About this property
Historic District Retreat | Parking + Courtyard
Set in Charleston’s Historic District near lower King Street, the French Quarter, Colonial Lake, and The Battery, this private residence gives you the best of both worlds: walkable access to Charleston’s restaurants, galleries, shops, historic tours, and waterfront sights — with a peaceful residential setting to return to at night.
Rather than staying in a busy hotel corridor or dense visitor zone, you’ll be tucked inside one of Charleston’s classic historic neighborhoods, surrounded by leafy streets, beautiful architecture, and long-time residential character.
Inside, your private 1,000 sq. ft. residence feels like a boutique hotel suite within an 1850s Charleston home. Original 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, tall sash windows, natural light, and historic details create a refined, quietly luxurious retreat, while thoughtful modern comforts make the stay easy.
**Sleep**
* Serene king bedroom with luxe linens, historic details, and a comfortable bed * Curtained sunroom with a second king bed for flexible sleeping arrangements * Ideal for couples, two friends, a small family, or guests who prefer extra sleeping space * Quiet setting for rest, despite being close to so much of downtown Charleston
**Live**
* Comfortable living room with large flatscreen TV * Strong Wi-Fi and comfortable places to work remotely * Premium washer and dryer for longer stays or lighter packing * Thoughtful extras including charging cords, umbrellas, local guides, and small details to make the stay easier
**Cook**
The kitchen is unusually well stocked for a downtown Charleston stay and works well for coffee, breakfast, snacks, or full meals.
Includes:
* Bosch gas stove and oven * Bosch dishwasher * Full-size refrigerator with filtered water and ice * Instant boiling water dispenser * Keurig and drip coffee maker * Microwave and blender * Cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware
**Refresh**
* Modern spa-style bathroom with sleek rain shower * Strong hot water, quality towels, toiletries, and thoughtful little details
**Outdoor Space**
Enjoy your private courtyard with historic Charleston battery benches, a fountain, and greenery.
It is a guest favorite for morning coffee, afternoon wine, or a quiet reset between walks around the city.
**Parking**
Dedicated private off-street parking is included right by the entrance — a major convenience in downtown Charleston.
Many guests park once and explore the city on foot.
An on-site EV charger is also available if needed.
**Who This Home Is For**
This home is ideal for guests who want Charleston’s architecture, dining, galleries, historic streets, and waterfront within walking distance — then want to return to a calm, private retreat instead of a late-night party scene.
If your ideal Charleston stay is a great dinner on lower King, an easy walk home, and a quiet glass of wine in a hidden courtyard, you’ll feel right at home.
