The iconic Stevens-Lathers antebellum mansion is a celebrated, important property in Charleston, located at the tip of the Peninsula across from White Point Garden. Recently renovated and restored, the improvements are significant and respectful of the home's architecture. Boasting stunning waterfront views of the Ashley River, Ft. Sumter, and across the Peninsula, this impressive Greek Revival double house was built in the 1840's, a very prosperous period in Charleston, by Samuel Norman Stevens. This home was considered one of the finest mansions built on the Peninsula at the time and has hosted many important gatherings of the Charleston Society from its beginning to the present day.The deep lot includes a beautiful Charleston garden overlooking the original kitchen house and mansion. Originally built as a 3-story 'Neoclassical showpiece' by Stevens, it was later converted in the 1870's by its new owner, Col. Richard Lathers, into a more grandiose residence, adding a library on the new 4th floor and a grand ballroom measuring 25 x 40, detailing the Second Empire style. Most of the 1st- and 2nd-period architecture remains in the plaster cornices, Greek Revival columns, and door surrounds decorated with Anthemia leaves. The sweeping, oval staircase with an Empire Newel post still remains. The property still exists as a residence and an 11-room fully licensed and grandfathered inn, the Battery Carriage Inn. The Stevens-Lathers House is considered a Category 1 property by the City of Charleston and awaits a new steward to live in as a residence or maintain the mixed-use with a Boutique Inn.

21 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to steward one of Charleston's most historically significant residences. Known as the Edmondston-Alston House, this extraordinary South of Broad property has stood overlooking Charleston Harbor for two centuries. It embodies the architectural beauty, resilience, and layered history that define the Charleston peninsula.Constructed in 1825 for Scottish shipping merchant Charles Edmondston, the residence was among the first substantial houses built along the city's seawall and what is now Charleston's iconic High Battery. A decade later, the property was acquired by Charles Alston, a member of a well-established Lowcountry rice planting family, who refined the house in the Greek Revival style. Alston added architectural elements including the signature three tiered piazzas supported by Corinthian columns and a distinctive parapet bearing the Alston family crest. From its earliest years, the house has been closely tied to Charleston's network of prominent families. In 1849, the marriage of Williams Middleton to Susan Pringle Smith united the Edmondston-Alston House with Middleton Place under one extended family lineage. Susan Pringle Smith's ancestry traces to Bishop Robert Smith, who arrived in Charleston in 1757, and served as the first American Episcopal bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina. Bishop Smith also played a foundational role in the creation of the College of Charleston, helping to finance and establish the institution. Through generations of intermarriage among the Smith, Middleton, and Alston families, ownership and stewardship of both Middleton Place and the Edmondston-Alston House became intertwined, reinforcing a legacy deeply rooted in land and heritage. The house has witnessed defining moments in American history. From the third floor piazza overlooking the harbor, Confederate General P. G. T. Beauregard observed the first shots of the Civil War in 1861. Later that year, General Robert E. Lee sought refuge here during the Great Fire of Charleston. For generations, the Edmondston-Alston House functioned not only as a residence but as part of a broader narrative connecting Charleston to Middleton Place. The Edmondston-Alston House served as a seasonal house, with family members residing during the summer months while maintaining their deep ties to the Middleton Place property. The grounds of the Edmondston-Alston House, surrounded by large oak trees, provided shade during the summer months. Within the house, the interiors were filled with historical artifacts and heirlooms, including Middleton Place silver. Over time, as family needs evolved, portions of the house were preserved while others remained actively lived in, reflecting the natural progression of a house continuously shaped by its stewards. In 1969, a generational transition took place when ownership of the Edmondston-Alston House formally passed to Charles Halliwell Pringle Duell, a twelfth generation Middleton descendant. The estate was thoughtfully divided, with Charles receiving the physical properties, including the Edmondston-Alston House and Middleton Place. The property features three distinct structures, creating a private enclave rarely found within Charleston's historic district. The main residence welcomes guests through a foyer that immediately establishes the scale of the house. Twelve foot ceilings, original moldings, and period craftsmanship reflect the artistry of early nineteenth century construction. Architectural detailing evolves from floor to floor, with subtle variations in trim work that speak to the layered history of the house. On the main level, two formal parlors extend from the central foyer, with original pocket doors allowing the spaces to flow together for entertaining or remain intimate for quieter gatherings. A staircase rises to the second floor, where two additional parlors continue the tradition of formal entertaining. These grand rooms, with their twelve foot ceilings, fireplaces, and intricate millwork, once served as important social spaces within the household. One parlor was historically reserved for ladies' gatherings, offering a glimpse into the customs of the period, while a library, traditionally used as a gentlemen's withdrawing room, adds further character to this level. The third floor serves today as the primary living quarters, where natural light and harbor views reflect the house's original design and orientation toward Charleston Harbor. This level includes two bedrooms, along with a spacious dining room that could easily serve as an additional bedroom. Directly behind the main residence, The Quarters, historically the kitchen building and living quarters for the enslaved, have been preserved and now serve as a private two story retreat with a living area, kitchenette, and gas burning fireplace on the main level. Upstairs, two well proportioned bedrooms and bathrooms make for inviting accommodations. Adjacent to the Quarters is the historic Carriage House, originally used as stables for horses and carriages as well as quarters for groomsmen, now configured as a bed and breakfast. The interiors retain original beamed ceilings and heart pine floors, preserving the authenticity of the structure. A sitting room occupies the main level, while two generously sized rooms are located upstairs. Together, the main residence, The Quarters, and The Carriage House form an exceptional historic estate along Charleston's High Battery. With harbor views, architectural pedigree, and centuries of documented history shaped by generations of stewardship, 21 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to own and preserve a remarkable piece of Charleston's past.

On one of the most beautiful streets in historic downtown Charleston, behind garden walls and beneath the shade of live oaks, stands the Thomas Rose House, an extraordinary Georgian residence built in 1735 when Charles Town was still a young Colonial port. For nearly 300 years, this remarkable home has witnessed the evolution of the Holy City--surviving devastating fires, wars, earthquakes, and storms--while retaining its elegant architecture and inimitable craftsmanship. Today, following a meticulous restoration that seamlessly blends historic integrity with modern luxury, this South of Broad estate offers something almost impossible to replicate: a fully livable 18th-century masterpiece set within expansive gardens in the heart of America's most beautifully preserved historic city.The property occupies Lot 61 of the original Grand Modell of Charles Town, granted in 1680 to Elizabeth Willis. By 1701, it had passed to the wealthy Elliott family. Thomas Eliott bequeathed the property to his daughter Beuler, who married Thomas Rose in 1733. Shortly thereafter, Rose commissioned the distinguished residence that still bears his name. The elegant Georgian merchant house was intended to reflect the fashionable architecture of England's port cities. Constructed of brick and oyster-shell plaster, the two-and-a-half-story structure is 5 bays wide with a hipped roof punctuated by dormers and a spectacular full-width drawing room that survives today in all its original grandeur. Around 1790, the iconic double piazzas were added and the entrance moved from the center of Church Street to the south facade to conform to the Charleston single house style that was popular at the time. The piazza door is noteworthy for its columned surround topped by a fanlight and triangular pediment. Remarkably, the interior of the home retains many of its original 18th-century architectural features, preserved in museum-quality fashion. Visitors enter into a gracious reception room and adjoining office. Cypress paneled walls, fireplace surrounds, heart pine floors, high ceilings, deep shuttered windows, and architectural niches immediately showcase the home's extraordinary craftsmanship. A series of arched doors and transoms guide the flow of light throughout the house. Past the reception room, the dining room exhibits a similar level of formality. The stair hall is paneled in black walnut with a mahogany railing and finely detailed stair brackets that reflect the artistry of its builders. Upstairs, the grand drawing room spans the entire width of the building--believed to be the earliest surviving example of this layout in Charleston. Its delicate Adams-style mantel dates to the early 19th century. A jib door beneath the frontmost window allows access to the second-story piazza and Lowcountry breezes. Despite its 1735 origins, the house has been thoughtfully adapted for modern living. Discreet updates include an elevator, modern alarm system, and keyless entry integrated along antique brass hardware. A powder room off the stair hall and other carefully placed conveniences support everyday living without compromising the home's architectural authenticity. In 1942, owner and architect Henry P. Staats built the hyphen that connects the current kitchen and primary bath above to the previously detached kitchen and laundry outbuilding. The modern chef's kitchen features custom cabinetry, a La Cornue gas range (with 6 Delft tiles rescued from the drawing room fireplace restoration placed in the backsplash above), and integrated Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. A butler's pantry with bar, wine cooler, and Bosch integrated dishwasher supports effortless entertaining. Just beyond, a screened porch dining room allows meals to be enjoyed outside year-round. Adjacent to the kitchen, the original working kitchen has been transformed into a comfortable family room. The original kitchen hearth with beehive oven and herringbone brick floor serve as dramatic focal points. The mirror above the hearth cleverly conceals a television, blending the latest in modern tech seamlessly into its historic surroundings. The original laundry room continues to be used for that purpose. Its fireplace, then used to boil water for washing clothes and linens, is now joined by high-tech machines in another juxtaposition of technologies. The luxurious primary suite comprises the remainder of the second floor and can be separated from the entertaining areas of the house for privacy. A bedroom window opens to the piazza through a jib door, offering views of the formal parterre garden framed by an arcade of arches. The primary bath includes dual sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, a separate water closet with sink, and a massive marble shower room with multiple shower heads for a spa-like experience. The adjoining dressing room feels more like a private boutique than a traditional closet. Down the hall, a flexible room-sized closet could easily serve as a sitting room, nursery, dressing room, or private home office. Third floor adds 3 dormer bedrooms and a full bath. The bedrooms each have built-in closets and drawers. Two also feature built-in desks, ideal for school-aged children. Guest lodging is thoughtfully arranged to provide both comfort and privacy. The original carriage house has been transformed into a suite with sitting, dining, and sleeping areas, along with a breakfast bar and a full bath. The carriage doors are preserved as large windows. Above is a studio apartment with its own exterior entrance and private walled courtyard. This residence includes a full kitchenette and stacked laundry, along with a bedroom and full bath. A balcony overlooking the gardens provides the perfect place for al fresco dining. The grounds of the Thomas Rose House are as significant as the residence itself. The formal gardens were designed by renowned landscape architect Loutrel Briggs in 1954. A series of outdoor rooms provide both beauty and privacy, enclosed by high stucco and brick walls and shaded by mature live oaks. The hardscape and plantings were updated in 2019-20 by Sheila Wertimer. Most recently, Glen Gardner reestablished the parterre garden surrounding an armillary sphere--a landscape element that predates the Briggs layout. Altogether, the gardens of 59 Church Street have been curated by a virtual "Who's Who" of Charleston landscape design. A heated and cooled swimming pool and spa, hidden terraced garden, and garden house (not included in the square footage) create multiple opportunities for entertaining and retreat. A large parking court behind an automatic mahogany gate offers abundant off-street parking. Steeped in history. Immersed in a sense of time and place. For the next owner, the Thomas Rose House offers something far more meaningful than a remarkable home: the opportunity to add your name to the story of one of Charleston's most important architectural treasures. Three centuries of history. One extraordinary opportunity. Your legacy awaits...
