If you are looking for a second bedroom there are two places to put one in. The story of the Crafts House began in 1859 when philanthropist, lawyer, poet, and South Carolina State Congressman William Crafts commissioned the construction of the original school building. A graduate of Harvard University and a passionate advocate for free public education, Crafts purchased the property at the corner of what is now Queen and Legare Streets and commissioned architect Edward C. Jones to design the school. Originally known as the Friend Street School, named after the street's former name, the building served as an important educational institution for the city. Tragically, during the Civil War in 1861, the original school was destroyed by fire. In 1881, architects Abrahams & Seyle were commissioned to design and construct a replacement building in the Gothic Revival style. Their design intentionally echoed the architectural character of the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist located directly across the street, creating one of Charleston's most recognizable historic streetscapes. In 1915, architect David Hyer designed a three-story addition to the rear of the building. Following this expansion, Crafts School contained 14 classrooms and accommodated more than 1,200 students, serving generations of Charleston children until the 80's. The City of Charleston sold the property in the early 1980s, and in 1986, the building was thoughtfully converted into the luxury condominium community now known as the Crafts House. HOA Amenities and Services The HOA fee includes: * Master insurance policy (walls-in coverage) * Flood insurance * Basic cable service * Water * Interior common-area cleaning four times per week * Weekly landscaping maintenance * Weekly trash removal * Access to the outdoor common area featuring a grill and dining space There are currently no special assessments. The building underwent substantial repairs and exterior painting approximately six years ago, helping to ensure the continued preservation of this exceptional historic property.

HOME SALES DATA & MORE INFO

Not all properties in the downtown Charleston area are historic, but a large number are, probably 40%. Historic homes for sale in Charleston SC come with some must-know rules prospective buyers should be aware of. Unlike in most cities where you can almost do what you want to your house after you buy it, here in Charleston’s downtown you have to be careful. The city officials and preservation society of Charleston goes to great lengths to ensure the historic and architectural integrity remains intact because tourism is the largest driver of our economy and that’s why people come here. To enjoy the history. If you purchase in downtown and want to make changes or renovations you must get ARB (architectural review board) approval first, and I even mean for roof repairs in a lot of instances. Things like the color of the paint have historical significance so you can not even just paint your house without a permit.
