Overview
Current owners purchased property in 2005 for $1,649,000 and have since spent $150,000 for improvements and the addition of the conservatory overlooking the garden (total of $1,799,000). Sheltered by one of Downtown Charleston's most beautiful Live Oaks, The George Gibbs house looks very much as it did when it was re built circa 1801. Within its walls are the remnants of the much older pre-Revolutionary structure that was burned in the fires of 1740 and 1778. Like many of the Historic houses of Charleston, 20 Elliott St. was saved from ruin by pioneer conservationists in the late 30's and 40's. In 2005 it was again completely modernized with all new plumbing, wiring, heating and Air conditioning, all while retaining its historic integrity and appearance. The house is approximately 2750 Sq ft, has 3 bedrooms with en suite baths and a first floor powder room. The dining room connects via pocket doors to a garden conservatory lit by a skylight. The second floor drawing room and its adjacent library provide an unusually large entertaining space where parties for 40 can be handled with ease. The drawing room also has a built-in bar with a refrigerator/icemaker. The amenities include a DCS profession range and microwave, built-in SubZero refrigerator, a whirlpool tub in the master bath, a wall mount and wiring capable of accommodating a large flat panel TV, a fire/security system, a professionally lit garden with an automatic watering system, and a SubZero wine storage closet capable of holding 11 cases. The house offers every amenity, is in ""move-in"" condition, and can serve as a main residence or a ""lock and leave"" getaway to the charms of Charleston. Chandelier & sconces in Dining room do not convey. Property is also currently for lease. Right of Way Easement.
