The primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with generous dual walk in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a marble shower and a luxurious Jacuzzi soaking tub. Outside, a private courtyard unfolds as an urban sanctuary. The sparkling Gunite pool, shaded arbor, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces evoke the ambiance of a boutique resort, creating an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, evening cocktails, or peaceful afternoons beneath Charleston's signature canopy of blue skies. A private three car driveway, an exceptional amenity in Charleston's historic district provides coveted off-street parking while enhancing the property's rarity, versatility, and lasting investment appeal. Just moments from Charleston's celebrated culinary scene, charming boutiques, waterfront parks, and cultural landmarks, this remarkable residence offers more than a prestigious address, it presents an opportunity to experience one of America's most beloved historic cities from an incomparable setting where heritage, craftsmanship, and luxury converge.
South of Broad, located between the Battery and Broad Street, is a historic and waterfront Charleston neighborhood with grand piazza-lined mansions and quiet garden courtyards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along East Bay Street near Rainbow Row, where carriage tours, galleries, and waterfront promenades set a polished, walkable rhythm. The Battery and White Point Garden frame the southern edge with palmettos, cannons, and harbor views. Narrow lanes such as Church Street and Meeting Street showcase Charleston single houses, wrought-iron gates, and pastel masonry. The Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon and the Gibbes Museum of Art anchor the cultural calendar. Waterfront paths along Murray Boulevard and the nearby Charleston City Marina keep the Lowcountry landscape in view.
