The Joseph Bennett House, built circa 1814, and located in Harleston Village, is one of Charleston's finest examples of a Charleston Double House. Built on a high masonry foundation, the exterior of the home is notable for its Adamesque style architecture including the frieze of swags below the cornice and an entrance portico with fluted Doric columns. The home is currently divided into two condominiums (with unit A 128 1/2 Bull St. listed separately). The extraordinary historic details continue on the interiors.As you enter 128 Bull Unit B, you will find a superior central hall flanked on either side by the elegant grand-scaled living room and dining room.Note the intricate moldings throughout, soaring ceilings, fireplaces with beautiful mantles, and original heart pine floors. In the rear of the home, you will find a modern eat-in kitchen with top of the line stainless appliances and a cozy den, as well as two screened porches overlooking the rear fenced in lawn and gardens. Up the winding staircase in the central hall, you will pass a sunny roof terrace on your way to two spacious bedrooms, both with ensuite baths and fireplaces, and both accessed via a generous sitting area at the top of the stairs. On the third floor, yet another full bath and two bedrooms are found with rooftop views of historic Charleston. Please note there are approximately $75,000 in repairs to be done to the condo, sold in 'as-is' condition. Current insurance is approximately $15,000 annually.
