17 Anson Street · Charleston, SC 29401

This 1890s Charleston single, steeped in history and character while offering modern conveniences, is perfectly placed in the heart of downtown Charleston, steps from restaurants, cultural venues, and a full-service grocery. The owners' meticulous maintenance and renovation of the interior, exterior, and garden make it a turnkey property for anyone looking to move right in. The kitchen, renovated in late 2025, features top-of-the line appliances such as a Wolf oven and range and built-in Subzero refrigerator, complemented by custom cabinetry and counters and full-height backsplashes crafted from Italian marble. An eat-in dining area and sitting room niche overlook the private garden. Parking for golf cart available.The formal dining room and living room retain many of the original historic details of the home, such as crown moldings, hardwood floors, and working fireplaces. All elements of the ground level, inside and out, make for easy and joyful entertaining. The living room could also be used as a bedroom.

The original staircase leads to the second floor bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite is generously sized, featuring a walk-in closet and additional compact home office fitted with soundproofing material. The beautifully updated primary bath is bright and spacious, with dappled sunlight often brightening the herringbone tile floor, double-wide vanity, and custom-built shower. A second full bath, also bright and fully updated, is fitted with a tub. Light fills the home through the day, beginning with sunrises over the second bedroom and traditional double piazzas, continuing with afternoon light and natural shade from a Japanese maple in the kitchen and garden, and ending with quintessentially Charleston sunsets over Ansonborough roofscapes in the primary bedroom.

True to the home's original design, the owners have used a sitting room adjoining the primary bedroom as a bedroom, with the first-floor living room also available for use as a bedroom.
