This rare downtown sanctuary provides a resort-style experience with a fully private outdoor oasis in the heart of Harleston Village. Constructed in the mid-1830s, this Greek Revival-style residence--known in historic records as the Corbett-Irving House--reflects the timeless appeal of Harleston Village architecture while living beautifully for today. Expertly reimagined by Eddie Fava, a Charleston-based architect known for Historic preservation and expertly designed by Lauren Sanchez Design Ltd., this renovated Charleston home pairs architectural integrity with a serene, designer-driven interior. Every detail was selected to feel timeless,layered, and quietly luxurious. Sunlight fills the interiors, enhanced by twelve-foot high ceilings and generous windows, while a dramatic steel-framed wall of glass at the rear of the home creates a stunning connection to the garden and courtyard beyond. The main level is designed for both everyday comfort and elegant entertaining, featuring a grand foyer, a welcoming living room, and a kitchen with a large island, fireplace, and bar. A butler's pantry adds effortless function for hosting and storage. A glass-back breakfast roomperfect for casual meals and morning coffeeoverlooks the landscaped outdoor spaces, while a formal dining room provides a timeless setting for gatherings. A dedicated study/office offers privacy and flexibility for work-from-home or a quiet retreat, and a chic half bath is conveniently located for guests. Upstairs, the main house offers three spacious bedrooms. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with multiple closets for ample storage, a private office, and a generous en-suite bath featuring a dual vanity, tiled shower, and soaking tub.
