Charm, sophistication, and a coveted location define this beautifully updated historic residence, ideally positioned just moments from King Street's renowned shopping and dining, Marion Square, and all the best of Downtown Charleston. Behind a classic white picket fence, a lush and thoughtfully landscaped courtyard welcomes you with a herringbone brick patio--an inviting setting for dining al fresco and effortless outdoor entertaining. A gracious front porch opens to a traditional floor plan rich with preserved architectural details and elevated modern updates. Soaring ceilings, hardwood floors, original fireplaces, and intricate crown molding are complemented by designer paint selections and high-end lighting throughout, creating a layered and sophisticated interior. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, offering elegant entertaining spaces, while the updated kitchen anchors the home with a large center island, granite countertops, stainless appliances, built-in desk, and a sunlit sitting room for relaxed daily living.
Upstairs, three well-appointed bedrooms include a spacious primary suite featuring a fireplace, generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully finished en suite bath with stone countertops and a large shower. A lovely front bedroom (currently used as a library) complements a covered porch overlooks the courtyard below. The guest suite in the rear of the home is at once private and integrated into the flow of the home, with its own back staircase for easy access to the kitchen and den. A powder room and large storage spaces also complete the back area of the home offering ease and functionality.
Originally built in 1890 and known as the Sophia Wilson House, this residence seamlessly blends historic character with meaningful upgrades, including a newer HVAC system, new sewer line to the street, and enhanced landscape lighting. This home earned a coveted Carolopolis award for exceptional renovation. A rare opportunity to own a turnkey piece of Charleston history in an exceptional downtown location.
