Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) The kitchen offers generous prep space and is ideally positioned adjacent to the garage, presenting a compelling opportunity to expand and create a more open, integrated living environment if desired (pending approvals). A charming powder room, adorned with a custom mural by Katherine Barnwell, adds a distinctive artistic touch. Upstairs, the primary level is filled with natural light and offers a spacious bedroom suite complemented by a comfortable sitting room, ample storage, and a well-proportioned bath. Working fireplaces continue on this level, reinforcing the home's historic character. Just beyond, a striking double-height library with rich mahogany woodwork and custom built-ins creates a dramatic and memorable focal point--an architectural feature rarely found. The elevator provides convenient access to this level and above, enhancing livability across all primary floors. Custom ironwork in both the kitchen and library by Rick Avrett further elevates the craftsmanship throughout. The third and fourth floors offer generous guest accommodations, with three additional bedrooms, shared baths, and unique vantage points overlooking the upper galleries of the library below. Connected via the garage, a private guest house offers two bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, embodying classic carriage house architecture and providing ideal separation for guests, extended family, or flexible use. The grounds are truly exceptional--award-winning gardens that have been meticulously maintained by the same master gardener's family for over three decades. Lush, layered, and thoughtfully designed, the outdoor spaces are as compelling as the interiors and offer a rare sense of privacy and tranquility in the heart of the city. A property of this scale, provenance, and potential--complete with garage, guest house, and extraordinary gardens--is an increasingly rare offering South of Broad. 54 King Street presents a unique opportunity to honor its rich history while creating a bespoke residence tailored to modern living.
