Tucked behind a private gate in historic Wraggborough, the Thomas Ryan House is a beautifully restored 1830s Charleston residence set on an exceptionally large downtown lot.Over nearly two centuries, the home has had many lives. Its current owners have thoughtfully restored it to a single family residence, preserving its historic integrity while creating a home that feels both gracious and livable. Heart pine floors, substantial moldings, ceiling medallions, multiple fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms speak to the craftsmanship and character of its past.The approximately 52 by 175 foot lot is every bit as remarkable as the house itself, offering a sense of privacy and space rarely found on the peninsula.The expansive grounds provide room to envision gardens and a pool, with the potential to explore additional structures. Historic Sanborn maps show two structures once located on the property, offering an intriguing historical precedent for what a future owner might consider, subject to applicable approvals. Just blocks from King Street, Marion Square, dining and shopping, 36 Mary Street offers a rare combination of historic architecture, significant land, privacy and possibility in the heart of downtown Charleston.

Built circa 1817-1820 by John Robinson, builder of the nearby Aiken-Rhett House, 8 Judith Street is a Neoclassical Charleston single on a raised brick basement in Mazyck-Wraggborough. The house retains paired east chimneys, heart pine floors, a mahogany staircase, cypress paneling, and gougework mantels beneath 10- to 11-foot ceilings. Later work added an updated kitchen with wet bar, a primary suite with marble bath and in-suite laundry, a ground-level apartment, wine cellar, hyphen to an elevated screened porch with fireplace, and a pool. A ribbon brick and cobblestone drive leads through planted gardens with landscape lighting.This house and the one beside it were built as weatherboarded singles. Jonathan H. Poston noted the pilasters and molded frames on the piazza screens. The piazza was never stacked, it remains a single story. Rooms run in file along the piazza. Crown moldings and medallions identify the main spaces. The sitting room and dining room on the first floor both have fireplaces. A half bath sits concealed in the kitchen with the wet bar. The marble bath has a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower. More bedrooms and a full bath are on the third floor. The storage space beneath the house is substantial. Later work was done with Beau Clowney and Level Building Projects and left the historic fabric in place. Interiors were done by Margaret Bosbyshell of Atlanta. The gardens were designed by Sheila Wertimer. Planting includes creeping fig, loquat, cypress, hydrangea, podocarpus, and mature camellias, with outdoor audio and and automated iron gates set in brick piers off the cobblestone drive.
