Set on a rare double lot with historic ties to the original Roper Hospital, this exceptional Charleston single residence seamlessly blends architectural pedigree with inspired modern design. Originally constructed in 1995 by an architect for his own family, and honored with a 1996 Preservation Society of Charleston Carolopolis Award, this distinguished home has been completely reimagined through a meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation in 2023 and 2024 addition, including a thoughtfully designed pool house and stunning new primary suite by architect Sebastian von Marschall. Beyond its classic stucco facade, the interiors are both sophisticated and expressive, artfully layering antique furnishings with bold contemporary elements--statement lighting, abstract art, richly saturated paintand striking wallpapers throughout. The reconfigured floor plan enhances flow and livability, with the kitchen and dining spaces repositioned to create a more intuitive connection for everyday living and entertaining. A gracious foyer sets the tone, flanked by elegant formal living and dining rooms. The dining room is a true showpiece, featuring panoramic Paul Montgomery mural wallpaper, a Regina Andrews chandelier, and an antiqued mirrored inset ceiling, with French doors opening to a charming brick terrace. The designer kitchen, centered around a marble island, flows seamlessly into a warm and inviting den, while a fully appointed butler's pantry - custom designed for china, glassware, and entertaining - adds both beauty and function. A wet bar with beverage refrigeration and soda fountain, a powder room, and a private office complete the main level. Upstairs, guest accommodations are equally curated, highlighted by richly layered color palettes and designer finishes, including Thibaut "Yukio" wallpaper paired with Farrow & Ball hues. The third floor offers a whimsical bedroom retreat with dormered ceilings, window seats, and a distinctive full bath centered around a glass-enclosed shower. Privately situated above the addition and connected by a hyphen, the primary suite is a serene sanctuary overlooking the gardens and pool. The suite features an extraordinary, boutique-style dressing room and closet with illuminated cabinetry, marble-topped island, and custom display storage. The primary bath is equally dramatic, anchored by a striking black-tiled shower and dual vanities. Designed as a seamless extension of indoor living, the pool house serves as both a stylish lounge and the heart of entertaining. Inspired by Dorothy Draper, the space features Brunschwig & Fils "Les Touches" wallpaper, marble checkerboard flooring, and vibrant textiles, creating a playful yet refined atmosphere. With a wet bar, dishwasher, and dual powder bathrooms, the pool house plays double duty for powerful party hosting. At the center of the property, the landscaped gardens are the true showpiece--anchoring the main house and addition with a resort-like setting that includes a pool, brick hardscaping, lush plantings, and curated outdoor living spaces. Entry is through iron gates framed by brick columns and gas lanterns, leading to a circular brick drive, fountain, and koi pond--an arrival experience that is both grand and unmistakably Charleston. This is a rare opportunity to own a deeply considered, design-forward residence where historic inspiration and modern luxury converge in one of Charleston's most distinctive settings. This spectacular property was recently featured in both television and print. Watch Season 3 Episode 6 of "Where We Call Home" on HBO Max and Apple TV. It was also featured in the April 2024 issue of Charleston Magazine, as well as the December 2025 holiday issue of Charleston Magazine, showcasing this very special home. Three private, deeded off-street parking spaces behind the property provide coveted downtown parking and security. Please see list of upgrades and design details.
