History abounds in this exceptional residence, located in the heart of Charleston's coveted South of Broad neighborhood. Tucked behind one of the city's oldest surviving homes, the Jacob Motte House, this former dependency sits on land that once formed part of The Grand Model, the original fortified boundaries of Charleston's walled city.

Views of Charleston's iconic landmarks, including the chimneys and steeples of St. Michael's and First Scots, can be enjoyed from both the interior and the courtyard, underscoring the home's unmistakable Lowcountry allure.
