Set on a rare double lot with historic ties to the original Roper Hospital, this exceptional Charleston single residence seamlessly blends architectural pedigree with inspired modern design. Originally constructed in 1995 by an architect for his own family, and honored with a 1996 Preservation Society of Charleston Carolopolis Award, this distinguished home has been completely reimagined through a meticulous, down-to-the-studs renovation in 2023 and 2024 addition, including a thoughtfully designed pool house and stunning new primary suite by architect Sebastian von Marschall. Beyond its classic stucco facade, the interiors are both sophisticated and expressive, artfully layering antique furnishings with bold contemporary elements--statement lighting, abstract art, richly saturated paintand striking wallpapers throughout.
