Overview

Description

Circa 1830, the Captain Benjamin Smith house, who also constructed the home to the left at 1 Atlantic. Smith, a ship builder and craftsman, uniquely turned both homes to face the street, instead of the typical Charleston Single style and manner of placing the side facing the street. Notable craftsmanship throughout, this fine home offers recent updates with its charming kitchen and breakfast room overlooking the rear garden, to the chic primary suite on the second level. The grand third level bedroom could be used as a second primary room if desired. 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths total. The rear piazzas offer privacy, great for entertaining or dining alfresco.

Supplements: Noted Charleston artist Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, a founder of the Charleston Etchers' Club and leading exponent of the fledgling historic preservation movement, maintained a studio and residence at 3 Atlantic Street.
