Overview
A fabulous, fully restored 18th century home South of Broad, 54 Tradd is a premier example of tastefully updated historic Charleston elegance and style in the city's most sought after location. A very fine example of early single house design and construction, it features original interior woodwork, and is protected by an Historic Charleston Foundation faade easement. The stucco over brick structure was built c.1740 for the William Vanderhorst family and restored in the 1900s by Preservation Society founder Susan Pringle Frost. The architecturally distinctive ""hyphen"" connecting the main house with the kitchen dependency was constructed in the 1990s. It has a light filled chef's kitchen and butler's pantry on the first floor, an expansive master bath (with stacked washer/dryer) on thesecond floor, and a roof top deck with fantastic views on the third floor. The imposing four story main house retains its original floor plan with a large living room, dining room and gracious entry hall with powder room on the first floor. Above the living room on the second floor, the comfortably furnished library has custom bookcases, a large fireplace with gas logs, and a balcony overlooking Tradd Street. Across the hall is the spacious, elegant master suite with multiple closets. On the third floor are two large bedrooms and a bath. The fourth floor has a cozy guest suite with bath and a laundry room. The charming original kitchen dependency has an inviting family room with dining area, and doors to the parking court on Ropemakers Lane. It has brick walls and floor and ceiling with exposed beams. The original large fireplace has gas logs. Stairs lead up to an amazing light filled story and a half study/office with guest bedroom and bath.*The iconic faade, often depicted by noted Charleston artists, has a center front door that is an integral part of the distinguished history of the home. On the left side is an imposing iron gate that opens to a brick walk leading to the main entry of the home and to a spacious walled courtyard garden. At the rear of the property is the large parking court at the end of Ropemakers Lane off of Meeting Street. Maintained and improved at the highest standards by the present owners, great attention has been given to refined and elegant interior and exterior details including custom woodwork.
