Designer 2BR Historic Condo Near Hampton Park • Private Balconies

Charleston has been my heart home for nearly two decades. I first moved here after graduating college in 2005 and instantly fell in love with the city — the warmth of the people, the vibrant food scene, the ocean nearby, and the strong sense of community that makes Charleston feel so special.

This home was my very first home purchase, and it still holds a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve spent a lot of time thoughtfully caring for and updating the space so it feels welcoming, comfortable, and full of light. I love the historic details like the original refurbished windows, the beautiful natural light that fills the rooms, and the way the second-story porches let you enjoy the life of the neighborhood while still feeling peaceful and private.

Unlike many properties managed by large rental companies, this home is personally hosted by me. I’ve tried to create a space that feels warm and thoughtfully designed — not a generic rental, but also not overly personal — a place where guests can truly relax and feel at home while experiencing Charleston like a local.

It always brings me joy to return here, and I hope it brings the same feeling to everyone who stays.

This neighborhood is one of my favorite parts of downtown Charleston because it offers the perfect balance of local charm and walkable city living. Hampton Park, one of Charleston’s most beautiful green spaces and my favorite places, is just a short stroll away and is wonderful for morning walks, picnics, or simply relaxing under the oak trees.

Upper King Street is also nearby, offering some of Charleston’s best restaurants, cafés, and boutiques. The area feels local and relaxed while still being close to everything that makes Charleston special.

The home sits on the second floor of a classic Charleston house and features two private porches that create a wonderful sense of space and privacy. From the porch you can enjoy the rhythm of the neighborhood while still feeling tucked away above the street.

Natural light fills the home throughout the day thanks to the historic windows, giving the space a bright and relaxed Charleston feel.

The furnishings, artwork, and colors have been thoughtfully chosen over the years to create a space that feels warm and comfortable. It is designed to feel welcoming and lived in without feeling like a generic rental or someone else’s personal home.
