The Julius M. Visanska House. Built by notable Charleston architect Albert Simons, this fine 'double house' offers incredible Harbor and Fort Sumter views. One of ten 'estate' properties overlooking the Historic Waterfront. This recently renovated brick home is sited on generous grounds with two main levels above a basement level. The grand center hall entry is flanked by handsome formal rooms, both with Harbor Views. The spacious drawing and dining rooms both open to a large piazza. The kitchen/den overlooks the rear garden pool area, all new custom cabinets, stone finishes, separate butler pantry, and elevator are just a few features recently incorporated into this space. The handsome staircase leads to the 2nd level center hall. This level features an orchid room overlooking the Harbor and two spacious guest bedrooms, both with luxurious baths. One overlooks the harbor, one the garden and pool. The spectacular Master Suite offers fabulous views of the harbor and access to the second level piazza. The lavish master bath singularly encompasses the original Master bedroom. All top of the line fixtures and finishes. There is a separate laundry and elevator on this level. The ground level was also recently upgraded to offer two spacious bedrooms, two baths, and den/workout area. All systems including HVAC on all three levels were replaced during renovation. Separate garage at the rear of the garden conveys ""as is"" condition. (Not included in the sq. ft.) No conservation easements have been taken.
