Quintessential Charleston experience at this luxurious 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath
Property Description
Step into the quintessential Charleston experience at this luxurious 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat, perfectly situated in the heart of historic Harleston Village. Just a short stroll to iconic King Street, the picturesque South of Broad neighborhood, and Colonial Lake, this exquisitely reimagined home invites you to live like a local—wrapped in Southern charm and surrounded by timeless elegance. Divide you days between exploring the city or leisurely afternoons spent around the pool.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be swept away by The Rosewater House's warm character and high-end finishes. With charming details like a custom mosaic tile entry mat plus soaring 12-foot ceilings, French & Italian antique chandeliers, and rich original hardwood floors that lend historic gravitas to this circa 1839 home, while beautifully curated interiors—renovated in 2024—offer a sophisticated blend of old-world charm and contemporary design. The bright and airy living space flows effortlessly into a central dining room with a built-in cabinetry, setting the stage for intimate dinners or lively evenings with friends.
At the heart of the home lies a designer kitchen made for culinary adventures. Outfitted with farmhouse sink, marble counters, a gas range with a vented hood, custom cabinetry, and center island that seats three, the kitchen is both stunning and functional. Just beyond, French doors invite you into your own private sanctuary: a walled courtyard with a pristine heated saltwater pool/spa combo with fountain and an abundance of comfortable outdoor furnishings—an extraordinary find in downtown Charleston. A luxe sanctuary, the rear patio showcases a landscape design that includes citrus and olive trees, as well as insect repellent plants such as rosemary and lavender.
Each of the two upstairs bedrooms offers its own private ensuite bath, designed with spa-inspired finishes including seamless glass showers and soaking tubs. The expansive primary suite is a true haven, complete with KING bed, dual vanities and soaking tub, plus a separate dressing room with custom built-ins. A convenient half bath is tucked beneath the staircase, and the home's first-floor washer and dryer make everyday living effortless.
Enjoy the added perks of off-street parking, and the unbeatable ability to walk to everything Charleston has to offer—from world-class dining and boutiques to historic parks and waterfront views. Whether you're lounging poolside, entertaining in the chef's kitchen, or taking in the city's charm one cobblestone street at a time, The Rosewater House offers an unforgettable stay in one of Charleston's most beloved neighborhoods.

If you have any questions about directions or access to the property, your concierge will be ready and waiting to assist you by phone. In addition, for properties with gate or garage access, you will be given this access code on the day of your arrival as well.
