Overview
This classic double house offers a gracious lifestyle with magnificent finishes, both interior and exterior. Built in the Colonial Revival style, The Belvedere boasts one of Charleston's most recognizable facades with impressive semi-circular front porticoes and giant Ionic columns. Hardwood floors compliment the Adamesque woodworking in the cornices, door surrounds, and mantels. The mantels represent one of the finest collections in the city, having been brought to the home from Belvidere Plantation on the Cooper River. The first floor offers formal living, dining, and drawing rooms, as well as an office/bedroom with a full bathroom and a modern kitchen. Upstairs has 3 bedroom with private baths, once occupied by guests of the bed and breakfast which operated here for decades. Also on the second floor is access to an attached 1 or 2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, formal living room and separate exterior entrance. Listed for the first time in 25 years, 40 Rutledge is truly a one of a kind home and a magnificent property for the discerning buyer. This house is currently under contract - contingent on a home inspection.
