About this property

True Southern Historic Charm by the Battery with Enchanting Charleston Gardens

Historic Downtown Charleston Single Home Steps Away From Rainbow Row

Constructed circa 1830, this authentic Charleston “single home” features four bedrooms and four bathrooms with three floors. Stepping inside, you are greeted by timeless elegance carefully decorated with period antiques, crystal chandeliers and rich mahogany. The main living space comes complete with rich upholstery and fine accents. The kitchen is bathed in natural light showcasing crisp marble countertops and new appliances. True to historic design, all the main floor rooms invite you onto the piazza for entertaining or catching the harbor breeze with a glass of wine in hand. Up the grand stairway, you will find two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a stunning four-poster mahogany king bed and en suite bathroom. The second bedroom features a queen bed with two day beds and a bathroom.
Up the stairs to the third floor are two large dormer bedrooms with extraordinary windows offering prime views of the historic Battery. The two bedrooms are joined by a bathroom.
This South Battery home is fully enclosed and terraced in bricks. The main gardens feature evergreens and flowers for guests to enjoy year round. At its center, the garden showcases a shallow reflecting pool with an Italian fountain.

About the host

Hosted by Jamie Molony

Host profile image
We are a retired couple who raised our 3 children in this house. In 2001 we sailed our boat to Europe. We now spend part of the year on our boat in Europe and other part of the year in Charleston. We have so much space in our home that we enjoy offering the self contained top three floors of this home for rent as a short term rental.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it was in walking distance of anything on the peninsula and is a lovely, historic, large, gracious home with a beautiful garden. It is an exciting and happy place to be. We own several other rentals in a popular area on St Philip St that we call Stphilipsquare and all are listed there.

What makes this property unique

Fabulous location, authentic Charleston 'single house', spacious and comfortable, lovely garden and piazzas.
Close to the battery, house museums, Spoleto Festival events, antique shops, fabulous restaurants. Beaches and water activities are nearby. Licensed Short Term Rental, permit number listed above
