About this Property

• Sleeps 6
• 3 Bedrooms
• 2 Bathrooms
• Private vacation home
• Approximately 2600 square feet

We have lovingly restored our handsome 1870 Victorian home located in Charleston's coveted Historic Downtown and freshly added a brand new gourmet kitchen. We have a downstairs parlor and an upstairs living area as is customary in the south. Upstairs features three bedrooms and there are two full bathrooms in the home. There are four fireplaces in the home, tennis courts just down the street and a playground around the corner. We look out over a park and are two blocks from the harbor. Sip some tea on either the front porch or have lunch on the back porch looking out over the enormous backyard gardens with a grassy area and a splendid Italian pergola covered in wisteria, roses and gardenias. We are an allergy-complimentary home and have no family pets or smoking here.

We are in the ideal location to walk (or bicycle) to all the historic landmarks downtown - famed Rainbow Row, sizable antebellum homes of the Battery, the Old Exchange, Pineapple Fountain, museums, harbor, market, etc. We are also walkable to the shopping and the many great eateries that Charleston is known for. Or perhaps you feel like grilling on either the gas or Weber charcoal grilles on the back porch while calming and appreciating the gorgeous garden while the kiddos play in the grassy yard. The home is just a short drive to the alluring beaches and plantations. Travel +Leisure has named Charleston the #1 City in the United States and the #2 City in the World five years in a row and when you arrive - you'll see why. Charleston has it all - beautiful white sand beaches, striking plantation homes with ancient oaks lining the drive, cobblestone streets and more. Time moves differently here and we welcome you to sit back and savor our southern hospitality! Please note - this home is available for monthly units only.
