CHARLESTON UNITED STATES VILLA FOR SALE WITH GARDEN

The James Chapman House was built by the owner as named around the middle of the 19th century in the "urban version of the Italian Villa Style". This beautiful home ideal for entertaining is acknowledged in This is Charleston, an Architectural Survey of a Unique American City by the Carolina Art Association as "Buildings Considered Worthy of Mention". A write up in John Poston's Book, The Buildings of Charleston, describes this unique masonry building with unusual features such as a screen for a "masked piazza on the west" and a Venetian window “framed by the front gable with its dentiled cornice”.

This South of Broad location is steps from the Battery, within walking distance of the Charleston Yacht Club, restaurants, shops and galleries.

The flow of the beautifully renovated property lends itself to entertaining Charleston Style bringing the indoor and outdoor spaces together. The large drawing room flows directly into the large dining room with French doors that open into the family room and kitchen.

The third floor with two bedrooms and a bath also includes water views of the Charleston Harbor.
