  • Approximately 1000 square feet
Feel timeless Charleston elegance in this private historic residence tucked into one of downtown’s most charming neighborhoods. Set on a esteemed Broad Street block in Charleston’s Historic District, this is the kind of stay guests hope to find but rarely do—walkable to everything, calming at nighttime, and filled with the appeal and scale that make Charleston special.

Step outside and you’re moments from lower King Street, the French Quarter, Colonial Lake, and The Battery. Yet unlike many downtown stays, this home sits in a true historic residential neighborhood—not in one of the denser short-term rental corridors where whole blocks can feel more like hotel districts. Here, you’ll return each evening to leafy streets, classic Charleston homes, and a calm residential setting.

Inside, your private 1,000 sq. ft. residence feels like a boutique hotel suite tucked inside an 1850s home. Original 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, tall sash windows, and heritage details create a refined, quietly extravagant backdrop, while thoughtful modern updates make everything feel effortless. Guests often tell us the home feels much bigger than expected—something that’s increasingly rare in Charleston’s historic district.

One feature guests consistently tell us they adore: the parking. Few Airbnbs in downtown Charleston offer complimentary, private off-street parking directly at the home. Not a garage numerous blocks away. Not a parking permit. Not a shared lot. Your own dedicated private parking space connected directly to the property—an increasingly rare luxury in this part of the city. If you’ve visited Charleston before, you already know what a difference that can make.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE

Private 1,000 sq. ft. residence
A cavernous footprint by historic downtown Charleston standards, with room to really relax—not just sleep.

Historic charm with modern comfort
12-ft ceilings, original architectural details, upsized sash windows, heritage colors, and thoughtful updates throughout.

A rare downtown parking advantage
Free, dedicated private off-street parking directly at the home—a standout feature that very few downtown Charleston Airbnbs can offer.

Walkable historic location
Moments from Charleston’s best eateries, galleries, shopping, waterfront walks, Colonial Lake, The Battery, and lower King.

Quiet residential setting
Savor Charleston’s energy during the day, then return to a calm residential block at nighttime.

WHO THIS HOME IS FOR

This home is ideal for guests who want the best of Charleston—architecture, food, shopping, galleries, and waterfront walks—while returning to a peaceful residential street away from the late-nighttime event scene.

If your ideal Charleston stay includes a memorable dinner on lower King, a peaceful walk home beneath the gas lanterns, and a glass of wine in a hidden courtyard, you’ll feel right at home here.
