Built in 1730, this historic South of Broad carriage house offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Charleston history. Once used for storing carriages, the home still showcases its original arched carriage entry, now transformed into a luminous window, and features soaring 13-foot ceilings on the first floor that amplify its sense of space and light. Featured on HBO's Where We Call Home, the residence blends timeless character with thoughtful, designer-led renovations. The living room centers around a fireplace flanked by graceful arched built-ins, while the separate dining room provides an elegant setting for entertaining. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully renovated with Carrara marble countertops, Waterworks fixtures, and designer finishes.The kitchen also includes Sub-Zero and Jenn-Air appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a sunny built-in breakfast nook framed by large windows overlooking the walled courtyard and garden. Upstairs, a built-in study area separates two bedrooms, including the primary suite with walk-in closet, dressing area, and beautifully appointed en suite bath. The primary shower features hand-made Moroccan tile from floor to ceiling, creating a striking focal point. The rear bedroom also includes an attached bath and generous storage. A private walled courtyard and garden off the kitchen offers a quiet outdoor retreat with a dining area and lounge space, ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Additional updates include refinished floors, fresh paint throughout, and a new gas connection for the fireplace, which is also lined for wood burning. Set on high ground, 11 St. Michaels Alley is a rare blend of historic character, thoughtful updates, and South of Broad elegance, a home where every detail honors Charleston's storied past while embracing modern comfort.
