Overview
Located in historic Charleston in the vibrant and popular Cannonborough-Elliottborough neighborhood is 99 Spring Street, a meticulously renovated antebellum Charleston single house with custom kitchens and bathrooms, original features inside and out, and a bespoke rear ancillary building. 99 Spring boasts four unique units and is worth its weight in gold, as it is legally zoned for short term rental in a highly desirable part of the historic district. This beautiful Charleston single is dripping with quintessential southern architectural character. The facade has classical proportions, wood siding, and full return cornice below a standing seam metal roof. The Victorian piazza door has a transom window and Italianate corbels and opens onto a spacious double story piazza with wide RomanDoric columns and turned balustrades. The paneled front door leading into the house, with its square sidelights, is an archetypal feature of the Greek Revival style that was widely popular in the mid nineteenth century when the house was constructed. 99 Spring is a perfect marriage of historic ambience and modern urban living. The units in the original house feature beautiful heart pine floors, high ceilings, original trim, and mantels. Both are well lit by large historic windows and both have piazza access. Suite A's kitchen (first story) has black granite countertops, marble herringbone backsplashes, and custom cabinetry. The living room has traditional wainscoting, and the large bathroom has marble tile work and large glass wall shower. Upstairs, Suite B has four bedrooms and three bathrooms which are in the garret and have lovely city views from the dormer windows. The unit has a separate entrance, accessed by the upstairs piazza. The rear detached building was designed by Teague Studio and constructed in 2019 after passing the city's rigorous design review process with a full 13 sprinkler system. It features two units and is connected to the main house by a small breezeway. This lovely addition built by Archer Construction references the detached kitchen and carriage houses common when 99 Spring Street was first constructed. Its minimalist design aesthetic makes it a perfect balance with the neoclassical main residence. Unit C on the first floor was previously used as a law office and could continue as a small business or a studio residential unit, as it features bathrooms and a small kitchenette. Unit D on the second floor has two full bathrooms and two bedrooms, and its own entry from the courtyard area. It features wood floors, a full-service kitchen, open floor plan living area, utilities, and natural light streaming in from the west facing windows, and even has a private roof top deck! 99 Spring Street as constructed circa 1840s that has evolved with the neighborhood. In the 1890s it was home to William D. Kennedy, a ""popular and veteran conductor of the SC & GA Railroad"", followed by other members of the Kennedy family. It was rented as a duplex with owner occupants on one floor for much of the early twentieth century. Spring Street is the heart of Cannonborough-Elliottborough, which is a turn of the nineteenth century neighborhood that offers a diverse mix of businesses, restaurants, and historic residences. It is just a short walk from the nightlife of Upper King Street, on a quiet block that retains its charming residential ambiance. The four suites at 99 Spring are spacious enough to serve as full time residences or short-term rentals. X Flood Zone no flood insurance required
