The George S. Cook house, circa 1860, is a magnificent Italianate home with Gothic Revival influences. It was built by noted Civil War photographer George S. Cook and later owned by Andrew Murray for whom Murray Boulevard was named. Overlooking White Point Garden and Charleston Harbor, this home offers fantastic views. It has been totally restored with exquisite original details throughout. The second floor drawing room and library/music room have stunning ceiling murals and French doors opening onto the second floor piazza that catch morning sunrises and summer breezes. The master suite is spacious and features an additional sitting room with private bath.The ground floor study showcases built-in bookshelves that lead to a spacious butler's pantry and gourmet kitchen with exposed brick and top pf the line appliances. There is a charming family room with a cozy fireplace tucked off the kitchen. 28 South Battery has a convenient elevator that goes to the third floor. Leading landscape architect, Bill Maneri, has created a rendering for this double length lot including a private garden and pool which still features multiple off-street parking. This historic home is a must see for the discriminating Buyer who wants to enjoy ownership without the headaches of restoration!
