Listing 53 Laurens Street
Built in 1815, this elegant home is a fine example of a Charleston single house in the Federal or Adamesque style. Built by ship builder James Marsh, this solid structure was constructed of imported English brick set in flemish bond and embellished with quoined corners and brick belt courses between the floors for great curb appeal. There are two wide teirs of piazzas which face west for the prevailing breeze and look back into this deep lot. Inside this three window Charleston single there is the original heart of pine floors, ornate plaster molding and wainscotting that varies from room to room, elegant marble fireplaces, and cypress doors and railings remain throughout the home with the exception of the kitchen, which was renovated in 2002 to include marble countertops and backsplash, new cabinetry, top of the line appliances including a Five Star gas stove, 2 wine coolers, Fisherpyckel double dishwasher and exposed brick. Located in Charleston’s oldest subdivision and now central part of the city, a two block walk and you are on King St., the Market, or the Aquarium and still maintain a quiet street life with minimal
tourist travel. There is also a large well maintained attached English style carriage house that offers its own address and meters. This beautiful majestic lowcountry home is a MUST SEE, you will not be disappointed.
