A rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind Charleston estate while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make historic homes so special. This full studs-out renovation will thoughtfully convert an existing five-unit multifamily property into a grand single-family residence, restoring the home's original scale and charm while introducing entirely new systems and infrastructure for long-term quality and functionality. The renovation is designed around preservation, retaining the original heart pine floors, historic fireplaces, generous ceiling heights, original trim, and architectural details wherever possible. The original double piazza will be exposed and restored, bringing back one of the home's defining Charleston features. Behind the preserved historic character, the residence will receive all-new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and updated systems throughout. The property offers tremendous flexibility for the future owner. Multiple floor plan variations are available, allowing the residence to be tailored around the buyer's lifestyle, with the opportunity for additional entertaining, wellness, lounge, gym, or storage spaces. The site also provides options for a pool and detached ADU/pool house, creating the potential for a true private estate in the heart of Charleston. The property is being offered "as-is" at its current stage of interior framing. The purchase price reflects the property in its present condition and does not include completion of the remaining construction. Buyers will have the opportunity to work directly with our in-house custom builder, architecture, and design team to complete the renovation entirely to their specifications, selections, and budget. Final construction scope, finishes, floor plan, pool, ADU/pool house, and other upgrades will be priced separately based on the buyer's desired program. An exceptional opportunity to step into a significant historic renovation already underway and finish a Charleston home that combines preserved history, old-world character, and completely new systems--customized from this stage forward.
Mazyck-Wraggborough, located between King Street and Meeting Street, is a historic and residential Charleston neighborhood with pocket parks and grand single houses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Wragg Square, where shaded paths, benches, and a steady rhythm of walkers set a calm, city-center cadence. Brick sidewalks and wrought-iron details frame a streetscape of restored 19th-century homes and small apartment buildings. The Charleston Museum and the Aiken-Rhett House Museum anchor the area’s cultural gravity. Marion Square adds open lawn, seasonal markets, and festival energy a few blocks south. The Citadel’s parade grounds bring crisp geometry and daily motion to the northern edge.

Here is an opportunity to own a 5 unit multifamily rental in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina with lots of potential.
