    Only accepting 1 year lease terms Welcome to The Cumberland, a beautifully curated one-bedroom residence tucked inside one of downtown Charleston's most storied buildings on Cumberland Street steps from the Powder Magazine (est. 1713), around the corner from St. Philip's Church, and squarely in the heart of the city's historic French Quarter. The building itself sets the tone: a stately four-story stucco facade with a warm wood entrance door, window boxes spilling over with color, and the kind of formal presence that only comes from a structure that has anchored its corner of Charleston for generations. Horse-drawn carriage tours pass the front door; church bells carry on the breeze. You are, unmistakably, in the center of it all. Step inside and the apartment opens up with the defining feature of the building's bones: original exposed brick walls that rise to soaring ceilings finished with period crown molding. Floor-to-ceiling windows dressed in classic plantation shutters bring in the soft, filtered light of the peninsula, while the open-concept living and kitchen layout gives the space an easy, livable flow. A plush neutral sectional, glass coffee table, and large flat-screen smart TV anchor the living room every detail considered for the guest who works hard and unwinds just as well. A bold, large-format figurative painting draws the eye across the room, giving the space the confident, gallery-quality energy that sets it apart from a standard furnished rental. The kitchen is tailored and functional: sage-toned raised-panel cabinetry with crown molding detail, dark granite countertops, gas range, stainless appliances, and an undermount sink. A wall-mounted wine rack keeps your selections at arm's reach. The two-seat granite peninsula is the natural gathering spot morning coffee, an end-of-day pour, or a quick working lunch without ever leaving the apartment. The bedroom is a genuine retreat. Exposed brick wraps three walls, plantation shutters diffuse the light, and a full built-in wardrobe provides the kind of storage rarely found in a downtown apartment of this vintage. A dedicated work station with standing desk is already in place for the professional guest, making this an ideal base for an extended Charleston engagement. The en suite bathroom continues the home's elevated aesthetic: travertine-look tile surrounds a tub/shower combination, a dark espresso vanity with marble-top and brushed nickel fixtures speaks to careful, considered renovation, and an exposed brick accent wall ties the bath back to the soul of the building itself. The French Quarter has no shortage of reasons to stay out Husk, Maison, the Charleston City Market, the galleries of Queen Street, and the whole of King Street's dining corridor are all within comfortable walking distance. But a stay at The Cumberland has a way of making the apartment itself hard to leave. __ Parking spot included in secure garage across the street Pet policy: negotiable with an additional monthly fee In addition to a security deposit of one full month's rent and monthly rent, a move-out cleaning fee of $[X] is due upon signing the lease agreement Bookings of fewer than 90 days are subject to a 10% accommodations tax Included With Each Stay: We provide enough of the following to get you started: hotel-quality bath amenities (shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, body wash, lotion), mini dish/laundry detergents, and paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, tissues).
