The garden is classic Wertimer design with "rooms" and a magical fountain. The outdoor spaces are covered by an automatic mosquito spray system for added comfort. Up the backstairs are the three bedrooms and three full en-suite baths and multiple openings to the second story piazza. Two parking spaces and space for a golf cart along the landscaped driveway add to the many advantages of this home. Limehouse Street is quiet and an easy walk to the Battery to the South, passing along the way the neighboring mansion homes at 9 and 10 Limehouse Street, both significant to Charleston's history. A stroll to the North will put the fine restaurants of Charleston easily within reach without driving. With such exquisite detail and finishes and modern conveniences, this property is an extraordinary place to call home South of Broad, Charleston.
