Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This historic home has been beautifully brought to life by its Charleston-native hosts. Immediately you’re welcomed by the traditional panelled exterior, the polished beams and hardwood floors that run throughout. Then, you’re wowed by the luxurious stylish design details. There’s lots of space to spread out, with two cosy living and dining areas, both with their own kitchens. The master bedroom opens onto a first-floor porch, perfect for a quiet nightcap. And we love the vast, leafy courtyard garden, with plenty of seating and space to enjoy good weather. After you’ve made yourself at home, walk just one block to the eclectic Upper King street. Soak up its colourful, characterful buildings and discover some of Charleston’s best bars and restaurants.

Local guide
About The Boroughs
Made of up five different 'boroughs', this neighbourhood north of Downtown is a little calmer and collected than the buzzing heart of Charleston. Predominantly residential, that doesn’t mean it lacks charm, by any means. The streets of The Boroughs are still picture-perfect as the day they were built in the 18th century. Wide boulevards are home to antebellum houses where you’ll still see rocking chairs on porches and hear cicadas...
