About this property
Casa Zoë | Historic Garden Carriage House CHS
Summary:
A hidden gem in the heart of Charleston, Gibbon House is a beautifully restored brick carriage house with a story to tell. Once the office space for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, it now offers elegant, design-forward hospitality just steps from King Street. Featured in Condé Nast Traveler, Gibbon House combines history, charm, and comfort with Casa Zoë’s signature warmth and character.
The Space:
At Casa Zoë, our mantra is a Vita, Amicus, Amor - Life, Friendship, Love.
We believe in the beauty of intentional spaces, soulful design, and warm hospitality.
Gibbon House is not just a place to stay - it’s a place to slow down, connect, and feel inspired.
What We Love:
• Historic brick carriage house behind an 1800's mansion
• Founding home of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra
• Private English-style parterre garden, designed by a renowned Charleston landscape architect
• 2 king-size beds with garden views and premium linens
• 1.5 Bathrooms | Full bath upstairs
• Chic powder room downstairs
• Fully-Stocked Kitchen
• Gas range, dishwasher, filtered water, Le Creuset cookware, and your coffee essentials
• Comfortable sofa, velvet chairs, curated art, smart TV
•Dining nook for four overlooking the garden
• Desk & designated work space
“Felt like living in a storybook — we didn’t want to leave.” – Jasmine, TX
