Description
This one of a kind historic (c. 1781) cotton warehouse has been reimagined into a stunning residence overlooking Charleston Harbor by a renowned interior designer and homeowner, and local preservation architect, Glenn Keyes. You will not find a home this unique anywhere in Charleston! The building has become a comfortable, livable, and detailed custom showpiece for living and entertaining, indoors and out. The perfect place for intimate, casual gatherings or grand entertaining. The home was converted to a residence/ office in the early 1950's. The current owners began the massive renovation in 2014. They removed walls and small windows to open up the spaces so the structure now has a sense of its past. They were awarded the prestigious Carolopolis Award in 2015.The spacious foyer is flanked by a formal dining room and a large living room with exposed beams that frame the river views through original openings with new custom industrial windows. The kitchen and sitting area runs the entire length of the back of the home overlooking the historic courtyard and more water views. This area blends seamlessly into the historic structure and is a true cook's kitchen complete with a large wine room. The large private courtyard is enclosed by original brick walls with historic patina and creeping fig. Oversize archways create the spacious dining and seating areas complete with a water feature, all designed with Glenn Gardner Landscaping. There is plenty of room for a plunge pool. The second floor offers a spacious primary suite with beautiful water views as well as a large bathroom and separate dressing room which opens out to a balcony filled with planted flowers. There are (2) additional spacious bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, The "River Guest" room with views of the Cooper River, and the "Garden Guest" which overlooks the lush courtyard and fountain. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study/office and has a lovely cobblestone street view. The location is quiet, but so convenient for walking, shopping, dining or visiting the countless galleries and museums of Charleston. This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and live in an incredibly unique piece of Charleston's rich history.
