Indoor -
Summons the expression of truly refined Ante-Bellum experience with all modern amenities. In the kitchen enjoy the timeless La CornueFe gas oven and cooktop range from Saint-Ouen l'Aumone, France served by a whisper quiet, made in the USA Vent-a-hood. Here you can celebrate the glorious culinary traditions of the Old World using only top-of-the-line All-Clad cookware and utensils. Stemless red and white wine glasses were not overlooked. All coffee mugs, and glasses are made of clear insulated glass along with the serving plates, salad plates and bowls so rest assured every item is sparkling. Tidy up after a meal using the stainless bridge faucet in the farmhouse porcelain sink. All items are stored using efficient Rev-a-shelf hardware to house the spices, cutlery, flatware and accessories. Of course, the cabinetry ,kitchen island and 8 foot tall barn doors are hand made on-site using only heart pine sourced during the renovation of the house, from the house.

Crystal-clear Samsung high-definition 4k smart television with Xfinity cable. Netflix, Amazon video, and Hulu are intuitively available at the touch of the remote and are complimentary.

The bathroom is tiled using the original re-purposed slate from Vermont dating back to when the house was built by shipwrights in 1851. The original standing-seam tin front porch roofing was salvaged and is applied to the wall as the backsplash to the hand-made heart pine vanity with hand-hammered nickel-plated vessel sink. The bathroom features a slate-tiled walk-in shower with Kohler rain-head showers. The water closets were sourced from Kent, England to provide a period feel from the Old-World.

In every bedroom, we provide you with a sound machine as well as smart-charging stations for your electronic devices. Enjoy the combination of cypress ship-lap wood walls and heart pine throughout. Most, if not all, heart pine material used dates back to approximately the year 1600.

Outdoor-
Remember that before the advent of air conditioning, Charlestonian's tended to congregate on their porches to socialize and spend time to enjoy a cool sea breeze. There are rocking chairs on the porch making it a great place to relax with a book while watching the happenings on Cannon Street. But you do not have to settle for just one porch.. you have a rear porch and a shared patio to enjoy as well. The patio has a lounge chair sofa with a Big Green Egg grill with all utensils and charcoal provided.

Guest Access:
We are three blocks from King Street. Cannon Street dead ends into King where you would be right in the middle of all the activity - many nice restaurants such as The Darling, the Grocery, Ordinary, Endaco, good places to have drinks like Stars, the Belmont, Midtown, Prohibition. There are also great niche restaurants closer than King Street. Pick the experience - fine dining to relaxed outdoor dining, it is here. You could look up Hominy Grill, Chez Nous, Trattoria Lucca, Fuel, Goulette. Since Cannon Street (and Spring Street) are the only legal areas in the city to host an AirBnb in Charleston, you will be in good company here.

The Neighborhood:
Cannonborough is an inviting downtown neighborhood in the center of the historic peninsula that blends boutique eateries, bespoke shops, and Charleston's historic architecture. Walk to King Street to enjoy some of the area's top dining and shopping with exceptional food, entertainment and sight-seeing.

Getting Around:
There is plenty to see and places to visit within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are very common. You will not face any delay catching an uber.

Other Things to Note:
If you want the full Charleston experience you need to sign up for a walking tour or carriage tour, a must. If you have sea legs and are aiming for total immersion into history, the steamboat runs to Ft. Sumter several times daily so that you can land your two feet exactly where the Civil War started.

We are available for questions and we're glad to assist in any way we can.
