This upstairs apartment is reached through entrance into the original home's front hallway. The hallway is shared by both apartments.

The stairs lead into a comfortable, spacious and sophisticated living area open to a small kitchen with marble countertops and new appliances. The apartment has 3 bedrooms. The first bedroom has two queen beds and a fireplace. The large windows and elegant blue ceiling give this room a calming ambience. Next door there's a marbled floor bathroom with 1920s patina clawfoot tub to soak or shower. This lovely bathroom is perfect for primping at the large vanity and vintage stool. Room No. 2 has twin beds and an exposed brick wall to ceiling fireplace, bringing warmth into this welcoming room for two. Both of these rooms have access to the enclosed porch that travels the length of the building with a bench to sit and relax. Take the back door down to the garden but be careful on the outdoor stairway. To the left side of the staircase you will find a room to gather in with a galley kitchen featuring a full size fridge, retro apartment stove, dishwasher, and open shelving nestled on the exposed brick original to the home. There's bar seating around an industrial island, perfect for entertaining as the kitchen opens into a comfortable den with another fireplace. On the opposite end of the house through the french doors you'll find the largest and most elegant bedroom in the house. A king bed with a velvet settee at the foot, facing a fireplace.

Entire Upstairs apartment is accessible, including private porch. Hallway and main entrance is shared with downstairs guests. if you run into any issues with the house, don’t hesitate to call between 10 am -4pm for emergencies please call any time The apartment occupies a brick house dating from 1882 in downtown Charleston. A mix of upscale shopping and laid-back restaurants pepper the immediate area. Peruse artworks at the Gibbes Museum of Art or see a show at the historic Dock Street theatre. There's street parking all throughout Charleston, two parking lots close to the house, one half a block up called the George st lot and one a block over on Wentworth called the Wentworth st garage. Our meters have to be fed through 10pm, but cards are taken at most meters so you don't have to depend on change. Uber rides are available throughout the city as well as bike taxis and bicycle rental companies. This is a upstairs apartment, and I ask that guest respectfully note the apartment downstairs... in regards to noise levels and late night activity !
