This privately-owned luxury accommodation is nestled within the urban compound of Charleston’s historic 1825 Edmondston-Alston House, one of the first dwellings constructed along the High Battery facing Charleston Harbor. 21 East Battery was built in 1825 during the tenure of the property's first owner, Charles Edmondston. Later, in 1838 second-owner Charles Alston extensively remodeled the house adding significant Greek Revival details. The rear dependency originally served as a stable and livery for the wealthy rice planter's fine horses and handsome town carriages. The quarters once housed the servants who helped make 21 East Battery one of the city's showplaces of style and gracious entertaining. Today, the property once again welcomes visitors to the city where hospitality has always been an art.
Guests at 21 East enjoy off-street parking and a personal welcome from the knowledgeable resident manager eager to make their stay a delight. The roomy interiors of the carriage house have original beamed ceilings, heart-pine floors and a second-floor balcony with a view of the Charleston Harbor. Furnishings include attractive antiques as well as comfortable couches and luxury bedding for a restful Charleston stay. It is an ideal accommodation for couples celebrating a special occasion or for traveling families.
The city's legendary waterfront promenade, known by Charlestonians as "High Battery" is only a few steps away. A stroll along the seawall to beautiful White Point Gardens offers dramatic views of Ft. Sumter and the glistening waters of historic Charleston Harbor. Within easy walking distance are award-winning restaurants, fascinating and important places of interest and the breathtaking church steeples that add to the Holy City's ambiance.
