Description

15 Elizabeth Street in historic downtown Charleston is a truly exceptional home that perfectly balances the grace of Charleston's historic architecture with the peace of mind and comfort of modern construction. Built in 1993, this residence was intentionally designed to mirror the elegance and proportions of nineteenth-century Charleston homes, earning a Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston for its authentic architectural design. While it looks and feels like a classic Charleston residence, it offers the reliability and efficiency of newer construction--a rare and highly desirable combination in the heart of downtown.In 2022, a full-scale, carefully executed renovation that elevated both its interior and exterior was completed. The kitchen was fully reimagined with premium appliances including 2 ovens (one convection/steamer and gas range/oven), elegant finishes, and design details that reflect both sophistication and timeless Lowcountry style. The beautiful hardwoods throughout were refinished and each bathroom was redesigned with new tile, updated fixtures, and elevated materials to create fresh, spa-like spaces. Behind the walls and beneath the floors, major system upgrades were also completed, including new HVAC units and dehumidifiers, plumbing improvements like a water pressure enhancer, a new tankless water heater, and a fully encapsulated and dehumidified crawl space. The roof was replaced in 2020, ensuring long-term durability, and the exterior rear doors were also replaced. Every update was thoughtfully selected to blend seamlessly with the home's character while offering modern convenience and peace of mind. The property's outdoor spaces were equally transformed. The exterior was freshly repainted in 2023, and a new brick patio now anchors the redesigned backyard, creating a private and serene retreat ideal for relaxing or entertaining under your very own Italian cypress trees. A new automatic gate secures the driveway, leading to two coveted off-street parking spaces as well as bike and outdoor storage, features that are exceptionally hard to find in historic downtown. Positioned in a notably less flood prone area of Charleston, 15 Elizabeth Street offers an extra layer of reassurance for those mindful of these concerns. Its central location places residents within easy walking distance of many of Charleston's most beloved destinations, including the boutiques and award-winning restaurants of King Street, the Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square, the performances at the Gaillard Center, and the scenic campus of the College of Charleston. The Charleston Museum, the Aiken-Rhett House, and numerous galleries and cafés are also just steps away, offering an immersive experience in the city's historic and cultural fabric. 15 Elizabeth Street represents the rare opportunity to enjoy the look and feel of a historic Charleston home, complete with architectural distinction and classic curb appeal, without the upkeep of a century's old property. With its Carolopolis-recognized design, comprehensive 2022 renovation and tranquil outdoor living spaces, this home embodies the best of both worlds: the timeless beauty of Charleston's past and the effortless livability of its present. Homes in this condition in historic downtown Charleston do not stay on the market long. Schedule your private tour today.
