Description

6 Saint Michael's Alley has a rich Charleston history. Built by Robert Downie, local tinsmith and metalworker, circa 1814, it was first used as offices for some of Charleston's most influential city attorneys and businessmen. It later served as tenement housing following the destruction of the Civil War. Perhaps its most notable owner was Susan Pringle Frost, who later founded the Preservation Society of Charleston. She likely transformed the property into the single-family residence it is today,...6 Saint Michael's Alley has a rich Charleston history. Built by Robert Downie, local tinsmith and metalworker, circa 1814, it was first used as offices for some of Charleston's most influential city attorneys and businessmen. It later served as tenement housing following the destruction of the Civil War. Perhaps its most notable owner was Susan Pringle Frost, who later founded the Preservation Society of Charleston. She likely transformed the property into the single-family residence it is today, making it among the first of the city's rehabilitation efforts in the early 20th century. The property was extensively renovated in 1999 by reputable T. W. Graham Restorations, preserving its historic character and charm, and it has since been meticulously maintained using the highest standards. The home provides the perfect balance between high-style city living and quaint privacy within the brick garden walls. Located on high ground, down a quiet alley just South of Broad, it is within walking distance to some of the finest restaurants, shops, and galleries in Charleston. The three-tiered formal Charleston garden can be entered through a double gate from the alley or through the French doors in the den or kitchen and is visible from most rooms within the house. The private garden has a built-in Viking grill just off the kitchen, along with an attractive outbuilding for additional storage. The interior has detailed woodwork, arched doorways, two gas fireplaces along with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances in the kitchen, further adding to its elegant appeal. A bright upstairs den is nested between the two bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and their own iron balcony overlooking the classic Charleston garden. There is room for a golf cart in the carport, as well as a deeded parking space just across the alley.
