The current owners have enjoyed this home as their primary residence for thirty years. A comprehensive renovation by Artis Construction introduced significant improvements while preserving the home's architectural integrity. Infrastructure upgrades include three HVAC systems, a full-house generator, a whole-home dehumidifier, a water pressure sensor, and a Tesla home charger in the garage. Recent enhancements in 2026 include among others, extensive interior and exterior repainting, newly installed landscaping, buffed and coated flooring on the main level, and a fully primed and painted roof backed by a transferable warranty, further reflecting the extraordinary level of care and investment made in the property. Approximately ten years ago, the home's entire brick exterior was meticulously re-pointed , reflecting the extraordinary level of care and investment that has defined the property's stewardship. Positioned on naturally high ground, the home also benefits from exceptional elevation that contributes to its long-term durability. The home's gracious living spaces are warm and inviting, with natural light pouring through original beveled glass windows. A gas fireplace serves as the focal point of the living room, which opens into the dining room to create an effortless flow for both everyday living and entertaining. Designed to accommodate gatherings of every scale, the home has comfortably welcomed cocktail parties of more than one hundred guests while remaining equally suited for quiet evenings at home. The generously sized dining room opens to a screened porch that serves as a true outdoor living room throughout every season. Overlooking the surrounding gardens, this inviting space creates a seamless extension of the home's interior. Just off the dining room, the butler's pantry is exceptionally equipped for entertaining with a built-in bar, wine cooler, and ice chest, making hosting both effortless and refined. Nearby, an oversized powder room, originally designed as a tea and coffee room, remains one of the home's most charming and unexpected spaces, blending historic character with everyday functionality. The renovated kitchen thoughtfully balances the home's historic architecture with modern convenience. Well-appointed with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, beverage refrigerator, generous island storage, and abundant workspace, it was designed to support everything from casual family meals to large gatherings. Its location just steps from the three-car garage, an extraordinary amenity in historic downtown Charleston, adds exceptional convenience to daily living. Upstairs, the primary suite provides a light filled retreat where original architectural details have been carefully preserved alongside modern comforts. A spacious walk-in closet, built-in television, and inviting reading nook create a private sanctuary, while the reading area offers a quiet transition into the spacious primary bath. The additional three bedrooms are generously proportioned, each featuring its own en suite bath to provide privacy. Even the laundry room has been thoughtfully designed, elevating a practical space with beautiful finishes and exceptional functionality. Originally operated as a boarding house, the home retains its secondary staircase and rear access that offer a connection to its history while providing added flexibility for today's living. These preserved architectural elements enrich the home's character and tell the story of its evolution over time. In addition to a three car garage there is ample street parking along South Battery, Council Street, and neighboring streets to provide added convenience for guests. Both the front and back yards are gated and fenced to allow for pets to enjoy.
