This Historic Pied-a-Terre Is the Perfect Charleston Getaway Home
’Gram-Worthy Curb Appeal
The property at 83 Church Street has been incredibly maintained, with updated and restored historic elements that have been part of the facade for all of its 268-year lifetime. In a town known for its beautiful architecture, it’s no surprise this house (and its twin neighbor) has made its fair share of appearances on Instagram.

This home’s beauty doesn’t stop at the front door. An inviting family room welcomes you upon entering the home, showcasing the heart pine floors, intricate millwork, and bright airiness that continues throughout the three-story house.

Dining Area
Through the French doors is a quaint dining area, accented by the exposed brick of one of the home’s four fireplaces. The back door leads to a small walled patio area.

The Kitchen
Previous owners carved out space to create a stunning kitchen with custom pale blue-gray cabinets, marble countertops, and high-end appliances. The footprint of the kitchen is quite small, but the room they’ve created makes the best use of the space possible—we wouldn’t even mind the size.

Quite a View
The view from the second-floor landing highlights the gorgeous millwork used through the home, from the historic floors and statement banister on the staircases to the painted wall paneling and trim. Lots of windows and a white-heavy color palette creates an airy feel to the space that allows it to feel much larger than it is.

Master Bedroom
See what we mean about all the windows? Even more light pours into the master bedroom on the second floor of the home. The same white and blue color scheme that’s used downstairs is accented by the raw wood mantelpiece. And despite being a smaller house, there’s plenty of closet space and storage areas throughout. There’s also a study on the second floor that could be turned into a bedroom, and another bedroom and full bathroom on the third floor.

Master Bathroom
A luxurious ensuite bathroom has been outfitted with gorgeous marble countertops and tile, beautiful fixtures, and a spa-worthy tub and shower. No detail was spared in creating the perfect retreat for homeowners and visitors alike.
