C. Birlant & Co., Purveyors of Fine Antiques in downtown Charleston. The residence offers a blend of formal and intimate living spaces, a chef’s kitchen, a downstairs bedroom with ensuite, a convenient half bath, four upstairs bedrooms and two additional full baths, along with a central sitting room, media room, and office—everything you need to delight in the home's historic character while living a modern lifestyle.The estate’s grounds are equally captivating, featuring a greenhouse constructed from antique windows, a welcoming gazebo, and lush plantings carefully curated by avid gardeners. A detached garage with an upstairs arts and crafts studio adds a quiet space for creativity. Across the street, the family’s former gardens were donated to the town, forming a public park with a fountain and historic railroad play station that becomes an extension of the spaces you may enjoy. This property truly combines old world elegance, history, and Southern charm. Disclaimer: CMLS has not reviewed and, therefore, does not endorse vendors who may appear in listings.
