42 State St, Charleston, SC 29401

Exquisite 1816 gem situated on high ground in the heart of the French Quarter. The William Pritchard Dove House is a Category 2 historic home, deemed ''of irreplaceable importance'' to the city. Handsome federal period detailing greets you as you enter from the 2-car brick and stone driveway. A 1950's renovation added reclaimed marble to the foyer floor after previous decades of commercial use on the ground floor. True to Charleston single house design, the front living room is left from the foyer, with the dining room to the right and powder room under the stair. A stunning glass and steel extension of the brick kitchen house creates a dramatic old-meets-new moment with sleek Poggenpohl cabinetry set against the backdrop of old exposed brick and beams.

Upstairs you are welcomed into the light filled front sitting room with beautifully preserved plaster and trim details and windows offering views across the French Quarter. The comfortable Primary Suite occupies the rear half of the second floor and offers a "wow" moment when you enter the bathroom space... with a dramatic vault to the ceiling, exposed original brick and beams, and light streaming in, this is one of the most dramatic bathroom spaces in Charleston. There are two additional bedrooms and a full bath on the third floor. The lush and private walled garden provides a quiet oasis in the heart of the city, with easy space to entertain directly from the glass-walled kitchen. Utility sheds are tucked behind a leafy garden wall, with a laundry room located just steps from the kitchen. Easy off-street parking for two cars. With a 2004 copper roof, all new HVAC in 2022 and full crawlspace encapsulation in 2022, this home is not only oozing with charm and character, it is in excellent condition and ready for the next owners to become part of this house's history!
