Description and History :
174 A Saint Philip Street, Unit 4 - The John Bulow House
The land (lot 33) on which this remarkable building was constructed was acquired by John Jochim Bulow in 1834 from the Rowland Rugely estate. Bulow, a prosperous merchant and planter, owned extensive real estate holdings on the peninsula as well as in the upstate and in Mississippi.
Constructed in 1922, this Victorian building, identified as 174 A showcases elegant ornate trim,
expansive porches, bay windows, and a vibrant exterior
color. The high ceilings and sizable windows allow ample
natural light to flood the spacious interiors.
This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. As an integral part of Saint Philip Square, this award-winning historic building has been meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston.

winning collection of historic buildings meticulously curated to enhance your stay in Charleston. This property is

for a morning cup of coffee or a restful break
between city adventures.

Tips and Tricks to get the perfect Charleston rental home experience:
Getting the best value:
- In the Charleston area area, The earlier your group can book a vacation home, the better your selection will be. The best rental homes are booked early. Booking your rental property 6-12 months before your vacation is recommended. Holiday gatherings are excellent times to search for and book your rental.
- Summer months are the most expensive season in Charleston. To get the best vacation home for your budget, we strongly suggest reserving in the Fall or Spring. You'll enjoy lower rental rates, greater selection, gorgeous weather and the absence of large crowds at restaurants, beaches, and activities.
- Veterans and Active Duty Military members may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective property manager whether your vacationing group qualifies for a discount.
- Property management companies often offer their guests an option to buy trip insurance protection. Trip insurance, which costs 1% - 5% of the reservation price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for missed days as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unexpected hotel or extra gas expenses. Trip insurance can be a a life-saver if the unforeseen occurs. Ask your host for additional information.
- Many rental management companies supply Charleston area area visitor guide magazines which often include money-saving offers, either offered directly by local companies, or through a relationship with the rental management company and the business itself. You can also find visitors guide and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

- Did you have a excellent stay? Many vacation rental websites make it easy for vacationers to provide comments. If your rental property and/or property management company was great, they would love to hear it.
