Remarks: A rare opportunity to own one of Charleston's most treasured historical residences. The renowned Magwood-Moreland house is an architectural landmark in the prestigious Battery area of historic Charleston. Samuel Magwood built the house circa 1825 on a foundation of crisscrossed Palmetto logs. It is believed that the home survived the 1886 earthquake and numerous hurricanes because of this foundation. The house has been immaculately maintained and is an historical work of art. Throughout the home you'll find heart of pine flooring, antique fixtures, heavy crown molding and wainscoting. The entire interior is trimmed with exquisite woodwork. The kitchen features high end stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Large master suite on the second floor has an attached sitting room/office with views of the Charleston Harbor. Bathroom floors, showers, and wainscoting are finished with marble and ceramic tile. Main home has an attached carriage house for guests or for use as a rental (currently rented for $2000/month). Carriage house is 854 sqft and includes living area, kitchen, fireplace, two bedrooms and one bath. The home's exterior features working shutters, covered porch and balcony, courtyards and formal garden (with fountain) expertly landscaped by nationally recognized, Robert Chestnut, landscape lighting, irrigation, in ground pool and pergola, and full bar with sink and refrigerator. Electronic coded security gate must be used to access the oyster shell concrete driveway, which is large enough for 12 cars. House is located within one block of the battery, the Ashley River, and White Point Gardens, and is walking distance to shopping and dining. Extraordinary beyond words. Homes like this rarely become available for purchase.
