Baker House ownership includes valuable downtown conveniences including 2 off-street parking spots, bicycle storage, and a secured storage locker. The building's comprehensive monthly regime supports the care and maintenance of the landmark building, offering a simplified ownership experience.
Baker House sits directly across from Colonial Lake, providing access to its park, gardens, and walking/jogging paths. Beloved by Charlestonians for generations, Colonial Lake has been described as a "serene oasis nestled in the heart of Charleston" (Agoda travel guide) and a "treasure for us all" (Charleston Magazine). Residents gather here year-round for morning walks, evening strolls, dog walking, picnics, and some of the most picturesque views in the Historic District. A landmark $5.9 million restoration was completed in 2016, with an additional garden revitalization undertaken in 2025, ensuring the park remains one of Charleston's most beautiful and thoughtfully maintained public spaces. Today, the picturesque park is surrounded by grand old homes and attracts families, dog walkers, joggers, and visitors.
Right behind the building is Moultrie Playground, with public tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts, a playground, and batting cages. These facilities make the area popular with families, outdoor enthusiasts, and fitness buffs alike. In the same block, you can walk to the shops and restaurants in The Jasper.
Harleston Village is one of the most walkable areas of the city. Broad Street, King Street, MUSC, the College of Charleston, and some of the city's best dining and shopping are all within easy reach. For the buyer seeking a distinctive Charleston residence with history, views, parking, and location, 55 Ashley Avenue 23 offers a compelling alternative to both newer amenity buildings and higher-maintenance downtown homes.
