The culmination of Luxury Finishes and Rich History creates the extraordinary opportunity that is 171 Broad. This breathtaking 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom Charleston Single spans over 2900 square feet and is nestled on one of the largest lots South of Broad. No expense was spared during the meticulous renovation of this stunning 1870s home, where special care was taken to preserve the historic craftsmanship while infusing a bold design that showcases each exquisite detail, transforming this property into a true work of art. Professionally raised, it includes a Helix Underground Pier System--similar to those found beneath beachfront homes--with pilings driving approximately 75 feet into the ground. During the elevation process, profound attention was dedicated to ensuring the home remainedlevel. Throughout the grounds and beneath the home, several sump pump systems efficiently push water back out to the road, safeguarding the entire property. Within the home, bespoke paint colors and wallpapers collaborate to craft a luxurious masterpiece. Renowned creators like Farrow and Ball, Thibaut, and Schumacher contribute to the dramatic wall coverings that flow seamlessly throughout the space. As you enter, you are welcomed by soaring ceilings and captivating views that stretch from one end of the home to the other. The foyer's wallpaper serves as the inspiration for the entire residence, resulting in a harmoniously cohesive design. The Missoni Carpet Runner on the staircase draws you into this masterpiece of a home. The cozy front living room bathes in natural light and offers delightful views of Broad Street. A formal dining room with built-in cabinetry sets the stage for your entertaining, or the perfect space for your Grand Piano, and grants access to the heart of the home. The beautifully designed kitchen boasts an abundance of counter space, generous storage, gourmet GE Cafe Appliances, and a built-in commercial grade La Marcozzo espresso machine. The striking wallpaper harmonizes beautifully with the chandeliers, bold cabinetry, and solid quartz countertops. A rare gem among historic homes, 171 Broad features a convenient downstairs suite an ideal retreat at the rear of the home, complete with a private sitting room, two closets, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, private laundry, and a king-sized bedroom that overlooks the tranquil backyard. Both the living room and bedroom of this suite are adorned with custom wool carpet rugs, providing a touch of warmth and comfort. Ascend upstairs to discover a thoughtful configuration of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, accompanied by a media room. Another laundry space on this floor adds to the convenience. The area currently designated as the primary suite wing features multiple closets, including a walk-in closet for shoes. The newly renovated primary bathroom showcases Nero Marble flooring, a window pane design walk-in shower adorned with green tile, and a stunning Perigold Woodstock wallpaper. You will also enjoy your own private screened porch offering year round comfort and picturesque views of the backyard. Notably, 171 Broad boasts 4 working fireplaces, a rarity in homes of this age.
