In the heart of Charleston's historic South of Broad district, the handsome 3 1/2 story brick Thomas Legare House, circa 1753, is documented in the book 'The Buildings of Charleston.' The Adam style piazza was added in the 1800s and Greek Revival details added in 1840. The Charleston single house retains much of its important early woodwork including museum quality original mantels, moldings, paneling, doors, flooring and staircase. The gated driveway leads to an unusually large walled garden with a free-standing one-story structure. Ample room for in-ground pool. The separate storage building could be a pool house and changing room. 1st floor includes a formal living room, dining room, powder room, combined kitchen and breakfast room. 2nd floor: paneled study and master suite opening to 2nd floor piazza. 3rd floor: 2 full size bedrooms with en-suite full baths. 4th floor: converted servants quarters with bedroom and sitting room. Kitchen house has been incorporated in the main house with fabulous eat-in kitchen with original cooking fireplace. Guest suite with separate entrance over kitchen house has living/dining room, bedroom, kitchen and bath. Stunning views of city rooftops. This is truly a remarkable house offering the best of a fine home in Charleston with the conveniences for contemporary living. Possible small guest house or garage with city approval and renovation. Historic Charleston Foundation holds interior and exterior easements on the property.
