Passing through the beautiful wrought iron gates hand crafted by the famous blacksmith Philip Simmons, you are greeted by soaring columns and an expansive piazza that welcome you to this private and spacious double lot in the midst of historic Charleston. Located in the South of Broad neighborhood, historic Charleston's most desirable and premier neighborhood, the house underwent a complete top-to-bottom renovation in 2014 by revered architect EE Fava and premier contractors. The to-the-studs renovation updated all mechanical systems with new electrical and plumbing, added living space at the rear of the house to the first and second levels, replaced the old Carriage House with a new dependency, new hardscaping and landscaping, new baths and high-end gourmet kitchen.The end result is a turn-key gem overflowing with natural light and fully updated modern living spaces and modern conveniences. With a total of 4280 SF, the main house features 3740 SF with 4 bedrooms, each with ensuite bath, and the 540 SF carriage house offers excellent versatility for guests' accommodations or home office removed from the main living space. Enter the home from the front or side porch into the well proportioned front parlor room. The middle area of the main level is a spacious open concept between the chef's kitchen with 6 burner Wolf range, large island, butler area and wet bar, and quartzite counters. The space seamlessly flows through another living area at the rear of the home and out to a courtyard perfect for al fresco dining. Finally, a spacious bonus room suitable for home office or library completes the downstairs. Upstairs are the 4 bedroom suites. The owner's suite features two light filled walls of windows overlooking the piazza and lawn, walk-in closet, built-in closets, and spacious bath. The other 3 bedrooms upstairs each feature their own private bathrooms. The 1/4 acre lot consists of 2.5 lots combined over time and offers lawn and garden in the front, courtyard with outdoor dining area for fabulous entertaining options, and ample room at the rear to add a pool if so desired. Two separate driveways are a unique bonus and provide the ease and convenience of plenty of off-street parking to accommodate parking for 4-5 cars. Notable details include the original Philip Simmons wrought iron gates, dental moldings, high ceilings, gorgeous oak wood floors, mosquito misting system, Sonos speakers inside and outside, and security cameras.
