Turn back time in this refined historic Charleston residence (OP2025-06356). Soaring 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, and grand sash windows set the tone for an elegant retreat. A master bedroom and curtained sunroom each offer king beds for flexible sleeping. Located in a quiet, walkable historic downtown neighborhood. Perfect for couples or a sophisticated girls’ weekend. Private entrance, thoughtfully designed 1,000 sq. ft. interior. Exclusive off-street parking with EV charger.

Good to know

Set on a prestigious Broad Street block, steps from the boutiques of lower King and the galleries and restaurants of the French Quarter, this home sits in a true historic residential neighborhood – not in the dense short-term rental overlay where whole blocks have become mini hotel districts. Here, you’re staying in one of the few licensed short-term rentals among long-time neighbors, leafy streets, and classic Charleston homes. Inside, your private 1,000 sq. ft. residence feels like a small boutique hotel suite hidden inside an 1850s house. Original 12-ft ceilings, polished wood floors, tall sash windows, and heritage colors create a refined, quietly luxurious backdrop. Thoughtful modern updates keep everything effortless. SLEEP - The home offers a serene king bedroom with luxe linens and a historic mantel, plus a curtained sunroom with a second king bed, giving guests flexible sleeping arrangements. - Ideal layout for a couple wanting extra space, two friends traveling together, or a relaxed girls’ weekend. LIVE -Comfortable living room with a large flatscreen TV for unwinding after a day exploring. -Premium washer and dryer so you can pack light and still feel at home. COOK The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from simple breakfasts to dinner in: - Bosch gas stove and oven - Bosch dishwasher - Full-size fridge with filtered water and ice - Instant-on boiling water dispenser - Keurig coffee maker and drip coffee machine - Microwave and blender - Complete cookware, dinnerware, glassware, and silverware REFRESH -Modern, spa-style bathroom with a sleek rain shower and quality towels. OUTDOOR SPACE -Private courtyard with historic Charleston battery benches -Fountain and greenery that make it feel like your own secret garden in the middle of downtown PARKING & EV - Private, off-street parking – a rare luxury in this part of the city - EV charger on-site so you can plug in overnight and explore stress-free by day WHO THIS HOME IS FOR This is the perfect base for guests who want the best of Charleston – architecture, food, galleries, and water views – and want to come “home” to a calm, residential street rather than a late-night party scene. If your ideal evening is a great dinner on lower King, a quiet walk back, and a glass of wine in a hidden courtyard, you’re in the right place.

Other Details to Note

As with many 170-year-old historic Charleston homes, the original heart-pine floors have natural unevenness, adding to the character of the space. The home was also built before modern residential plumbing, so there is a small step up to both the kitchen and bathroom. These features are typical of properties in this era and part of the home’s unique charm.

This place had everything you’d expect with a 5 star review: great location, spacious, historic charm, clean, and a responsive host. Tim went above and beyond with other nice touches like complimentary snacks and wine, plenty of coffee, and a local Charleston guide. Highly recommend!

I think this was our 6th or 7th stay at Tim's lovely home which has all the amenities one needs. A great location in Harlston, one of the historic neighborhoods. The king bed is incredibly comfortable and the home is so special with the tall ceilings and large windows. A great choice for a visit to Charleston.

I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s so I’ll cut to the chase, this place was outstanding! - As a first time visitor to Charleston we found the location to be fantastic. We could walk everywhere! Also, the street was quiet and peaceful at night! - If you are like me and enjoy coffee or tea in the morning, fear not…Timothy’s coffee game is top notch! - Beds are very comfortable! The house is immaculate. - Bonus: Timothy welcomed us with a bottle of Red and White wine which we thoroughly enjoyed! - Bonus #2: We had a late departure flight and Timothy was great allowing a late check out. Great trip!

Tim deserves his 5-star rating. This place is amazing. Came to work remotely and check out Charleston during the evenings and this was the PERFECT launching pad with plenty of comfortable places to work and incredible natural light. I will be back for sure.
