Built circa 1733, 73 Church Street is one of the earliest surviving residences in Charleston - meticulously renovated with a private walled courtyard and garage, just steps from the Battery and Broad Street. Historically known as the Thomas Dale House, the property is believed to have been given by Miles Brewton to his daughter Mary upon her marriage to Dr. Thomas Dale. Originally two stories, the home has evolved over nearly three centuries into its current three-floor plan totaling approximately 2,936 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. The house opens through a central stair hall with a graceful staircase and tall ceilings, setting the tone for the historic scale that carries throughout the home. The first floor features formal living and dining rooms with original fireplaces and built-ins that flow into an updated eat-in kitchen - Calacatta Gold marble, high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and classic black-and-white tile - with sightlines through to the courtyard garden. The second floor offers double parlors with fireplaces and built-in bookshelves, filled with natural light from windows on multiple sides, along with two guest bedrooms, each with a thoughtfully renovated en suite bath featuring marble console vanities and glass mosaic tile showers.

The renovation was both thoughtful and substantive, including a standing seam copper roof, utile woodwork throughout - doors, cabinetry, and trim, multiple original fireplaces preserved, plantation shutters throughout, iron stair spindles and Generac generator. Every bathroom has been carefully updated. The result is a historic home that retains its architectural character while living comfortably today. Behind the house is a brick-paved walled courtyard garden centered on a fountain, with mature landscaping, irrigation, space for outdoor dining, and a gas line for grilling - an outdoor room as much as a garden. Within the property sits the garage, a genuine rarity on Church Street South of Broad.

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.
