$1,850,000 Some homes announce themselves. Others remain quietly hidden, waiting to be discovered. Tucked behind the storied Category I James Jervey House, down one of Ansonborough's most peaceful, tree-lined streets, sits a residence few ever have the opportunity to experience. Shielded by private gardens and tucked away from the rhythm of downtown Charleston, this exceptional brick carriage house offers a rare kind of privacy in one of the city's most historic and sought-after neighborhoods. From the moment you step through the gate, the pace changes. The noise of the city fades, replaced by a sense of calm that feels increasingly rare in downtown Charleston.It is a home that feels intimate, timeless, and deeply connected to the city's architectural heritage while embracing the comforts of modern living. Natural light pours through the home, highlighting original architectural details and warm, inviting living spaces. The living room overlooks the gardens, creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday life, while a graceful archway leads to the formal dining room, where evenings naturally linger over dinner with family and friends. The beautifully updated kitchen is as functional as it is refined, anchored by a new Wolf gas range and designed to make everyday living feel effortless. Each floor unfolds with its own sense of purpose. The second level offers a spacious primary suite alongside a comfortable den that easily serves as a third bedroom or private office. Above, the third floor feels almost like a hidden retreat, where exposed beams, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create a space limited only by your imagination, guest quarters, an artist's studio, a library, or a quiet escape from the world below. While the character of the home speaks to Charleston's past, its conveniences are unmistakably modern. Private gated off-street parking behind an electronic gate, one of downtown's rarest luxuries, and an elevation well above the flood zone provide a level of practicality that is increasingly difficult to find within the Historic District. Ansonborough has long been one of Charleston's most cherished neighborhoods, where historic homes, quiet streets, and walkable access to the city's finest restaurants, galleries, parks, and waterfront create a lifestyle unlike anywhere else. Opportunities to own an authentic carriage house in this setting are exceptionally limited. This is more than a home. It is a quiet retreat hidden within the heart of historic Charleston, a place where history, architecture, and everyday living come together in a way that simply cannot be replicated. 3 Beds ⋅ 1.5 Baths ⋅ 26020507 MLS ⋅ Ansonborough SubDv. ⋅ Active Status Some homes announce themselves.

$14,000,000 21 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to steward one of Charleston's most historically significant residences. Known as the Edmondston-Alston House, this extraordinary South of Broad property has stood overlooking Charleston Harbor for two centuries. It embodies the architectural beauty, resilience, and layered history that define the Charleston peninsula.Constructed in 1825 for Scottish shipping merchant Charles Edmondston, the residence was among the first substantial houses built along the city's seawall and what is now Charleston's iconic High Battery. A decade later, the property was acquired by Charles Alston, a member of a well-established Lowcountry rice planting family, who refined the house in the Greek Revival style. Alston added architectural elements including the signature three tiered piazzas supported by Corinthian columns and a distinctive parapet bearing the Alston family crest. From its earliest years, the house has been closely tied to Charleston's network of prominent families. In 1849, the marriage of Williams Middleton to Susan Pringle Smith united the Edmondston-Alston House with Middleton Place under one extended family lineage. Susan Pringle Smith's ancestry traces to Bishop Robert Smith, who arrived in Charleston in 1757, and served as the first American Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina. Bishop Smith also played a foundational role in the creation of the College of Charleston, helping to finance and establish the institution. Through generations of intermarriage among the Smith, Middleton, and Alston families, ownership and stewardship of both Middleton Place and the Edmondston-Alston House became intertwined, reinforcing a legacy deeply rooted in land and heritage. The house has witnessed defining moments in American history. From the third floor piazza overlooking the harbor, Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard observed the first shots of the Civil War in 1861. Later that year, General Robert E. Lee sought refuge here during the Great Fire of Charleston. For generations, the Edmondston-Alston House functioned not only as a residence but as part of a broader narrative connecting Charleston to Middleton Place. The Edmondston-Alston House served as a seasonal house, with family members residing during the summer months while maintaining their deep ties to the Middleton Place property. The grounds of the Edmondston-Alston House, surrounded by large oak trees, provided shade during the summer months. Within the house, the interiors were filled with historical artifacts and heirlooms, including Middleton Place silver. Over time, as family needs evolved, portions of the house were preserved while others remained actively lived in, reflecting the natural progression of a house continuously shaped by its stewards. In 1969, a generational transition took place when ownership of the Edmondston-Alston House formally passed to Charles Halliwell Pringle Duell, a twelfth generation Middleton descendant. The estate was thoughtfully divided, with Charles receiving the physical properties, including the Edmondston-Alston House and Middleton Place. The property features three distinct structures, creating a private enclave rarely found within Charleston's historic district. The main residence welcomes guests through a foyer that immediately establishes the scale of the house. Twelve foot ceilings, original moldings, and period craftsmanship reflect the artistry of early nineteenth century construction. Architectural detailing evolves from floor to floor, with subtle variations in trim work that speak to the layered history of the house. On the main level, two formal parlors extend from the central foyer, with original pocket doors allowing the spaces to flow together for entertaining or remain intimate for quieter gatherings. A staircase rises to the second floor, where two additional parlors continue the tradition of formal entertaining. These grand rooms, with their twelve foot ceilings, fireplaces, and intricate millwork, once served as important social spaces within the household. One parlor was historically reserved for ladies' gatherings, offering a glimpse into the customs of the period, while a library, traditionally used as a gentlemen's withdrawing room, adds further character to this level. The third floor serves today as the primary living quarters, where natural light and harbor views reflect the house's original design and orientation toward Charleston Harbor. This level includes two bedrooms, along with a spacious dining room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom. Directly behind the main residence, The Quarters, historically the kitchen building and living quarters for the enslaved, have been preserved and now serve as a private two story retreat with a living area, kitchenette, and gas burning fireplace on the main level. Upstairs, two well proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms make for inviting accommodations. Adjacent to the Quarters is the historic Carriage House, originally used as stables for horses and carriages as well as quarters for groomsmen, now configured as a bed and breakfast. The interiors retain original beamed ceilings and heart pine floors, preserving the authenticity of the structure. A sitting room occupies the main level, while two generously sized rooms are located upstairs. Together, the main residence, The Quarters, and The Carriage House form an exceptional historic estate along Charleston's High Battery. With harbor views, architectural pedigree, and centuries of documented history shaped by generations of stewardship, 21 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to own and preserve a remarkable piece of Charleston's past. 7 Beds ⋅ 9.5 Baths ⋅ 26012755 MLS ⋅ South Of Broad SubDv. ⋅ Active Status 21 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to steward one of Charleston's most historically significant residences.

$10,800,000 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... 6 Beds ⋅ 6.5 Baths ⋅ 26010900 MLS ⋅ South Of Broad SubDv. ⋅ Active Status 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.

$8,995,000 Set on a rare double lot with historic ties to the original Roper Hospital, this exceptional Charleston single residence seamlessly blends architectural pedigree with inspired modern design. Originally constructed in 1995 by an architect for his own family, and honored with a 1996 Preservation Society of Charleston Carolopolis Award, this distinguished home has been completely reimagined through a meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation in 2023 and 2024 addition, including a thoughtfully designed pool house and stunning new primary suite by architect Sebastian von Marschall. Beyond its classic stucco facade, the interiors are both sophisticated and expressive, artfully layering antique furnishings with bold contemporary elements--statement lighting, abstract art, richly saturated paintand striking wallpapers throughout. The reconfigured floor plan enhances flow and livability, with the kitchen and dining spaces repositioned to create a more intuitive connection for everyday living and entertaining. A gracious foyer sets the tone, flanked by elegant formal living and dining rooms. The dining room is a true showpiece, featuring panoramic Paul Montgomery mural wallpaper, a Regina Andrews chandelier, and an antiqued mirrored inset ceiling, with French doors opening to a charming brick terrace. The designer kitchen, centered around a marble island, flows seamlessly into a warm and inviting den, while a fully appointed butler's pantry - custom designed for china, glassware, and entertaining - adds both beauty and function. A wet bar with beverage refrigeration and soda fountain, a powder room, and a private office complete the main level. Upstairs, guest accommodations are equally curated, highlighted by richly layered color palettes and designer finishes, including Thibaut "Yukio" wallpaper paired with Farrow & Ball hues. The third floor offers a whimsical bedroom retreat with dormered ceilings, window seats, and a distinctive full bath centered around a glass-enclosed shower. Privately situated above the addition and connected by a hyphen, the primary suite is a serene sanctuary overlooking the gardens and pool. The suite features an extraordinary, boutique-style dressing room and closet with illuminated cabinetry, marble-topped island, and custom display storage. The primary bath is equally dramatic, anchored by a striking black-tiled shower and dual vanities. Designed as a seamless extension of indoor living, the pool house serves as both a stylish lounge and the heart of entertaining. Inspired by Dorothy Draper, the space features Brunschwig & Fils "Les Touches" wallpaper, marble checkerboard flooring, and vibrant textiles, creating a playful yet refined atmosphere. With a wet bar, dishwasher, and dual powder bathrooms, the pool house plays double duty for powerful party hosting. At the center of the property, the landscaped gardens are the true showpiece--anchoring the main house and addition with a resort-like setting that includes a pool, brick hardscaping, lush plantings, and curated outdoor living spaces. Entry is through iron gates framed by brick columns and gas lanterns, leading to a circular brick drive, fountain, and koi pond--an arrival experience that is both grand and unmistakably Charleston. This is a rare opportunity to own a deeply considered, design-forward residence where historic inspiration and modern luxury converge in one of Charleston's most distinctive settings. This spectacular property was recently featured in both television and print. Watch Season 3 Episode 6 of "Where We Call Home" on HBO Max and Apple TV. It was also featured in the April 2024 issue of Charleston Magazine, as well as the December 2025 holiday issue of Charleston Magazine, showcasing this very special home. Three private, deeded off-street parking spaces behind the property provide coveted downtown parking and security.

$5,450,000 A renewed opportunity to pursue one of Harleston Village's rare historic compounds. The prior buyer elected not to proceed at no fault of the seller. Tucked within the heart of Harleston Village, 49 Smith Street presents an extraordinarily rare opportunity to own one of downtown Charleston's most distinctive historic compounds. Originally anchored by a circa 1860 main residence (5000sf) and complemented by a separate circa 1880 carriage house (2500sf), this landmark European villa-style estate blends architectural pedigree, private compound living, and exceptional long-term potential across approximately 7,525 square feet.Behind its striking two-tone English Flemish brick façade, the property unfolds as a true multi-structure estate--an offering seldom found in one of Charleston's most sought-after neighborhoods. The sprawling three-story main residence encompasses over 5,000 square feet. It is currently configured as seven independent residences, many of which feature original fireplaces, stately wood interiors, hand-poured glass windows, and an abundance of natural light that pours through the historic façade. Complementing the main house is a fully private two-story carriage house exceeding 2,500 square feet, accessed through its own gated entry and complete with a garage, expansive porch, and elevated rooftop terrace. This secluded secondary residence offers an extraordinary living experience--ideal as a luxurious guest residence, private office, studio, or boutique retreat. What sets 49 Smith apart is the extraordinary balance of immediate utility and future vision. The opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine the main residence into one of Harleston Village's most compelling private homes has already been carefully explored, with preliminary architectural and construction guidance reinforcing the extraordinary potential of the estate. For the right buyer, this presents a rare chance to create a grand three-story historic residence while preserving the carriage house as a private, design-forward complement--an offering that would be exceptionally rare within the downtown Charleston market. Equally compelling is the lifestyle this property affords today. Morning light filters through the hand-poured glass windows, illuminating preserved historic interiors and rich architectural details. Evenings unfold across the veranda patios and rooftop terrace, creating a layered indoor-outdoor living experience that feels both private and deeply connected to the rhythm of downtown Charleston. Just moments from Colonial Lake, King Street, Broad Street, and the iconic Wentworth Mansion, the location offers a walkable lifestyle surrounded by Charleston's most celebrated architecture, dining, shopping, and cultural landmarks. Whether envisioned as a legacy private residence, a multi-generational compound, or an income-producing hold with exceptional upside, 49 Smith Street offers a level of scale, flexibility, and architectural significance that is rarely available. This is more than a property--it is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to steward one of Harleston Village's most remarkable estates into its next chapter. 10 Beds ⋅ 10.5 Baths ⋅ 26009115 MLS ⋅ Harleston Village SubDv. ⋅ Active Status A renewed opportunity to pursue one of Harleston Village's rare historic compounds.
