A historic home in the South of Broad area of Charleston with many original 18th century features has sold for $3.2 million. The property hit the market in February for $5 million and is last recording selling in 2017 for $2.45 million. The 4,389 square foot residence was built in 1793 and has been updated with a new roof & new wiring, heating, air conditional as well as duct work. The downstairs dining room features extremely rare indigo dyed cypress paneling and still has its original fireplace. Old and new juxtapose seamlessly in the kitchen, which has floor to ceiling custom cabinets designed by master contractor David Hoffman, a restored fireplace and brass fixtures. Downstairs also features coral pavers and a fully installed privacy garden using original bricks found in the cellar.

A downstairs floating staircase, designed by renowned architect Simons Young, is accented by reclaimed wood from the home’s original heart of pine floor boards. Unique to this property is the enclosure of the arched entryway, originally completed in 1947. This formerly open passage now seamlessly connects the home’s kitchen, garden and living areas. The second floor ballroom is a showpiece of the home. With high ceilings and ample natural light, this room impresses with its original fireplace and David Hoffman designed shutters. The master bedroom has a delightful antique fireplace and the property’s third floor can be enclosed for an additional bedroom or walk-in closet. All bathrooms at 22 Elliott have marble slabs or tiles.

The powder room additionally contains beautiful imported Spanish tiles. An addition added by Simons Young during the current renovation opens the property to a pristine garden designed by Charleston landscape architect Glen Gardener. Some windows have been completely rebuilt. Hurricane-proof French doors add fortification to the back of the property, while high-end paint from Donald Kaufman, Farrow and Ball, and Ellen Kaenon beautify the inside of it. This historic South of Broad home was on the market for $4.35 million with John Dunnan of Handsome Properties, Inc.
