Remarks
Built in 1790, the Dubose Heyward house combines two post-revolutionary houses into a single unit. This impeccably renovated home has been transformed into a true Charleston retreat with private courtyard, salt water pool, and recently detached guest house. The main house is comprised of three bedrooms, and four and a half baths. The redesigned floorplan provides spacious entertaining rooms complemented by exquisite architectural details and French doors that open to the courtyard in almost every room. A few other notable features include six working fireplaces each with relined chimneys, a newly pitched roof in the kitchen and family room, and hardwood floors throughout. The newly detached guest house overlooks the breathtaking courtyard and provides visitors with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, living room, and kitchenette. 78 Church Street is filled with Charleston charm and is designated as a National Historic Landmark. Dubose Heyward wrote the novel Porgy that later became the play Porgy and Bess. George and Ira Gershwin were frequent visitors. The Charleston renaissance artist, Alfred Hutty, also owned this home. History claims that George Washington gave a speech from the balcony during his visit to Charleston after the Revolutionary War. It is a true Charleston treasure that is a must see to appreciate its history and elegance.Sale Info
