172 Tradd St, Charleston, SC 29401

The Chisolm-Alston House. One of the most outstanding examples of Greek Revival architecture South of Broad. This grand mansion is attributed to Prussian trained architect Charles Reichardt, who designed the original Charleston Hotel and Milford Plantation. Through the grand portico, you will find stately rooms; double drawing rooms flank the dramatic "flying staircase". To the midsection is a separate dining room, library. The kitchen is spacious and comfortable, "gourmet" in style, overlooks a cozy "pool porch". The second level offers three guest bedrooms each with baths ensuite. The large Master Suite features a separate sitting area, spacious bath with separate shower and whirlpool tub. The Master closet/workout is part of the suite and could be a fifth bedroom. The walled grounds are beautifully landscaped and the faade views south for maximum light. The pool area is separate from the formal garden. The parking court is large enough for six or more cars. No conservation easements have been taken on the property. Roof and most systems have been recently replaced. Current as of 2012-06-13.
