About this property

Timeless Renovated in Downtown Charleston

I am a Charlestonian native that wants to share Charleston's way of life with you!

I just finished working on the house for 5 years using every reclaimed piece of heart pine, tin, and old slate that I could re-use or find. It is very impressive to see. I think you will enjoy.

Here you can live by relaxing both indoors and outdoors.

Indoor -
Summons the expression of truly refined Ante-Bellum experience with all modern amenities. In the kitchen enjoy the timeless La CornueFe gas oven and cooktop range from Saint-Ouen l'Aumone, France served by a whisper quiet, made in the USA Vent-a-hood.

Here you can celebrate the glorious culinary traditions of the Old World using only top-of-the-line All-Clad cookware and utensils. Stemless red and white wine glasses were not overlooked. All coffee mugs, and glasses are made of clear insulated glass along with the serving plates, salad plates and bowls so rest assured every item is sparkling.

Tidy up after a meal using the stainless bridge faucet in the farmhouse porcelain sink. All items are stored using efficient Rev-a-shelf hardware to house the spices, cutlery, flatware and accessories. Of course, the cabinetry ,kitchen island and 8 foot tall barn doors are hand made on-site using only heart pine sourced during the renovation of the house, from the house.

Crystal-clear Samsung high-definition 4k smart television with Xfinity cable. Netflix, Amazon video, and Hulu are intuitively available at the touch of the remote and are complimentary.

The bathroom is tiled using the original re-purposed slate from Vermont dating back to when the house was built by shipwrights in 1851. The original standing-seam tin front porch roofing was salvaged and is applied to the wall as the backsplash to the hand-made heart pine vanity with hand-hammered nickel-plated vessel sink. The bathroom features a slate-tiled walk-in shower with Kohler rain-head showers. The water closets were sourced from Kent, England to provide a period feel from the Old-World.

In every bedroom , I provide you with a sound machine as well as smart-charging stations for your electronic devices. Enjoy the combination of cypress ship-lap wood walls and heart pine throughout. Most, if not all, heart pine material used dates back to approximately the year 1600.

Outdoor-
Remember that before the advent of air conditioning, Charlestonians tended to congregate on their porches to socialize and spend time to enjoy a cool sea breeze. There are rocking chairs on the porch making it a great place to relax with a book while watching the happenings on Cannon Street. But you do not have to settle for just one porch.. you have a rear porch and patio to enjoy as well. The patio has a lounge chair sofa with an Big Green Egg barbecue grill, all utensils and charcoal provided.

I am three blocks from King Street. Cannon Street dead ends into King where you would be right in the middle of all the activity - many nice restaurants such as The Darling, the Grocery, Ordinary and Indaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Dispensary and Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street. Pick the experience - fine dining to relaxed outdoor dining, it is here. You could look up Chez Nous, Chubby Fish and Fuel.

I am available for questions as needed. Glad to assist in any way I can.

If you want the full Charleston experience you need to sign up for a walking tour or carriage tour, a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter several times daily so that you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.

Location, Location, Location!
This was the absolute perfect location for all the culinary delights of Charleston. George met us and walked us through the property--which is gorgeous! We were excited to be just steps from Sugar, Holey City Bagel, and Baba- all perfect for breakfast and sweets. We were a short walk from our dinner favorites--Fuel Cantina, Chez Nous, and Prohibition and a fabulous spot if you are coming back for a mid-afternoon porch relaxing lunch is right on site--Ladles. Overall a great stay to help our friend surprise his wife for her birthday.

Excellent Property and Location
Me, my wife, and infant son stayed at this amazing rental for a weekend stay. It was the perfect location to walk around, shop, and eat. The check in process was seamless and the property was exactly as described. Having a parking spot made getting around the city and barrier islands very easy. 10/10 would recommend staying here during your time in Charleston.

Why they chose this property

Built in the 1850s, this grand mansion recently underwent a painstaking renovation, resulting in a luxurious mix of historic material, modern convenience and style. This property is located in the heart of downtown in a vibrant neighborhood near Charleston's best restaurants and shopping. A fully stocked kitchen provides you options and won't leave you fretting the basics like for olive oil. Spread out onto the lovely piazza, soak in the sea breeze and consider the tales and lore this incredible city has seen in the last 300 years.
