About this home
A rare and sophisticated Southern residence awaits at the Humphrey Sommers House, c. 1778. Situated on a quiet corner of Bedons Alley in the old walled city of Charleston, this refined 18th-century residence effortlessly marries period charm with contemporary grace. Located just steps from Charleston's sparkling waterfront, this South of Broad home sits on high ground in the X flood zone (no flood insurance required) and offers an easy Low Country lifestyle in the heart of the best historic Downtown has to offer. Walk to restaurants, bakeries, galleries, and shops from this truly convenient lock-and-leave home.
With 10-foot ceilings on the main level, the gracious entryway offers a sweeping staircase upon entry, with access to the large formal living room and dining rooms, each with inviting historic fireplaces. The expansive kitchen offers an open plan and great light with updated appliances, high-end countertops, and cabinetry. Designed for entertaining, the appliance package includes double wall ovens, a six-burner gas cooktop with grill, and a built-in bar with discreet wine fridge. A comfortable sitting area features French doors leading to a serene courtyard garden, where manicured greenery, ambient LED lighting, and historic brick walls create a tranquil outdoor escape. Blooming magnolia and lemon trees bring fragrance and color to the landscape, and there's ample room to add a plunge pool should you desire a splash of luxury. Off the kitchen are charming stairs leading to a very nice two-room guest suite with a full bath, and access to the spacious laundry room with ample storage.
Upstairs, you'll find a luxurious and spacious primary suite with a large sitting area, fireplace, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath. Dual vanities, his and hers water closets, a soaking tub, and a separate shower complete the recently renovated bathroom, and the beautiful wall of windows offers amazing morning light for starting your day. Two additional closets are perfect for linens and luggage, and multiple light and bright windows add to the appeal of this lovely suite. Across the hall, enjoy a spacious upstairs library or office, which includes its own balcony with peek-a-boo views of the harbor and charming Tradd Street.
The third floor features two large guest rooms with multiple closets, each featuring a private en-suite bath, and great light and city views. Downstairs, access to one of the two garages, directly from the kitchen, offers a convenience and a luxury unheard of in this historic section of the city, and allows for a truly turn-key, lock and leave property. With timeless architecture, lush outdoor living, and unmatched character, The Humphrey Sommers House is more than a home - it is a piece of Charleston's living history, waiting for its next chapter.
