved 10-acre setting offers wide walking paths, scenic water views, and a vibrant gathering place just steps from 63 Rutledge Avenue--perfect for morning strolls, evening sunsets, and experiencing one of Charleston's most enduring and iconic neighborhood parks....
