Description

The iconic Righton-Chisolm House, circa 1780, is a rare architectural jewel gracefully positioned at the bend of Church and Water Street, one of Charleston's most picturesque and historically significant settings. Meticulously and comprehensively renovated in 2021, the residence was thoughtfully reimagined, reconfigured, and expanded to enhance modern livability while reverently preserving its centuries-old character and craftsmanship. At the heart of the home, a chef's gourmet, eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into a generously scaled screened porch, creating an effortless connection to the professionally landscaped private garden and detached outdoor studio-an ideal retreat for entertaining, creative pursuits, or quiet reflection.

Supplements: A refined library and family room offer intimate, inviting spaces to unwind, while the formal dining room, adorned with exquisite custom wallpaper, sets a sophisticated stage for elegant gatherings. The second-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring a lavishly extended bath designed for comfort and indulgence. The home's signature piazza, doubled in size during the renovation, provides an exceptional vantage point for enjoying sunset views and gentle harbor breezes. Two additional second-floor guest bedrooms are filled with natural light and share a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill bath. The third floor offers two charming dormer rooms and a full bath, providing flexible space for additional bedrooms, offices, or storage. Celebrated for its exceptional restoration, the home has been featured in Southern Living, Condé Nast, and Explore Charleston, and is the proud recipient of the prestigious Carolopolis Award. Extensive infrastructure improvements ensure peace of mind, including new HVAC systems, a newly added first-floor powder room, upgraded lighting, restored fireplace masonry, and custom window treatments throughout. This is a truly turn-key, museum-quality residence, offering timeless Charleston elegance with the comforts and confidence of modern luxury living.
