Exterior of 3 King Street, a circa 1904 Charleston single house
South of Broad · Charleston, South Carolina

A Charleston
single, circa 1904

Wrought-iron gates, heart pine floors, and a private piazza — steps from White Point Garden and the Battery. Now offered for extended stays of 30 nights or more.

Welcome

"Turnkey, and truly in the heart of Charleston" — set across from White Point Garden, on one of the peninsula's most storied blocks.

Built in 1904 by engineer and College of Charleston professor Henry Frost Walker, this two-story single has been carefully restored to carry its history lightly. Wide-plank wood floors, custom built-ins, and a working fireplace sit alongside a quietly renovated kitchen and marble baths — a house that lives easily, whether for an evening or a season.

Entry

The front door opens straight onto heart pine floors and a run of built-ins — the first sense of the house's proportions and light.

Looking Back

Turn around from the living room and the entry sequence reveals itself — period-style doors, diamond-paned transom, and light from every direction.

its footprint.

The Setting

Across from White Point Garden, on the edge of the Battery.

The Battery & White Point Garden

Sweeping live oaks, harbor views, and horse-drawn carriages passing just outside the door — one of Charleston's most treasured settings, directly across the street.

South of Broad

A historic enclave of single houses and hidden gardens, on quiet streets built for walking — the harbor at one end, the shops of King Street at the other.

Dining, moments away

Sorelle and Brasserie La Banque are an easy stroll, alongside the full range of Charleston's nationally acclaimed restaurants.
