South of Broad- Charleston Real Estate

Discover Charleston SC South of Broad homes for sale in downtown Charleston.

For centuries,  historic peninsular Charleston’s most desirable and distinctive address has been South of Broad Street. It was in these grand old homes that George Washington slept, Robert E. Lee dined,  and Teddy Roosevelt  socialized.  From these same magnificent piazzas,  Charlestonians watched  the firing on Fort Sumter that began the Civil War, and today host grand soirees for the internationally-acclaimed Spoleto Arts Festival.

The scale of stunning historic architecture  throughout the South of Broad area sets it apart from any city in North America.  Regal Georgian gables and paneling,  detailed Adamesque staircases and moldings, ornamented Greek Revival  columns and parapets,  elaborate Italianate  arches and cornices,  and decorative  Victorian  turrets and chimneys  sweep the South of Broad area with a graceful diversity of classic styles.

Flanked by moss-laden oaks and sculpted gardens, the picturesque street scenes South of Broad display an unmatched  timelessness etched into an intricate blend of wrought iron gates,  slate sidewalks and cobblestone pavement.

Each block offers a sensory splendor, as bells of colonial church steeples blend with the sounds of horse-drawn carriages and restless Carolina wrens.  Spring, summer, fall and winter  all boast flowering plants and trees South of Broad, as the air sweetens with jasmine, magnolia, tea olive,  and seasons brighten with banks of camellia, azalea and  rose.

For the prospective homeowner ,  South of Broad’s value is incomparable as an investment or a prestigious address. Properties here are the rarest of the rare jewel  that is historic Charleston,  and feature some of America’s most famous houses and gardens and  some of the East coast’s most stunning views.
