Circa 1823, a rare historic compound tucked along Warren Street featuring three structures, including two residences with a total of five bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Originally developed in the 1820s as part of the estate of Benjamin Faneuil Dunkin, Chancellor of South Carolina, 87 1/2 & 1/4 Warren Street once served as the kitchen house and carriage and stable outbuildings for the neighboring main residence now known as the 'Ashley Hall Warren Street House'. The property has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its early Charleston character and is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places. The main residence offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, blending preserved early 19th-century architectural elements with refined updates for contemporaryliving. On the first floor, the living room, dining room, sunroom, and kitchen are framed by original exposed brick walls and natural light creating warmth and architectural depth throughout the living spaces. The eat-in kitchen features custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and glass doors that open to the patio and expansive yard, offering an effortless connection to outdoor living and entertaining. Upstairs, heart pine floors and soaring ceilings define the second level, which opens onto a spacious rear porch overlooking the enclosed grounds. The generous lot offers ample space for a future pool, presenting an opportunity to create a truly exceptional outdoor retreat. Privately situated at the rear of the property, the separate two-bedroom guest house provides flexibility for guests, extended family, pool house, home office, or rental income. Recent improvements include a new slate roof on the main residence (2024), a new roof on the guest house (2026), and a comprehensive renovation completed between 2017 and 2018. Additional features include a gated driveway with ample off-street parking, renovated upper porch, a private courtyard-style yard, and a detached shed - rare amenities in historic downtown Charleston. Steeped in Charleston history and located within one of the city's most treasured historic corridors, 87 1/2 & 1/4 Warren Street presents a rare opportunity to own a distinctive and enduring piece of the city's architectural legacy.
