27 Elliott is a rare opportunity to acquire a spectacular, historic, detached residence lovingly redesigned by one of Charleston's well known architects as his personal home. Situated within the borders of the old walled city, this smart, functional, home offers amazing livability, beautiful outdoor space, off street parking and a detached garden building that would make a spectacular guest house. Renovated to it's core and expanded in 1999, the bright, open design of this house employs fine materials. The verdant, walled garden with brick terrace and fountain provides glorious and private outdoor seating space and can be enjoyed from the paneled study on the main floor as well as the balcony off the master suite. The owner expertly designed the home to have a very bright and open feelwith over twenty-five widows. The site was originally occupied in the 18th century by a three story brick rice warehouse and the structure that exists today was built as The Charleston Day School in 1939 for the lower school students. The house flows beautifully for everyday living as well as entertaining. The efficient galley kitchen is accessed from the foyer and opens to the dining room with pocket doors on each end to isolate the space if desired. The living room with gas fireplace is flanked by banks of windows on both exterior walls. Off the living room is the garden room, richly paneled in beadboard and overlooking the garden. One of the most outstanding features of the home is the wine cellar accessed by hidden stairs beneath the study. The cellar can hold 800 bottles and is outfitted with a tasting table designed by the owner and crafted from the same beams used for the renovation. The second floor has two private bedroom suites each with closets and modern, well appointed private baths. The sunroom/studio, located off the master suite is currently utilized as the owner's studio with a balcony that overlooks the garden. With minor alterations, this space could function beautifully as a spacious third bedroom. The house is steps from the finest Historic District galleries, restaurants, shops, Waterfront Park, White Point Gardens, the Footlight and Dock Street Theaters as well as the city's most venerable churches.
