Enchanting Apartment in the Soul of the Historic District - Vacation rental home in Charleston, SC

Summary:
This upstairs apartment is reached through entrance into the original home's front hallway. The hallway is shared by both apartments. At the end of the hallway are the secure double doors that lead to your private second floor apartment.

The stairs lead into a comfortable, roomy and sophisticated living area open to a modest kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances.

The apartment has 3 bedrooms. The first bedroom has two queen beds and a fireplace. The sizable windows and fashonable blue ceiling give this room a calming ambience. Next door there's a marbled floor bathroom with 1920s patina clawfoot tub to soak or shower. This splendid bathroom is ideal for primping at the enormous vanity and vintage stool.

Room No. 2 has twin beds and an exposed brick wall to ceiling fireplace, bringing warmth into this welcoming room for two.

Both of these rooms have access to the enclosed porch that travels the length of the building with a bench to sit and relax. Take the back door down to the garden but be careful on the outdoor stairway.

To the left side of the staircase you will find a room to gather in with a galley kitchen featuring a full size refrigerator, retro apartment stove, dishwasher, and open shelving located on the exposed brick original to the home. There's bar seating around an industrial island, ideal for entertaining as the kitchen opens into a cozy den with another fireplace.

On the opposite end of the home through the french doors you'll find the biggest and most extravagant bedroom in the home. A king bed with a velvet settee at the foot, facing a fireplace. This room features storage for a long stay in the chifforobe and a impressive vanity. Glass doors open up onto a sleeping porch overlooking Society st. ideal for afternoon naps or appreciating Charleston's breezy evenings and the smell of magnolias. You'll find everything you need to relax and feel at home.

The apartment occupies a brick home dating from 1882 in downtown Charleston. A mix of fresh shopping and laid-back eateries pepper the immediate area. Peruse artworks at the Gibbes Museum of Art or see a show at the historic Dock Street theatre.

There's street parking all throughout Charleston, two parking tons close to the home, one half a block up called the George st lot and one a block over on Wentworth called the Wentworth st garage. Our meters have to be fed through 10pm, but cards are taken at most meters so you don't have to depend on change. Uber rides are available throughout the city as well as bicycle taxis and bicycle rental companies.

This is a upstairs apartment, and I ask that guest respectfully note the apartment downstairs... in regards to noise levels and late nighttime activity !
