Designed by noted Charleston architect Randolph Martz, 57 Vanderhorst Street offers the rare combination of a newer home with the character, scale and architectural detail of historic Charleston. Prestigiously positioned along one of the most appealing stretches of Vanderhorst Street, the home enjoys a lovely outlook over neighboring gardens and handsome surrounding properties, creating an unusually picturesque setting in the heart of downtown.Thoughtfully designed and beautifully maintained, the home is filled with natural light, with soaring ceilings, reclaimed heart pine floors and distinctive architectural details throughout. Bay windows grace both the first and second floors, while a charming second-floor balcony takes full advantage of the attractive streetscape and garden views.The gracious living and dining spaces each feature working fireplaces, and the kitchen has been recently enhanced with newly installed custom cabinetry, beautifully complementing the Wolf and Bosch appliances and marble countertops. An octagonal den or dining room adds another memorable architectural element and gives the interior a sense of character rarely found in more recent construction. Outside, the home opens to an exceptionally private, established garden, shaded by mature trees and framed by flowering plantings, a bluestone patio and covered porch. The result is a peaceful and intimate outdoor retreat that feels remarkably removed from the city beyond. Ideally situated in the heart of downtown Charleston, just blocks from MUSC and within easy reach of Upper King Street, 57 Vanderhorst offers the best of both worlds: the charm and atmosphere of an older Charleston home with the comfort and convenience of more recent construction. With off-street parking for two cars, thoughtful recent improvements and a particularly appealing position on the street, this is an unusually complete downtown offering.
