Location: Charleston, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA (Charleston SC, Downtown, South of Broad, Near the Battery)
Accommodations: Cottage, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5 Baths (Sleeps 4)
Designed as a Gite', a French Country holiday cottage, this short term executive vacation home has just been renovated with all the comforts of home and all the charm of both France and Charleston. It is located South of Broad, a block from The Battery. Secluded in a lush garden, behind your own security gate, this two bedroom cottage offers quiet and seclusion while close to all the city has to offer.
Enter the home through an iron gate onto a porch overlooking a garden complete with seating, fountain, and a garden view with a stucco wall. The foyer has a soaring 20' ceiling with an iron chandelier and French iron staircase which overlooks the dining room. The dining room has a French fireplace and brick floors. 15' ceiling shows off the exposed beams. A wine cage stores your wine for the vacation.
Just off the dining room, behind leaded pane doors is a kitchen with gourmet appliances. Thermador, Fisher & Paykel, and Sub Zero are the stainless appliances. Counters are honed marble and the eating bar is Indiana Limestone. A library provides a wet bar and books and music for your relaxing evening.
The very large living room has French doors overlooking the gardens, old heart pine floors, and French Boiserie paneling. Upstairs is a sitting room, two bedrooms and two baths. The master bedroom has French doors overlooking the garden. The master bath is a "his and her" with an oversized shower, European tub, and two vanities and commodes.
The shower and vanities are marble. The other bedroom and sitting room are part of the original turn of the century cottage and have all the charm and much of the woodwork from that era.
