Description

This spectacular home overlooking Colonial Lake was designed by noted architect Bradford Lee Gilbert and constructed by Dr. Manning Simons for his bride in 1902. Set along one of downtown Charleston's most distinguished and picturesque avenues, 22 Rutledge Avenue is a rare, fully reimagined historic residence that seamlessly blends timeless architecture with exceptional modern updates. Behind its stately façade lies a thoughtfully curated home offering elegant interiors and resort-style outdoor living creating a true turnkey opportunity in the heart of the city.

Supplements: Handsome black and white marble surround the entry fountain leading to the front door. The spacious entry foyer is complemented by all new interior and exterior lighting that enhances the home's classic architectural details. The main residence is comprised of 4 Bedrooms and 4 ½ Baths and includes living and dining rooms that are generously sized, along with a large den for family gatherings. Leaded glass windows add to the charm of these beautiful rooms. An adjacent wet bar completes the large area for entertainment and relaxation. A fully renovated kitchen serves as the centerpiece of activity and hosts easy flow for everyday living and comfort. A wall of windows from the kitchen overlooks the beautifully landscaped garden and pool area. The fourth bedroom is currently used as extra large closet but can be returned to its original use. A full house water filtration system and working fireplaces throughout complete the luxury downtown lifestyle. Complementing the property is a beautifully restored carriage house that offers remarkable living and entertaining flexibility. The early 19th century house contains 2 Bedrooms and 1½ Baths and features a fully restored kitchen, den, downstairs bathroom and laundry area. Updated systems throughout make the carriage house ideal for guests or extended living. With its exceptional level of renovation, refined finishes, and prime location, 22 Rutledge Avenue stands as a rare offering, gracefully honoring Charleston's architectural heritage while delivering the comfort, style, and ease of modern luxury living.
