Property Description
Built circa 1845, this historic residence features gracious living spaces including a stunning double salon/living and dining room anchored by a beautiful brick fireplace, featuring two built in antique armoires set within exposed brick walls. Striking double glass doors with a fanlight transom open directly onto the private walled courtyard, creating effortless indoor outdoor flow, perfect for entertaining. A second living room, punctuated by a crisp white wood paneled accent wall and classic 12 over 12 windows, is filled with natural light.
Architectural Showpiece
One of the home's most distinctive features is the dramatic wood and glass enclosed stair tower, a truly design forward element. This striking staircase becomes an architectural showpiece when illuminated at night and viewed from the terrace, a feature that is both dramatic and uniquely Charleston.
Chef's Kitchen & Intimate Courtyard
The beautifully appointed kitchen features custom wood cabinetry and generous storage, set against a brick backdrop that nods to the home's historic roots while maintaining a clean, modern edge. An antique mirrored backsplash reflects light into the room. The kitchen opens directly onto the private walled terrace, paved into Himalayan yorkstone "mint" stones. This tranquil oasis is designed for low maintenance, high end living, featuring a stylish water feature, beautiful landscaping, terraced dining area, and built-in grill connected to a gas line.
Upstairs Retreat
Upstairs, the glass enclosed stair tower opens to a charming den or versatile study spanning the width of the house, featuring a fireplace, built-in bookcases, and triple hung windows overlooking the courtyard. Both spacious bedrooms feature painted exposed brick and beam walls, tall windows, en suite bathrooms and fireplaces.
Unbeatable Location
Located in the heart of Ansonborough, this historic brick home is just steps from Charleston's world renowned dining, King Street shopping, art galleries, the Gaillard Center, and waterfront destinations, offering unparalleled walkability.
Rich in character, architectural detail, and historic significance, 50 Anson Street is an irreplaceable offering an elegant, sophisticated home perfectly suited for today's refined downtown lifestyle.
