About this Property

  • Apartment
A luxury stay in a piece of history, Cookhouse Charm is a charming and chic option located in Charleston’s Garden District near Wragg Mall and its live oaks and fountain, the Charleston Museum, the Visitors’ Center, Marion Square, two historic mansions open to the public (the Aiken-Rhett and Joseph Manigault Houses), and the nationally-recognized cuisine/entertainment district on Upper King. Within walking distance are the King Street shopping area and antiques district, and the City Market.

The cavernous professionally-decorated second-floor 1br/1ba Cookhouse Charm unit accommodates two and is available for stays of 30+ days. The unit has a queen reproduction historic rice bed, two enormous non-working fireplaces (the original kitchen and laundry rooms to the main home), accent antiques, a roomy bathroom with granite-tiled shower, and a entirely-equipped kitchen/sitting room with eating area and full-sized couch bed. The Cookhouse features a professionally-designed patio and garden and has off-street parking for 1-2 cars.

Charleston is full of history, appeal and incredible hospitality. The Cookhouse accepts you painless access to beaches (15 mins.), historic river plantations (20 mins.), the South Carolina Aquarium, superb, diverse cuisine, and accepts you to just relax, read, nibble, and imbibe your favorite beverages in the shared garden.

Illustrated in Bernard Herman’s Townhouse: Architecture and Material Life in the Early American City 1780-1830 circa 2005, the Cookhouse was newly charmingly restored following the award-winning restoration of the main John Robinson House, a historically significant Federal double home (1814) constructed by the wealthy merchant who later constructed the adjacent urban plantation now known as the Aiken-Rhett House. There is an interesting article with numerous photos on the Cookhouse restoration in Period Homes magazine (Vol. 14, No. 6, Nov. 2013), a copy of which is available in the Cookhouse.

Please note that The Cookhouse is a duplex structure located behind the main home. This listing is for the second-floor 1br/1ba unit and there is also a ground-floor 1br/1ba unit below. The units are completely separate with their own private entrances and share no interior spaces. Guests will need to be able to comfortably climb one set of stairs to access this unit.

Guests have access to the entire second floor 1br/1ba unit, the shared backyard/patio, and the shared parking area in the rear of the home.

Please note that the laundry area is in the basement of the main home and guests only have scheduled access to it two days a week.

The home is managed locally by Southern Charmed Hospitality Group so someone is always available if any issues or concerns arise.

Please always reach out through the app first for any questions unless in case of dire emergency.

Known as the “Garden District”, the beauty of this downtown Charleston neighborhood is brought to life by community gardens, manicured landscaping, neighborhood parks, and an abundance of open green space.

Packed with amenities and populated with luxury Charleston residential homes, Wraggborough is also located close to Upper King Street, where residents and visitors can appreciate access to some of Charleston’s best modren eateries and trendy bars.

Wraggborough is also within walking distance of Marion Square, which features a Charleston market known to be one of the best farmer’s markets in the area for local produce, modern art, and handcrafted goods and home products.

And with modern attractions such as the Charleston Museum, the Charleston Kids’s Museum of the Lowcountry, the Charleston Public Library, and Charleston Music Hall, Wraggborough is the ideal downtown Charleston neighborhood!

There are also local trolleys that run downtown or bicycle units close by if you prefer to discover a little further.

If exploring outside of Downtown Charleston, a car or taxi will be needed. Uber/Lyft operate throughout the Charleston area.
