Welcome to 63 Rutledge Avenue, Apartment 27, an elegant residence within Berkeley Court, one of Charleston's enduring architectural landmarks overlooking picturesque Colonial Lake.This beautifully proportioned one-bedroom residence captures the romance and sophistication of the Roaring Twenties while offering an exceptionally livable floor plan. An inviting eat-in kitchen, gracious living room, and light-filled sunroom create a wonderful progression of spaces, each with its own character. As a coveted end unit, the residence is surrounded by an extraordinary array of 17 tall windows and soaring ceilings, filling the interiors with natural light throughout the day.The sunroom is particularly captivating, offering a front-row view across the graceful landscape and shimmering waters of Colonial Lake. By day, sunlight dances across the water; in the evening, the setting becomes even more enchanting as moonlight and the reflections of surrounding homes illuminate the lake. It is a view--and an atmosphere--rarely found in downtown Charleston. Art Deco-inspired details and the timeless elegance of the 1920s lend the residence a distinctive sense of place. Yet perhaps its greatest luxury is the lifestyle just beyond the front door.

Commanding a prominent corner at Rutledge Avenue and Beaufain Street, Berkeley Court has been woven into the architectural fabric of Charleston for more than a century. Completed in 1922, the landmark building was designed by noted Atlanta architect G. Lloyd Preacher and developed by Edward J. Murphy, the visionary behind the celebrated Fort Sumter Hotel on The Battery. Berkeley Court was also notable as one of South Carolina's earliest fireproof apartment buildings, an innovative achievement for its time. This coveted corner unit position offers abundant natural light, remarkable lake views, historic elegance, and exceptional walkability to shops and restaurants; Apartment 27 offers a rare opportunity to experience Charleston from a residence that feels inseparable from the history and beauty of the city itself.
