35 Tradd is one of just a handful of pre-Revolutionary War homes built inside the old walled city limits. Circa 1730 the original structure was built on ''high ground'' by Colonel Miles Brewton. By c.1747 he constructed another building next door for his wife and the two became a single residence when they were restored in the 1920's by Marie Easton, a colleague of preservationist pioneer Susan Pringle Frost.

The current owners have devoted their attention and energy to the revitalization of the authentic appearance and the systems of the home. They restored the original colors and details to the exterior including re-painting it, crafting a new front door and hardware as well as new shutters with heart shaped cut-outs, and a Charleston gas lantern. They replaced the roof with black Ludowici tiles and seamed copper, and restored the four chimneys. The owners also added exterior custom period lighting to accent the garden, the vintage brick wall, and the walkways. The giant Elm tree in the back courtyard is said to be the oldest existing Elm South of Broad.(See "Documents" for more detail about the home and its renovations and improvements.) Upstairs are three bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, as well as a gathering or sitting room with fireplace that is currently being used as as office. The primary bedroom suite privately occupies the entire front of the house and is large and light filled from the five windows that wrap around the room. A sitting area and fireplace are centered at the end of the room. A rare opportunity to own this historic home on one of Charleston's best known streets and without flooding issues.
