A true rarity in this storied district, this newly constructed 2023 architectural jewel seamlessly blends the character of Charleston with elevated West Coast design. Crafted by acclaimed local interior designer Jenny Keenan, this residence is a curated work of art, where every inch has been thoughtfully designed and exquisitely executed with the highest level of craftsmanship. The owner previously purchased the land and historic cottage for $1,700,000 and put over $1,300,000 to complete the build.From the moment you arrive, the home's façade could be the cover of Southern Living, captivating all who walk by with its cedar shake roof, copper gutters, colorful window boxes, and Charleston brick walkway. The design, envisioned by architect Phil Clarke and brought to life by luxury builder Brett Elrod, reimagines the original cottage through a subtle yet striking addition fusing tradition with modern elegance. The result? A "California Cottage meets Southern Living" aesthetic soon to be featured in the Summer 2025 edition of RUE Magazine.
