55 E Bay St, Charleston, SC 29401

The best of Historic Charleston: handsome waterfront estate within the original walled grand model of Charles Towne. The property was purchased from the Pinckney family and a "most up to date house" was built by British merchant Jonathon Simpson. Today the house contains much of its original historic details enhanced by modern amenities for today's lifestyle. The staircase in the back hall ascends to the second floor drawing room embellished with Adamesque details. Most windows have interior shutters. The main 1785 structure has large, airy rooms, approximately 5600 sqft including cypress trimmed library, eat-in kitchen, 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. The brick kitchen house is approximately 1500 sqft, 2 or 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. Heirloom camellias enhance the deep walled garden.
