Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block in downtown Charleston. The John Bulow House at 174 A Saint Philip Street Unit 1 is a 3-bed 3-bath gem blending modern comfort with Charleston’s rich history just one block from King St. Recognized with 5 Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this getaway is ideal for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.

Bedroom 1 – Queen bed, dressing table, fireplace, antique mirror, sizable closet, fashonable decor. Features a bespoke-constructed Murphy bed, accepting additional living space.
Bedroom 2 – King bed, ensuite bath, side table, lamps, writing desk, and colorful art.
Bedroom 3 – Queen bed, reading lamps, writing table, closet, and unique decor.

Living Room – Charming bay window, period fireplace, four upholstered chairs, flat-screen TV.
Kitchen – Totally outfitted with modern appliances, combination Keurig pod/pot coffee machine.
Dining Area – Cavernous dining table with seating for six, opening to the living room.

- Landscaped parking for 1 car.

This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a refreshed dependency or a freshly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it located on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old wood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and appeal that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It's the real deal!

Offsite Resort Conveniences:
- Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 allowed at the pool).
- Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana units available).
- Gym and exercise classes (additional charges apply).
- Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces.
- Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.

St. Philip Square offers a city block of historic elegance right in the heart of Charleston’s vibrant Cannonborough district. Just one block to King Street, walkable to Charleston’s world acclaimed dining, attractions and shopping along King Street.
Earning 5 esteemed awards from The Preservation Society of Charleston for historic reservation, our accommodations blend new with nostalgia - each boasting unique charm and character.
