The Mary Fife House. Circa 1817, alteration 1840, addition 1972, kitchen, baths, system update 2010. No expense was spared in last year's renovation of this charming masonry "Charleston Single" style located in the heart of 18th Century Charleston. South of Broad, nicely sited back from historic Church Street, allows for ample parking and walled gardens originally by Loutrel Briggs, updated by Sheila Wertimer, landscape architects. The interior rooms throughout are well proportioned and most offer views as well as access via French doors to the beautiful gardens. Fireplaces in most rooms create an easy arrangement of furniture. The main level features formal living room, dining room both with hand painted "faux" inlays within the heart pine floors. The recently updated kitchen and library, both beautifully finished. The kitchen has everything, top level finishes, appliances, with great garden views. A newly created rear galley leads to a comfortable library also overlooking the rear garden via French doors, half bath nearby. The second level offers a bright, sunny guest bedroom on the Church Street side. The bath was completely redone last year. The master suite was recently enlarged with a completely new master bath, double vanities, separate tub and walk-in shower all with the finest finishes. Part of the attic was recently added to the master suite giving almost 500 SqFt of closet and storage space. Note: The home is currently used as a two bedroom floor plan, a third bedroom/bath could be returned to the first level if needed. Split system HVAC and generator were also recently added. The second floor piazza is screened and overlooks the handsome Thomas Rose House across Church Street. Historic Charleston Foundation holds a facade easement on the property. Current as of 2012-11-04.
