Charleston, SC 29403

Completely reimagined through an extensive renovation by the owner, an interior decorator, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom pied-a-terre blends timeless Charleston character with the sophistication of a full-scale custom redesign. Every inch of this residence was intentionally crafted for elevated living--melding premium craftsmanship, designer finishes, and thoughtful spatial flow.At the heart of the home, a bespoke kitchen by 1951 Cabinetry features handcrafted custom cabinets extending to the ceiling, quartzite countertops, and a $25,000 suite of GE Café appliances, including gas range, bar refrigerator, and built-in microwave. Glass-front uppers, under-cabinet lighting, and a dedicated bar and coffee station add both warmth and functionality. The split-bedroom layout ensures privacy, with each suite offering an en suite bath finished in floor-to-ceiling Italian marble, frameless glass showers, and Delta Champagne Bronze fixtures. The primary suite is elevated by a custom walk-in closet system with frosted glass doors and built-in cabinetry, offering a seamless, tailored aesthetic. Throughout the home, refinished hardwood floors (including new living room floors to match the original), Ralph Lauren lighting (over $25,000 in fixtures), and a George Nelson/Herman Miller pendant in the den create an atmosphere of understated luxury. Every switch is fitted with a dimmer, and barn doors in the primary suite maximize space efficiency without sacrificing design. A custom built bar was added into the living room for entertaining guests. Behind the walls, the renovation was comprehensive, new plumbing, upgraded electrical, insulation, and wiring, executed to the highest standard. A key code entry system, new ceiling fans inside and out, and smart efficiency upgrades ensure modern comfort and ease. Outdoor living is equally refined. The private 7.5' wide by 32' level piazza features gas-like lanterns, lower Garapa hardwood sundeck (an $8,000 install) featuring step lighting, and a newly landscaped turf patio with drainage system. A widened gate and new concrete golf cart pad with charging outlet bring rare convenience to downtown living.
