Natural light is abundant thanks to a rooftop skylight, large windows, and several early fanlights. Maintaining the garden and landscaping is a breeze with the drip system irrigation. This property also offers rental income possibilities with the accompanying carriage house. The carriage house overlooks the spacious brick-walled garden and features 2 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. It's just a quick stroll to the Charleston Battery and White Point Garden from this property with easy access to great shopping and culinary establishments around South of Broad. -The carriage house as being built in 1690 and has one of only 3 remaining high arched bricked cook fireplaces with a bricked bread oven in the city. -The historic period wall work and specialized wall art and painting was done by the renowned restorationist / artist Robert Shelton . -This home has also another Juliet Balcony as well as a piazza both off the master bedroom as well as he and she separate bathroom areas ( two remote controlled auto Toto toilets and bidets), an upgraded antique claw foot tub and a granite double headed walk in shower with a free floating glass door . -The tunnel for the horse passageway was fully restored as a gaslit lane separate entrance to the carriage house . -The atrium was fully restored for four stories with upgraded iron balcony railings created by Philip Simmons trained craftsmen. At the bottom of the Atrium light pours onto an original large wall shell and a built in water feature. -All the incredible chandeliers were created in Europe except for one original chandelier in the staircase which reflects its light off an 18th century 12 foot high mirror . -Two sets of Duet Whirlpool washers and dryers are on the third floor for easy convenient access for the bedrooms. -All the bathrooms were fully updated and restored with granite and high end fixtures and sinks/cabinets. -The roofs on both the main house and the carriage house have both been totally recoated as well as the brick repointed. -The air conditioning units and handlers are always upgraded and maintained regularly by the same long time charleston company. -The two drip systems were newly installed this year to over 300 new plants , bushes , and trees in the breezeway and the large very private "secret" historically walled garden . -The basement area off of the tunnel was fully redone with slate flooring and a special rapid drainage system to a very large and deep reservoir that drains to the Charleston Bay during low tide . The lowest point of the land at the base of the tunnel is 13 feet above sea level which further quickly aides in drainage from heavy storms if for some reason water reaches this area which is rare.
