This 5,012-square-foot residence boasts four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and every modern convenience. Currently listed by Helen Geer of William Means Real Estate, the 136-year-old home was recently upgraded to include all new shutters, completely restored piazzas, new exterior finishes, and a top-of-the line chef's kitchen. Other highlights include soaring ceilings, a sprawling main suite, a private walled garden, and rooftop views. "It is truly a fabulous home," Geer told Southern Living. The home at 6 Legare Street is currently listed for $3,950,000.
