With its proximity to the Four Corners of Law and a Limited Business zoning classification, this exquisite Pre-Revolutionary property offers a unique usage opportunity for either business, residential, or both. According to "The Buildings of Charleston" by Jonathan H. Poston, the home was built by Peter Bocquet, Jr., a wealthy deerskin trader, militia officer, and assemblyman. The three and a half story single house is of stucco over brick construction. The exterior was altered with Regency period entrances in the mid-nineteenth century. Of note are the eastern door surround's original Federal style gougework and the wrought iron balcony that is considered to be original. Also, according to Poston, the house's woodwork is noted for its extraordinary quality,and "The overmantel section of the drawing room chimneypiece is attributable to one of several English carvers working in the city in the 1760's and 1770's." Having undergone both interior and exterior renovations in the 1990's and early 2000's,the property is in mint condition and equipped with superior operational systems. The first floor is designed for business use and currently utilized for its exercise room wired for a flat screen TV and half bath. The second floor features a grand living room and formal dining room, each with fireplace, a powder room, and the gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch appliances, maple countertops, and even a gas line hookup for grilling on the balcony. Sleeping quarters are located on the third floor and include a master bedroom with sitting room and private bath plus an additional bedroom and full bath. Two large bedrooms and a bath occupy the fourth floor. Beautiful pine floors throughout with the exception of fourth floor which is carpeted. Additionally, the basement houses mechanical systems, and the property includes two off-street parking spaces.
