STUNNING CHARLESTON SINGLE HOUSE 

Located in the center of Downtown Charleston, just across the street from the Charleston Museum and one block from King Street, 19 John Street is a textbook example of a Charleston Single House. One of the William Henry Houston Tenements constructed between 1852 and 1856, this home once served as a rental for clerks, clothiers and craftsmen. It is currently undergoing an extensive renovation to include new electrical wiring with 250 amp service, new HVAC systems with zoned temperature controls and new plumbing and fixtures. Exterior highlights include Newly added iron gates, a tabby driveway with ample off-street parking, low-voltage landscape lighting, zoned sprinkler system, and a beautifully landscaped rear yard with bluestone patios. The double side piazzas have been renovated, and the exterior offers wood siding with a stucco addition. The roof is standing seam metal and the gutters and downspouts are made from copper. This home has an elevator for access to the first and second floors.

First Floor:  Renovations have kept the original home’s floor plan true to the Charleston Single House. The main level offers a living room with fireplace and a dining room with fireplace and large closet for serving pieces and linens or it could be easily converted to a wet bar. Connected to the dining room is a large pantry with beautiful French doors and the kitchen with breakfast area, window seat, open custom cabinets for dishes or display of art objects. Highlights of the kitchen include stainless steel appliances: high BTU gas range with double ovens, pot filler, stainless steel hood, custom cabinets with wine storage, marble countertops, and subway tiles on the walls. French doors spill onto a bluestone patio and steps to the backyard. A powder room is also convenient to the main gathering places. Interior features include heart pine floors, a central vacuum system, intercom, and washer/dryer connections on both the first and second floors.

Second Floor:  The master bedroom has a private en suite bath with Jacuzzi tub, double sinks, and a glass and marble shower with multiple shower heads, and beautiful marble floors throughout the master bath. A large walk-in closet as well as a large open storage area offer loads of storage options. A separate study, or special guest suite with full bath is privately accessible from the elevator. An additional guest bedroom with full bath are additional rooms on this level.

Third Floor:  This level has two dormer-style bedrooms with lots of light, window seat with storage below, and several separate storage areas as well. The painted pine walls and ceilings add a special touch to this space.
