Description
Circa 1843, the William Thompson House is located in the Ansonborough neighborhood of historic Charleston. This elegant residence blends preserved architectural character with thoughtful modern updates, creating a refined and inviting living experience.
The property features off street parking for two vehicles and newly designed gardens that frame the pool with lush plantings, including lemon trees. A private terrace, enhanced by a charming garden gate, offers a tranquil setting for outdoor living. Recent improvements include a new irrigation system, a landscape lighting system, gas lanterns at the front entrance, recently replaced heating and cooling systems, a newer slate roof, and a fully cleaned and encapsulated crawl space.
Supplements: A Ring system is also in place. Inside, the home offers three functioning wood burning fireplaces and a series of beautifully scaled rooms. The wood paneled study, tucked quietly at the rear of the home, provides a peaceful retreat and includes a dedicated staircase that leads to an upstairs guest suite. The spacious primary suite includes a generous steam shower and a private porch that overlooks the pool and gardens. This outdoor space extends directly from the large dressing room and offers a comfortable setting for reading or relaxing throughout the day. The third floor includes two additional bright bedrooms that share a well appointed bathroom. This remarkable residence presents a rare opportunity to own a significant historic property with modern comforts in one of Charleston's most desirable residential locations.
