About This Home
As of November 2023Welcome to the stunning 12 Franklin Street, located one block north of Broad Street and walkable to some of the city's most beautiful destinations. This fully-restored circa 1850 Italianate-style Charleston single boasts original moldings, impressively high ceilings, and spacious outdoor spaces. It was noted by the Historic Charleston Foundation to be ''an excellent example of a masonry Charleston town house of the mid-nineteenth century. It retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling association, and contributes to the significance of the Charleston Historic District.'' The bright kitchen includes a Subzero refrigerator, La Cornue range with custom hood, Subzero wine refrigerator and Asko dishwasher.An upholstered wall in the hall and wet bar area flows into the custom carved lattice work on the staircase wall, which complement the historical stained glass windows, blending modern textures with tradition. Custom mahogany half-shutters on the lower level lend privacy to the spacious living room, fitted with one of three gas fireplaces on the first level. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms each with full baths ensuite and access to the spacious upper piazza.
12 Franklin sits on a large lot, includes off street parking for 2 cars and a large and private professionally landscaped garden which includes custom lighting and updated irrigation throughout, managed digitally. The carriage house underwent a full renovation in 2022 to become the ultimate media room, fit with custom mahogany doors and windows, built-in cabinetry, white oak flooring, and a full bath with a marble shower. This addition can easily be adapted to a sizable guest house.
