This magnificent historic home was built in 1800 by then Governor and Colonel Vanderhorst. The property has been completely and recently renovated, with a focus on maintaining the original historic details, while adding all of the comfort of modern day conveniences. Complete with all new plumbing, electrical systems, heating and air, elevator and state-of-the-art media, this home is truly one of a kind. Spectacular views of Charleston Harbor and ""Rainbow Row"" are granted from many rooms in the house. Just some of the wonderful features include a custom designed kitchen with stainless steel, granite, Wolf and Sub Zero appliances; dual Master Baths; original fireplaces and heart pine flooring; Walker Zanger tile and designer specified lighting fixtures. With a one-car, detached garage and convenient additional parking just out the door. This home is located within easy walking distance from everything you need, and yet still in the most exclusive part of downtown Charleston. An elevator will take you to every floor in the house, including a spacious, heated and cooled basement, adding approximately 1100 sq.ft, which could be used for wine cellar, laundry, utility and/or workshop functions. Renovations were designed by Dufford-Young Architects and construction was completed by Harper James Finucan Contractors, all with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. Shelia Wertimer designed the rear garden and water feature.
