Split floor plans this complete are hard to find: primary suite on the main level, two bedrooms and a full bath on the opposite side, and a whole upstairs -- oversized fourth bedroom, flexible loft, full bath, two huge walk-in closets -- that lives like a private apartment. One family has owned this home since it was built in 2003, and they've kept ahead of everything that matters: new roof in 2023, new HVAC around the same time, fresh exterior paint in 2024, nearly every kitchen appliance replaced in 2024-25, and brand-new hardwood laminate floors installed throughout the entire first level in 2026.Step through the front door and those new floors carry you from the open entry hall through the whole main level, beneath smooth 9'+ ceilings. The eat-in kitchen gives you an island, a fullpantry, and room for the morning rush, while the separate dining room waits on the holidays. The great room and its gas-log fireplace anchor the main level, and the primary suite -- garden tub, separate shower, walk-in closets -- means you never have to climb stairs unless you want to. Outside, the full front porch faces one of the quietest cul-de-sacs in Schieveling Plantation, and the rear deck overlooks a fenced backyard shaded by mature trees. You'll enter the neighborhood beneath a canopy of grand live oaks lined with azaleas, with the pool and clubhouse an easy walk from your door. Drayton Hall and the Ashley River gardens are minutes away; downtown Charleston, the airport, and the beaches are all an easy drive. Out here, evenings end on the front porch -- and the neighbors are the kind you hope for.

$13,900,000

A rare convergence of unparalleled design, coveted location, and effortless luxury. From the moment of arrival, the architecture and design almost seem to announce itself. Inspired by earthy hues, dramatic contrast, and timeless warmth, this home is equal parts showstopper and sanctuary.As you arrive, a stunning grand oak canopies the floating walkway and staircase that lead to a dramatic herringbone tile landing, and soaring panels of steel and glass with a ten-foot pivot door. Step inside to a continuation of the dramatic entry where the axial sightline carries the eye straight through the home to the shimmering waters of Ralston Creek, a breathtaking first impression, entirely by design.Wide-plank white oak hardwood floors anchor the principal living spaces, giving way to the dramatic and expansive great room and dining room space. The expansive wall of sliding glass truly blurs the boundary between interior and exterior. No detail was left to chance and no surface went unconsidered. This space features a custom mitered marble entry, custom lighting fixtures, arched detail doors, a statement stone fireplace, and custom shelving with backlit niches. The kitchen is a true architectural centerpiece. Its entry is defined by a bespoke steel and glass partition. Dramatic stone is used both on the island and the statement range hood. The meticulous custom cabinetry, brick focal wall, professional grade appliances and the endless detail accents, are orchestrated with seamless intention.

The Owner's private primary wing is accessed through a dramatic corridor. Trim artisans painstakingly hand created this custom fluted wood entry that is highlighted by a tiled barrel ceiling and marble pendant lights; it's an architectural moment unto itself. The bedroom's warmth, striking ceiling, and private water view deck, make this sanctuary truly sublime. The Owner's bath is a work of art that is defined by its travertine and marble floor and its floor-to-ceiling tile walls with dual arched shower entry that features an exquisite private water view.

The staircase features open white oak treads cantilevered from a black steel spine and glass panel railings -- all rising through a soaring tower of floor-to-ceiling windows framed by wood and steel that floods the space with natural light. The sun-drenched hallway illuminates an artisanal wall-covering that adds a stunning tactile depth. It leads to the expansive and vaulted media room complete with custom designed sleeping loft space, private nooks, and fabulous spaces to unwind. Upstairs, a reading nook and 4 additional bedrooms and 3 baths are all designed to have their own unique style. Outside, the home delivers a resort-caliber experience at every elevation.

The screened porch enjoys all-year opportunity with built-in infrared heaters, ceiling fans, dramatic fireplace, and built-in grill station. A folding pass-through window from kitchen erases the barrier between the kitchen and the screened porch. Separately, a retractable screen also opens to the pool and additional high-top seating. A custom sunken fire lounge is perfectly integrated and invites you to linger long after the sun goes down. A few steps down, arrive at your private deep-water dock on Ralston Creek. The expansive waterfront setup features a covered creekside gazebo, dual drive-on personal watercraft launch ramps, and a state-of-the-art floating dry dock system designed to meticulously preserve your yacht's hull while keeping pristine, panoramic water views unobstructed. An adjacent outdoor shower, putting green, and seating area open into a finished lower-level space with bath. This bonus living space serves as a full-scale entertainment and recreation suite. This raised elevation garage is vast and has 4 dedicated oversized custom bays for luxury automobiles. This three-year labor of artistry and pure intention stands as the pinnacle of livable luxury.

24 King Street, Charleston

$9,900,000

On one of the most beautiful streets in historic downtown Charleston, behind garden walls and beneath the shade of live oaks, stands the Thomas Rose House, an extraordinary Georgian residence built in 1735 when Charles Town was still a young Colonial port. For nearly 300 years, this remarkable home has witnessed the evolution of the Holy City--surviving devastating fires, wars, earthquakes, and storms--while retaining its elegant architecture and inimitable craftsmanship. Today, following a meticulous restoration that seamlessly blends historic integrity with modern luxury, this South of Broad estate offers something almost impossible to replicate: a fully livable 18th-century masterpiece set within expansive gardens in the heart of America's most beautifully preserved historic city.The property occupies Lot 61 of the original Grand Modell of Charles Town, granted in 1680 to Elizabeth Willis. By 1701, it had passed to the wealthy Elliott family. Thomas Eliott bequeathed the property to his daughter Beuler, who married Thomas Rose in 1733. Shortly thereafter, Rose commissioned the distinguished residence that still bears his name. The elegant Georgian merchant house was intended to reflect the fashionable architecture of England's port cities. Constructed of brick and oyster-shell plaster, the two-and-a-half-story structure is 5 bays wide with a hipped roof punctuated by dormers and a spectacular full-width drawing room that survives today in all its original grandeur. Around 1790, the iconic double piazzas were added and the entrance moved from the center of Church Street to the south facade to conform to the Charleston single house style that was popular at the time. The piazza door is noteworthy for its columned surround topped by a fanlight and triangular pediment. Remarkably, the interior of the home retains many of its original 18th-century architectural features, preserved in museum-quality fashion. Visitors enter into a gracious reception room and adjoining office. Cypress paneled walls, fireplace surrounds, heart pine floors, high ceilings, deep shuttered windows, and architectural niches immediately showcase the home's extraordinary craftsmanship. A series of arched doors and transoms guide the flow of light throughout the house. Past the reception room, the dining room exhibits a similar level of formality. The stair hall is paneled in black walnut with a mahogany railing and finely detailed stair brackets that reflect the artistry of its builders. Upstairs, the grand drawing room spans the entire width of the building--believed to be the earliest surviving example of this layout in Charleston. Its delicate Adams-style mantel dates to the early 19th century. A jib door beneath the frontmost window allows access to the second-story piazza and Lowcountry breezes. Despite its 1735 origins, the house has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living. Discreet updates include an elevator, modern alarm system, and keyless entry integrated along antique brass hardware. A powder room off the stair hall and other carefully placed conveniences support everyday living without compromising the home's architectural authenticity. In 1942, owner and architect Henry P. Staats built the hyphen that connects the current kitchen and primary bath above to the previously detached kitchen and laundry outbuilding. The modern chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a La Cornue gas range (with 6 Delft tiles rescued from the drawing room fireplace restoration placed in the backsplash above), and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. A butler's pantry with bar, wine cooler, and Bosch integrated dishwasher supports effortless entertaining. Just beyond, a screened porch dining room allows meals to be enjoyed outside year-round. Adjacent to the kitchen, the original working kitchen has been transformed into a comfortable family room. The original kitchen hearth with beehive oven and herringbone brick floor serve as dramatic focal points. The mirror above the hearth cleverly conceals a television, blending the latest in modern tech seamlessly into its historic surroundings. The original laundry room continues to be used for that purpose. Its fireplace, then used to boil water for washing clothes and linens, is now joined by high-tech machines in another juxtaposition of technologies. The luxurious primary suite comprises the remainder of the second floor and can be separated from the entertaining areas of the house for privacy. A bedroom window opens to the piazza through a jib door, offering views of the formal parterre garden framed by an arcade of arches. The primary bath includes dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, a separate water closet with sink, and a massive marble shower room with multiple shower heads for a spa-like experience. The adjoining dressing room feels more like a private boutique than a traditional closet. Down the hall, a flexible room-sized closet could easily serve as a sitting room, nursery, dressing room, or private home office. Third floor adds 3 dormer bedrooms and a full bath. The bedrooms each have built-in closets and drawers. Two also feature built-in desks, ideal for school-aged children. Guest lodging is thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The original carriage house has been transformed into a suite with sitting, dining, and sleeping areas, along with a breakfast bar and a full bath. The carriage doors are preserved as large windows. Above is a studio apartment with its own exterior entrance and private walled courtyard. This residence includes a full kitchenette and stacked laundry, along with a bedroom and full bath. A balcony overlooking the gardens provides the perfect place for al fresco dining. The grounds of the Thomas Rose House are as significant as the residence itself. The formal gardens were designed by renowned landscape architect Loutrel Briggs in 1954. A series of outdoor rooms provide both beauty and privacy, enclosed by high stucco and brick walls and shaded by mature live oaks. The hardscape and plantings were updated in 2019-20 by Sheila Wertimer. Most recently, Glen Gardner reestablished the parterre garden surrounding an armillary sphere--a landscape element that predates the Briggs layout. Altogether, the gardens of 59 Church Street have been curated by a virtual "Who's Who" of Charleston landscape design. A heated and cooled swimming pool and spa, hidden terraced garden, and garden house (not included in the square footage) create multiple opportunities for entertaining and retreat. A large parking court behind an automatic mahogany gate offers abundant off-street parking. Steeped in history. Immersed in a sense of time and place. For the next owner, the Thomas Rose House offers something far more meaningful than a remarkable home: the opportunity to add your name to the story of one of Charleston's most important architectural treasures. Three centuries of history. One extraordinary opportunity. Your legacy awaits...

Looking for a home where neighbors are friends? Then 357 Blowing Fresh in Wando Village is the place for you! Situated at the confluence of Highway 41 and Clements Ferry Road, Wando Village has formed a community that includes book clubs, bunco, Mahjong, and other friendly gatherings. Situated on the bluffs of the Wando River, the neighborhood has a private, community dock where you can fish, crab, or just relax and enjoy the view. A short walk from the dock is 357 Blowing Fresh, a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with over 3,000 square feet. The elevated foundation allows you to park cars underneath, and you can access the home's interior via elevator or stairs.When you walk up the front steps, you'll notice the attention to detail, including gas lanterns, a wood door with a four-panel glass window, cement board siding, and modern, horizontal wood railings. Step inside the front door, and you'll notice the hardwood floors and updated light fixture. To the right is the home office, featuring wainscoting, built-in shelving, and a door that can be closed for Zoom calls. Down the hall are the powder room, the laundry room, and the pantry, which leads to the kitchen and living space. The kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a gas cooktop. Contrasting white and wood cabinets give the eat-in-kitchen dimension and character, as do the stainless-steel hood vent, pendant lighting, and white subway tile backsplash. The bright, open-concept space is perfect for hosting, as the kitchen opens to the living and dining areas. A shiplap-clad gas fireplace centers the living space, flanked by built-in bookcases and shelving. Plantation shutters, an updated light fixture, and wainscoting complete the dining room. A wide screened-in porch off the back creates additional living space, connecting you to nature via French doors. Off the main hallway, the primary suite has tray ceilings with exposed, wooden beams. A luxury, ensuite bathroom includes a tile shower, a free-standing tub, and double vanities. The primary closet has built-in, upgraded shelving with plenty of storage space. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and an open loft space. Currently, the loft is set up as a small pub, but it could easily be converted into a playroom or additional office space as needed. Back outside, the backyard has been upgraded with a tile patio and a gas fire pit. The neighborhood also includes a playground and walking trails.
