Property Description
The iconic Righton-Chisolm House, circa 1780, is a rare architectural jewel gracefully positioned at the bend of Church and Water Street, one of Charleston's most picturesque and historically significant settings. Meticulously and comprehensively renovated in 2021, the residence was thoughtfully reimagined, reconfigured, and expanded to enhance modern livability while reverently preserving its centuries-old character and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home, a chef's gourmet, eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into a generously scaled screened porch, creating an effortless connection to the professionally landscaped private garden and detached outdoor studio-an ideal retreat for entertaining, creative pursuits, or quiet reflection.
