Property Description
The entire second floor of the main residence is devoted to the primary suite, creating a spacious private retreat with a beautiful soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Exceptional closet space, including two walk-in closets throughout the main residence, adds a level of convenience rarely associated with historic Charleston living.
The restoration extends beyond the interiors, with substantial masonry work encompassing repointing of the foundation piers and brickwork. Updated systems and careful attention to the building itself reflect a thoughtful commitment to its preservation.
Glen Gardiner-designed grounds create an intimate garden retreat centered around the pool. A new outdoor dining area with premium landscape turf provides an inviting setting for alfresco meals, while covered piazzas and courtyard seating offer places to gather or unwind. Nestled against the garden's historic brick walls, the distinctive approximately 150-square-foot electrified Garden Pavilion features a curved façade, round windows, and a handsome paneled door, adding both utility and architectural charm.
Currently enjoyed as guest accommodations, 5½ Alexander welcomes visiting family and friends with the convenience of an interior connection to the main residence and a private entrance from George Street. Separate metering offers additional flexibility, including potential rental use should a future owner desire.
Off-street parking for three vehicles, with an EV charger on the George Street parking side, completes this exceptional offering--a restored historic residence with the space, privacy, and amenities to enjoy Charleston living at its finest.
