The historic Job Palmer House at 166 Wentworth Street is a stunning Charleston Single home that was built circa 1809 and previously restored in the 1960's. The owners have completed a meticulous renovation on the existing structure and added a new kitchen wing with a sweeping view of the exquisite garden. This solid brick three story home has a double-tiered piazza with an elegant door architrave. The interior's soaring ceilings, crystal chandeliers and original staircase create an elegance only to be found in homes of this lineage. The owner, a master gardener, along with landscape architect, Robert Chestnut, created an enchanting garden that also allows for off-street parking and several outdoor alcoves creating a wonderful outdoor entertaining space. Attention to detail in the landscaping and outdoor lighting set the stage for old world ambiance. This is a truly wonderful opportunity to live in historic Charleston's beautiful Harleston Village neighborhood. Enjoy the downtown lifestyle with the Battery, incredible restaurants and shopping just a few minutes away.
