Charleston Real Estate: 134 Broad Street, Charleston, SC 29401

Показать описание

Circa 1872, fully restored in 2020, the historically significant "John Klinck House" stands stately as a rare "double house" on an equally rare double lot on Broad Street, the heartbeat of downtown Charleston. The manicured grounds of this remarkable property are only rivaled by its stunning turnkey interior.

The owners worked with the dream team of Glen Keyes Architects, designer Jill Howard, and Rhode Construction to fuse the period romantic and Italianate elements of the house into perfect harmony with the calm minimalist style of its owners. The amalgam of old and new in their efforts has proven extraordinary in this five bedroom four bathroom masterpiece; the massive renovation showcases the coveted features of the house that include thirteen foot ceilings, graceful arches, splendid marble fireplaces, two-story piazzas, bay and semicircular headed windows, and a generous daily outpour of natural light that literally makes the house shine. The formal living and dining rooms invite a fabulous flow for entertaining, and the family room and generous kitchen area give the home an epicenter ripe for unforgettable gatherings.

The team focused on honoring the past while reimagining the spaces into the present. The gracious rooms seamlessly incorporate antique and modern elements: a 1940s brass and bronze chandelier here, a new wall sconce from Charleston-based Urban Electric Co. or vintage 70s Philips Cube light there. The kitchen's spacious cooking and banquette lounging area are separated by an edgy steel beam lacquered in Delft blue. The dual quartzite countertops pair handsomely with an Italian ILVE range and brass-wrapped plaster hood. Playing off the industrial steel of the funky support beam, a cutting edge stainless steel "appliance garage" was incorporated beside the commercial grade stainless steel fridge. A clever nod to the highly successful grocer Klinck can be found in the smart butler's pantry where crisp white oak cabinetry is designed to look like the traditional grocer crates of his time.

The upstairs bedrooms can be accessed by the grand central staircase or a slim chic staircase off the kitchen. The five bedrooms are all large, light, and airy with eleven foot ceilings, soft neutral colors, unique period architectural details, and beautiful marble bathrooms. The primary bedroom is extra notable due to its special details including a painted arched niche, floating bedside tables, and modern fixtures. The primary bathroom features a custom white oak floating vanity, textured tile, an impressive large scale tile floor and decadent shower, and an original subtle stained glass window that beautifully ties in with the brass accents. The large walk in closet was thoughtfully designed with a custom organization system that keeps the bedroom free of clutter. A concealed door in the bedroom leads to an innovative pull down staircase where one can access an impressive climatized storage room.

The gorgeous in-ground saltwater pool has breathtaking views of the Cathedral of St. John, and the side yard contains a pristine garden and lovely space for entertaining. The home has ample parking for up to five cars as well as a garage. This property is aesthetically stellar in every way, both inside and out. And its walking distance proximity to lower King Street, Colonial Lake, and the Battery make it a true urban oasis.
