18 Chalmers St, Charleston, SC 29401

Nestled in the desirable French Quarter on the corner of Church and Chalmers Streets across from the Dock Street Theater, this single family residence with garage and off-street parking combines a convenient lifestyle with ultimate location. Enjoy an easy walk to many of Charleston's special places: restaurants, art galleries, the King Street antique district, Waterfront Park, and the historic Battery and Market. The house may be entered through the main door on Chalmers Street or through a gated flagstone courtyard. The property is a combination of two houses, one (identified as 128-1/2 Church) dated to circa 1770 and the other of a later date, joined in the 1930's. Walls and ceilings are of sinker cypress, a/k/a pickled heart of cypress. This unique wood was in the Santee River at Wadmacon Island for at least 50 years. Beautiful flooring of limestone imported from England and also heart of pine. Kitchen and drawing room open onto a charming old flagstone courtyard with two beautiful date nut palms. Baths and kitchen recently restored. Seven fireplaces with gas logs, two water pumps in crawl space, three HVAC systems, two water heaters, Baldwin brass hardware, and cypress window shutters are just a few of the many special features of this fine historic property.
