A gate that Charleston already knows by name
The home sits behind a famous wrought iron gate, shaped like swords, in the historic district. Towering masonry walls and mature gardens wrap the grounds in privacy. A heated pool and spa, a water feature, and a glass conservatory fill the outdoor space. A garden dining area with a wood burning fireplace sits near a centuries old magnolia tree. Three levels of piazzas look over the gardens. A two car garage and a long driveway add rare off street parking downtown.
From the listing: “Behind Charleston's most iconic wrought iron gates lies one of America's most extraordinary historic residences: the legendary Sword Gate House.”
