Property Description
Designed by notable North Carolina architect, Erle Stillwell, and built for the Maybank family of Charleston in 1931, 78 Murray is an outstanding example of a Colonial Revival style home, providing beautiful vistas of the historic Ashley River. This waterfront home has been owned by the Maybank family since its construction during the Great Depression and it has never been offered for sale. Set back off the ''Boulevard'' and quietly nestled behind two grand live oaks, the symmetrically designed facade is showcased by a pedimented entrance door, a blue stone terrace running the full length of the home, a handsome side gabled slate roof and two prominent end chimneys.
