4 Ashmead Place

Charleston, SC 29403

Now on offer, what may be one of the best kept secrets of the Charleston Peninsula. Few properties can boast a location that is at once in the heart of our beautiful and historic city and at the same time offer such privacy. Welcome to 4 Ashmead. This elegant Charleston Single style home is located in the midst of one of the city's most famous boroughs, Wraggborough and offers unparalleled access to the city but without the throngs of passers-by. Adjacent to the Joseph Manigault house and gardens on two sides with the front overlooking the entirety of the beautifully re-landscaped Wragg Square, 4 Ashmead stands apart from it's neighbors on this very quiet non-throughway street. A short block from The Charleston Museum or the famous Marion Square, and just two blocks from the historichistoric Aiken-Rhett House, this home sits among many historic and significant neighbors. And although it certainly looks the part, one of the most favorable attributes of the property is that, having been built in 1970, it benefits from modern construction methods and materials. The current owners invested significantly in transforming this home. The side porches became true Charleston piazzas, a gated driveway was introduced providing off street parking for up to 3 cars, and at the rear of the house a gorgeous garden was resurrected. Inside, another top to bottom renaissance occurred completely changing the home into a vibrant and inviting showpiece. The home utilizes a traditional "upside down" plan with the kitchen, dining, and living area being on the second floor to capture breezes from the piazza and uninterrupted views of the neighboring gardens and park. Similarly, the first floor offers additional gathering space at the front of the home with the guest bedrooms located further back in the home to take advantage of the privacy and peacefulness afforded by this unique setting.
