Built circa 1860, the Michael McGorty House in Charleston's Historic French Quarter is a three-story masonry dwelling with exposed brick constructed on high ground. With nearly 2,700 sq.ft., this property is sure to impress with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, intricate moldings and medallions, as well as stately mantels/fireplaces throughout. Designed for entertaining, the first floor features a spacious formal living room with an adjacent flex space, perfect for extra seating or use as a bar area. Completing this level is a quaint bedroom with access to a small kitchenette, full bathroom and private courtyard - the ideal in-law suite. Flooded with natural light, the second floor offers a large drawing room or possible second bedroom overlookingState Street, an adjoining office or breakfast nook and the kitchen. Brimming with potential, the third floor provides a huge master bedroom with ample storage and closet space, a full bathroom with dual vanity, plus an additional bedroom that could easily be converted into a large master closet or dressing room. A true lock-and-leave, this home is convenient to Charleston's most popular restaurants, shops, art galleries and more making this the epitome of downtown living.
