A rare opportunity to own a distinguished masonry Charleston Single House in the heart of historic Ansonborough. The Jonah M. Venning House, circa 1839, is an elegant residence featuring classic copper-clad piazzas, a private courtyard, and deep off-street parking, all within one of Charleston's most sought-after historic neighborhoods. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 31/2 baths, including true third-floor bedrooms, providing exceptional space and flexibility. Behind the main house are two separately metered residential units: a 2-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and a 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment, creating opportunities for guest accommodations, multigenerational living, rental income, or future integration into a larger single-family estate.As part of the celebrated Ansonborough Rehabilitation Project, the property was carefully preserved as part of Charleston's ongoing commitment to protecting its architectural heritage. A conservation easement held by the Historic Charleston Foundation further ensures the stewardship of this important historic resource.

Lovingly maintained by the current owner since 1991, the home underwent a thoughtful restoration by renowned Charleston craftsman Richard Marks Restorations, Inc. in 2003, reflecting a deep respect for its historic character and enduring quality.
