This outstanding home in sought-after South of Broad neighborhood, just one block from Battery Park, is in immaculate, move-in condition. Built in 1968, renovated in and out by Charleston's premiere architect Robert Chesnut in 2004 and additional recent updates, it captures the look of history without the accompanying headaches of a centuries-old property. The breathtaking, intimate walled gardens with gazebo, fountain, stone patios, wooden deck, lush plantings and accessories have been integrated into the design of the house, allowing for garden views from most windows. Lovingly cared for by current owners of their part-time "second" home,all furnishings were selected and purchased specifically for this home by a renowned Washington, DC designer, and are available for purchase.
