Inside, a gracious foyer and sweeping mahogany staircase set the tone for interiors filled with historic detail. Pocket doors, five jib doors, Greek Revival millwork, original Carrara marble mantels, and the signatures of "R.H. and R.Q. Pinckney 1882" etched into the dining room window panes have all been beautifully preserved. The formal living and dining rooms open to double piazzas, creating an easy connection to harbor views and outdoor living. The ground level presents incredible flexibility, featuring its own entrance and the potential for a private guest retreat. The chef's kitchen has been completely reimagined with a BlueStar range, True refrigeration, custom cabinetry, and designer lighting. Additional gathering spaces, including a lower level kitchenette outfitted with Gaggenau appliances and wine storage, provide exceptional versatility for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with dual baths, custom closets, and a fireplace, while three additional bedrooms and beautifully updated bathrooms complete the upper levels. Throughout the house, curated details such as bespoke millwork, Murano chandeliers, and refined finishes enhance every space. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with newly constructed courtyard spaces designed for entertaining, surrounded by lush landscaping and elegant hardscaping. Extensive recent upgrades include the addition of a private glass elevator, restoration of over 30 historic windows, new copper gutters, updated HVAC systems with integrated dehumidification, tankless water heaters, a whole-house generator, modernized electrical and plumbing systems, and a fully integrated audio-visual network. Complete with off-street parking and an exceptional level of restoration, this house presents a unique opportunity to own a true Charleston legacy property, where historic character and modern luxury come together beautifully.
