The Nathaniel Ingraham House, circa 1810, is a rare opportunity to own a distinguished residence along Charleston's iconic High Battery. Positioned on the waterfront, this remarkable four-story brick and stucco home captures sweeping views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter while offering a remarkable sense of privacy and quiet rarely found downtown. One of the few remaining single-family homes on the Battery, the property represents an extraordinary blend of preserved architectural significance and refined Lowcountry living.Designed to take full advantage of its extraordinary setting, the home is oriented toward the harbor, with breathtaking water views immediately revealed through the grand living room's towering windows. Soaring ceilings, original heart pine floors, restored moldings, finely carved mantels, and a Venetian chandelier reflect the home's rich architectural history, while gracious proportions and abundant natural light create an atmosphere that feels both elegant and inviting. Thick masonry walls and elevated views further enhance the home's sense of tranquility and permanence. Recent improvements by the current owner include refinished heart pine floors, fresh interior paint, and the installation of two new HVAC units, thoughtfully enhancing the home while preserving its historic character. A thoughtfully executed 2007 addition introduced a spacious kitchen that opens seamlessly to the piazza through five sets of French doors, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The addition also incorporated an elevator servicing the first two floors and enhanced functionality for modern living while remaining true to the home's historic character. The second-floor primary suite enjoys exceptional harbor views and is accompanied by an additional guest suite with a distinctive cypress-paneled ceiling and full bath. The third floor offers three generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, all notable for their scale, light, and character, with many rooms enjoying captivating water views. The garden level is designed for both entertaining and wellness, featuring a paneled billiard room, secondary kitchen and living area, bedroom suite, sauna, steam shower, exercise room, laundry room, and direct access to a private outdoor terrace.

Murray Boulevard. Waterfront. Reimagined. Unapologetically Modern. Set along Charleston's most iconic waterfront corridor, this fully reimagined contemporary residence delivers something South of Broad almost never sees: true modern architecture directly on the water, wrapped in uninterrupted views of the Charleston Harbor, Ashley River, the Battery promenade, and the city skyline beyond. This isn't traditional Charleston. This is Charleston with an edge. From the moment you enter, the home opens itself completely to the water. Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the harbor like living artwork while Fleetwood retractable doors disappear entirely, dissolving the line between indoors and out. Sailboats drift past the Battery. Sunsets flood the interiors. The entire home feels cinematic.Completely transformed in 2021, the residence was designed to live like a private luxury resort; bold architecture softened by natural light, warm textures, and a seamless connection to the waterfront. The atmosphere feels more Miami or Los Angeles than historic downtown Charleston, yet somehow perfectly positioned within one of the city's most prestigious and recognizable settings. The main level was built to entertain at scale. Expansive living and dining spaces flow effortlessly into a showpiece chef's kitchen featuring integrated top-tier appliances, dramatic stone surfaces, and a commanding waterfall-edge island that anchors the space with confidence and sophistication. One terrace pulls you toward the harbor. The other unfolds into a sleek elevated saltwater pool environment surrounded by lounge spaces, an outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and television, creating a private outdoor experience designed equally for quiet evenings or unforgettable entertaining. Natural light pours through walls of glass, illuminating wide-plank hardwood floors, custom stonework, and a striking steel-and-glass floating staircase that rises through all three levels like a sculptural centerpiece. Upstairs, the primary suite feels suspended over the waterfront. Wake to panoramic harbor views from a private terrace overlooking the Ashley River and Battery promenade. A fireplace softly connects the bedroom to a spa-inspired marble bath complete with a soaking tub positioned toward the water, oversized shower, custom walk-in closet, integrated coffee station, beverage refrigeration, and finishes that rival the world's finest hotels. Every secondary bedroom is en suite and executed with the same uncompromising level of design and detail. Then the home shifts fully into lifestyle mode. Private gym. Infrared sauna. Steam sauna. Massage room. Billiard lounge. Wine and wet bar. A cinematic theater with surround sound and terraced seating. Every space was designed with intention, creating an environment centered around wellness, entertainment, and experience. Overlooking the pool terrace, a completely separate guest residence delivers its own luxury living experience with private elevator access, full kitchen, living room, stacked laundry, bedroom, and full bath; ideal for guests, extended stays, or independent accommodations. The estate is fully gated and walled, offering a level of privacy and security rarely found on Charleston's waterfront, with parking for eight-plus vehicles, garage space, and dedicated golf cart storage. And then the final statement: a rooftop deck with commanding 360-degree views stretching across the harbor, river, church steeples, historic skyline, and open water beyond. Sunrise. Sunset. City lights. Harbor movement. Every angle feels cinematic. Contemporary homes of this caliber almost never become available in Charleston's historic district, especially on the waterfront in South of Broad. This is not simply a turnkey luxury home. It is a one-of-one trophy property that embodies modern resort-style living in the heart of historic Charleston. This is not just a home. It's a statement; modern, private, waterfront, and impossible to replicate in South of Broad.

On one of the most beautiful streets in historic downtown Charleston, behind garden walls and beneath the shade of live oaks, stands the Thomas Rose House, an extraordinary Georgian residence built in 1735 when Charles Town was still a young Colonial port. For nearly 300 years, this remarkable home has witnessed the evolution of the Holy City--surviving devastating fires, wars, earthquakes, and storms--while retaining its elegant architecture and inimitable craftsmanship. Today, following a meticulous restoration that seamlessly blends historic integrity with modern luxury, this South of Broad estate offers something almost impossible to replicate: a fully livable 18th-century masterpiece set within expansive gardens in the heart of America's most beautifully preserved historic city.The property occupies Lot 61 of the original Grand Modell of Charles Town, granted in 1680 to Elizabeth Willis. By 1701, it had passed to the wealthy Elliott family. Thomas Eliott bequeathed the property to his daughter Beuler, who married Thomas Rose in 1733. Shortly thereafter, Rose commissioned the distinguished residence that still bears his name. The elegant Georgian merchant house was intended to reflect the fashionable architecture of England's port cities. Constructed of brick and oyster-shell plaster, the two-and-a-half-story structure is 5 bays wide with a hipped roof punctuated by dormers and a spectacular full-width drawing room that survives today in all its original grandeur. Around 1790, the iconic double piazzas were added and the entrance moved from the center of Church Street to the south facade to conform to the Charleston single house style that was popular at the time. The piazza door is noteworthy for its columned surround topped by a fanlight and triangular pediment. Remarkably, the interior of the home retains many of its original 18th-century architectural features, preserved in museum-quality fashion. Visitors enter into a gracious reception room and adjoining office. Cypress paneled walls, fireplace surrounds, heart pine floors, high ceilings, deep shuttered windows, and architectural niches immediately showcase the home's extraordinary craftsmanship. A series of arched doors and transoms guide the flow of light throughout the house. Past the reception room, the dining room exhibits a similar level of formality. The stair hall is paneled in black walnut with a mahogany railing and finely detailed stair brackets that reflect the artistry of its builders. Upstairs, the grand drawing room spans the entire width of the building--believed to be the earliest surviving example of this layout in Charleston. Its delicate Adams-style mantel dates to the early 19th century. A jib door beneath the frontmost window allows access to the second-story piazza and Lowcountry breezes. Despite its 1735 origins, the house has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living. Discreet updates include an elevator, modern alarm system, and keyless entry integrated along antique brass hardware. A powder room off the stair hall and other carefully placed conveniences support everyday living without compromising the home's architectural authenticity. In 1942, owner and architect Henry P. Staats built the hyphen that connects the current kitchen and primary bath above to the previously detached kitchen and laundry outbuilding. The modern chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a La Cornue gas range (with 6 Delft tiles rescued from the drawing room fireplace restoration placed in the backsplash above), and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. A butler's pantry with bar, wine cooler, and Bosch integrated dishwasher supports effortless entertaining. Just beyond, a screened porch dining room allows meals to be enjoyed outside year-round. Adjacent to the kitchen, the original working kitchen has been transformed into a comfortable family room. The original kitchen hearth with beehive oven and herringbone brick floor serve as dramatic focal points. The mirror above the hearth cleverly conceals a television, blending the latest in modern tech seamlessly into its historic surroundings. The original laundry room continues to be used for that purpose. Its fireplace, then used to boil water for washing clothes and linens, is now joined by high-tech machines in another juxtaposition of technologies. The luxurious primary suite comprises the remainder of the second floor and can be separated from the entertaining areas of the house for privacy. A bedroom window opens to the piazza through a jib door, offering views of the formal parterre garden framed by an arcade of arches. The primary bath includes dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, a separate water closet with sink, and a massive marble shower room with multiple shower heads for a spa-like experience. The adjoining dressing room feels more like a private boutique than a traditional closet. Down the hall, a flexible room-sized closet could easily serve as a sitting room, nursery, dressing room, or private home office. Third floor adds 3 dormer bedrooms and a full bath. The bedrooms each have built-in closets and drawers. Two also feature built-in desks, ideal for school-aged children. Guest lodging is thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The original carriage house has been transformed into a suite with sitting, dining, and sleeping areas, along with a breakfast bar and a full bath. The carriage doors are preserved as large windows. Above is a studio apartment with its own exterior entrance and private walled courtyard. This residence includes a full kitchenette and stacked laundry, along with a bedroom and full bath. A balcony overlooking the gardens provides the perfect place for al fresco dining. The grounds of the Thomas Rose House are as significant as the residence itself. The formal gardens were designed by renowned landscape architect Loutrel Briggs in 1954. A series of outdoor rooms provide both beauty and privacy, enclosed by high stucco and brick walls and shaded by mature live oaks. The hardscape and plantings were updated in 2019-20 by Sheila Wertimer. Most recently, Glen Gardner reestablished the parterre garden surrounding an armillary sphere--a landscape element that predates the Briggs layout. Altogether, the gardens of 59 Church Street have been curated by a virtual "Who's Who" of Charleston landscape design. A heated and cooled swimming pool and spa, hidden terraced garden, and garden house (not included in the square footage) create multiple opportunities for entertaining and retreat. A large parking court behind an automatic mahogany gate offers abundant off-street parking. Steeped in history. Immersed in a sense of time and place. For the next owner, the Thomas Rose House offers something far more meaningful than a remarkable home: the opportunity to add your name to the story of one of Charleston's most important architectural treasures. Three centuries of history. One extraordinary opportunity. Your legacy awaits...
