Description
Tucked within the storied Harleston Village neighborhood, this elegant condominium resides in the historic Cooper-O'Connor House, a distinguished three-story Greek Revival residence dating to circa 1855. Rich in architectural heritage and timeless Lowcountry character, the home features soaring 11-foot ceilings, original wide-plank heart pine floors, beautifully preserved original and custom woodwork, and a private piazza one of the most charming along iconic Broad Street. Framed by original columns crowned with Temple of Winds capitals, the piazza gracefully extends the living space outdoors, creating an idyllic setting for morning coffee, alfresco dining, evening cocktails, and front-row views of Charleston's beloved parades and festivities. Steeped in history, the residence received...the prestigious Carolopolis Award in 2002, recognizing its exceptional preservation. In the waning days of the Civil War, Union generals were once confined within the home, and a sketchbook by General Truman Seymour reveals that even they were drawn to the piazza's quiet beauty. Inside, the current owners have thoughtfully preserved the home's historic soul while introducing tasteful modern comforts. The residence features two fireplaces with marble surrounds and custom mantels, including a striking bas-relief carving in the living room that faithfully replicates the drawing room mantle at Drayton Hall, one of America's most revered plantation homes. Large original pocket doors elegantly separate the living and sleeping spaces, adding both architectural drama and functional privacy. The primary bath has been beautifully updated with marble finishes and a luxurious spa-style tub with rainfall shower, offering a tranquil retreat at day's end. An updated kitchen, along with thoughtfully designed custom shelving and closet spaces, further enhances everyday living. Perfectly positioned just steps from Colonial Lake, this remarkable residence is also moments from beloved neighborhood favorites such as Burbage's Grocery, along with Charleston's celebrated restaurants, boutiques, and cultural landmarks. Adding to its rarity and appeal is coveted off-street parking, a true luxury in this historic district. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Charleston's history, where elegance, heritage, and modern comfort blend effortlessly in the heart of the Holy City.
