Overview

Located in downtown Charleston's coveted French Quarter District, on one of the few original cobblestone streets, Chalmers Street. This property is Charleston's most painted and photographed home, known as the Charleston Pink House, and is ready to be restored into a two bedroom residence or commercial/residential space. This home, believed to be one of the oldest in the Holy City, stands alone in its unequalled charm and historic significance. Owned by the same family for more than 50 years, The Pink House has been a residence, brothel, law office and art gallery throughout the centuries. It is believed to be the second oldest masonry residence in America dating back to 1694 and constructed of eighteen inch thick pink Bermuda stone. With a beautiful walled garden, designed by legendary landscape architect Loutrel Briggs, the Pink House can easily be transformed into Charleston's most talked about turn-key pied-a-terre. The location is breathtaking and within walking distance to everything downtown Charleston has to offer. This is a one of a kind opportunity to own a priceless piece of Charleston history.
