9 Legare St, CHARLESTON

Description

Built by William Harth, also home to Charleston's Civil War Mayor Charles Macbeth. Lower Legare Street, a special place to be in Historic Charleston. Surrounded by grand and architecturally significant mansions, this fine early 19th Century estate was constructed as a large scale "Charleston Single" with three and one half stories on a high English basement. The main house offers spacious formal rooms with well preserved historic details. The main drawing room was later enhanced with a "bay" addition over the piazzas. This "seamless" addition enhances the typical Charleston Single floor plan. The formal dining room opens to a withdrawing room now used as a kitchen/library. The main house now functions beautifully with one totally separate 2 bedroom guest suite with its own entrance. If needed, this space could be easily incorporated to encompass around 7000 SqFt under the main house roof. There is a separate 1 bedroom "cottage" adjacent to the main house kitchen. Currently Main - 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, attached guest - 2 bedroom, 2 baths, detached cottage - 1 bedroom, 1 bath. The double tiered piazzas overlook a well landscaped garden with southern exposure. The parking area will accommodate 3 or more cars. This property is the majority owner within the HOA. The cottage at the rear Gibbes Street entrance is separately owned and maintained. See agent for details. Dining room and entrance hall chandeliers, and elephant door handles do not convey.
