About this home
Located in the heart of Mount Pleasant's Historic Old Village neighborhood just steps from Pitt Street, this quintessential Lowcountry home exudes turnkey warmth and curb appeal. Designed by architect Heather Wilson and expertly decorated, 517 Whilden Street merges the best of traditional architectural inspiration with chic design elements and livability. The crisp white exterior is framed by grand oaks and picket fencing, with a crushed slate drive for two cars welcoming you home. Inside the enclosed courtyard, a herringbone path leads to a classic southern front porch, which opens into a gracious entry hall, where the elegant dining room is situated on the right. Schumacher wallpaper creates an elevated ambiance in the dining room, with windows on three sides bringing in light and glimpses of live oak trees. As the entry hall transitions into the main body of the home, there is a powder room tucked under the stairs with designer lighting and a custom Schumacher skirt wrapping the pedestal sink. A convenient coat closet featuring double hung bars is tucked into a vestibule that provides a central connection point for the home's tech systems. Echoing the architectural traditions of Historic Charleston, a "hyphen" space connects the front areas of the house to the kitchen and great room - a cozy space perfect for a chic home office or dedicated play nook with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookshelves.
The highly functional kitchen has been beautifully updated with white marble counters, custom cabinetry, a dedicated pantry and luxury hardware and lighting. Walls and ceilings in the kitchen and living area are clad in shiplap, with a brick gas fireplace providing a visual anchor for the open space. Warm and light-filled, the open kitchen and living area features the same beautiful, reclaimed heart pine floors found throughout the first floor, as well as updated lighting and custom window treatments. Mahogany French doors provide an easy transition from the living area to the generously sized screened-in sitting area where you can enjoy al fresco lounging and dining with garden views. The porch features the same Sonos-wired sound speakers as are in every room on the entry level of the home. An Ipe grilling porch with a permanently piped gas connection is easily accessed from the kitchen via a door off the hyphen space.
Beyond a small vestibule providing separation from the main living areas, the primary suite is a private and serene retreat with views of the garden. Swathed in Schumacher grasscloth wallpaper and custom window treatments, the primary bedroom conveys comfortable elegance and calm. The primary bath is bright and airy, with separate white marble vanities, marble tile and a freestanding Victoria & Albert tub. The enormous primary walk-in closet has been substantially upgraded with custom built-in dressers and shelving, with washer and dryer connections still available behind the built-ins if needed.
From the entry hall, the stairs with a custom runner lead to an upper hall with built-in shelving and cabinets, and the laundry closet with a new washer and dryer. All the bedrooms on this level are finished with Phillip Jeffries grasscloth wallpaper, custom window treatments, and updated lighting, elevating these rooms to the same high standards of the primary suite. Each bedroom also hosts its own large custom closet for dedicated organization and storage. Two of the secondary bedrooms have en suite access to attached baths, while the third upstairs bedroom has easy bath access from the hall. Upstairs windows provide glimpses of mature oaks and manicured garden spaces.
On the other side of a herringbone landing in the back garden, an attractive detached storage building offers the ideal space for a workshop or storage, with a beautifully finished and air-conditioned private office above. The office has been finished with wood floors, shiplap walls and ceiling and hard-wired internet connection for a private and highly functional dedicated office.
The outdoor spaces at 517 Whilden are equally inviting, featuring freshly-painted fencing that encloses the entire property. Enjoy new lush grass, a cozy firepit area and thoughtfully designed uplighting and path lights. The grounds are enhanced by well-maintained trees and a charming cutting garden with orange, lemon, lime, olive and fig trees.
The Old Village's coveted amenities are nearby, including pickleball courts, the newly renovated Old Village tennis courts, the charm of Pitt Street and its shops and restaurants, Mount Pleasant Academy, newly renovated Alhambra Hall and playground and the Pitt Street bridge to name a few. The detached shed and office space offers an additional 274 sq. ft. not included in the total square footage. With two new HVAC units (2025 and 2023), recent tankless water heater, and too many other improvements to list here, 517 Whilden Street is an immaculate and turnkey property that does not need any editing to be your perfect Old Village home!
