Overview

Description

Located on High Battery, with sweeping and uninterrupted views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter, sits one of the grandest homes in the city, the John Ravenel House. This historic residence, circa 1848, is one of Charleston’s most recognized homes and was recently reimagined during a multi-year renovation. Rebuilt after the 1886 earthquake, the stuccoed brick home showcases stunning Italianate entablature and lintels, creating an instantly recognizable facade. Inside, the spacious, three-story home retains beautifully preserved details including period fixtures, original mantles, hardwood floors, restored moldings and door surrounds, and ceiling medallions that are historically inspired re-creations.

Supplements: Large formal rooms and generous bedroom suites create an inviting layout for everyday living and unparalleled entertaining. The private walled grounds are equally spectacular, featuring formal gardens designed by Perry Guillot who revamped the Rose Garden at the White House, a private pool and spa, and lush landscaping that creates an oasis of beau
