the Richard Reynolds House was originally built in the 1850's and has a rich history with many original details thoughtfully preserved. Wide plank original heart pine floors stretch throughout the entire home and historical touches such as detailed crown moldings, ornate door frames, elegant chandeliers, original fireplaces and original window panes adorn the home. The grand entrance off of Legare Street leads into the central foyer which has a stunning spiral staircase with wood and wrought iron detailing leading all the way up to the fourth floor. A catering kitchen is found on this first floor along with a bedroom suite, family room and wine room. Period brick accents the wall in the family room and the wine room is sure to impress with a built-in mahogany wine chest and a separate wine closet. Extending from this space is the pristine Charleston rose garden. Warm brick dots the grounds while perfectly manicured rose beds and hedges lead to a central fountain evoking a peaceful and private ambiance. The second floor of the home houses the formal rooms--including a formal living room and a formal dining room with soaring ceilings, ornate moldings and French door access to the full side porch overlooking the Charleston garden. This space has a rich history of entertaining and played host to the first ball after the end of the Civil War. A chef's kitchen is also located on this floor with granite counters, stainless appliances and a Shakespearean balcony peering out over the branches of tall magnolia trees. The home's four additional bedrooms suites are located on the third and fourth floors. Decorative fireplaces, rich hardwood floors, large closets and private access to either the third story porch or fourth story sunning deck define these rooms. From the sunning deck, you can take in 180-degree view of Charleston rooftops and catch glimpses of the nearby harbor. Within walking distance are the city's most renowned restaurants, art galleries and shops along with the historic Battery, White Point Gardens and Waterfront Park. A historic home of caliber and level of finish does not come on the market often and you will delight in its spacious interior, prime South of Broad location, charming outdoor living spaces and the abundance of historical details.
