Property Description
A unicorn in the heart of Charleston, this exquisite Harleston Village residence sits just steps from Cannon Park and Colonial Lake. Nestled at the front of nearly a quarter-acre private garden, the property unveils a resort-style sanctuary complete with a full-sized in-ground diamond-polished Hydrazzo pool. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate evenings, the grounds showcase multiple outdoor living spaces: a dining pavilion, fireside lounge with built-in gravel fire pit, and a charming auxiliary pool house for guests.The main residence has been thoughtfully renovated, blending the elegance of historic Charleston with sophisticated modern luxury.Enter through the sun-lit foyer, where a striking gold-leaf sculpture adorns the banister post, setting the tone for the artistry within. The color-saturated living room captivates with its dramatic gas fireplace, crowned by a bespoke grasscloth ceiling. Nearby, a custom-built bar invites cocktail hour, while the gourmet kitchen dazzles with gleaming quartz countertops and premier chef-grade appliances.
An expansive formal dining room offers the perfect backdrop for lavish dinner parties, and a romantic screened porch, bathed in flickering gaslight and draped in fragrant wisteria, provides an enchanting spot to enjoy an aperitif. Even the jewel-box powder room is a work of art, featuring iconic Scalamandré wallpaper and a custom-designed sink.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of refinement with hand-crafted wallpaper, tailored window treatments, and a retractable projection system. Hidden stairs ascend to a private dressing lounge and oversized custom closet, creating the ultimate preparation space for an evening on the town. Two additional guest rooms, each adorned with designer finishes, share a stylish dual-entry bath.
The gardens beyond are a lush, tropical paradise. Banana trees, azaleas, camellias, and manicured hedges frame the heated pool, enhanced by a fountain whose gentle cascade masks the hum of the city. With a state-of-the-art mosquito misting system and app-controlled features, this outdoor haven is a year-round delight. The pool house Shed offers endless possibilitieswhether hosting overnight guests, creating a private exercise studio, or working remotely with serene garden views.
Every detail of this property exudes Charleston charm, from the glow of its gas lanterns to its rare blend of privacy and proximity.
