8A at Saint Philip Square, One Block to King, Stylish Group Favorite
Welcome to Saint Philip Square, an award-winning collection of historic homes spanning nearly one city block of downtown Charleston. The Alexander Wilson House at 178 Unit A Saint Philip St. is a 2-bed 2-bath gem blending modern comfort with Charleston’s rich history just one block from King St. Recognized with 5 Carolopolis Awards and the SC Governor’s Award for Historic Restoration, this retreat offers a perfect location for families or groups seeking an authentic Charleston experience.
Bedroom 1: Two queen beds, large ensuite bath, wainscoting with intricate carvings, beautiful ceiling plasterwork. Bedroom 2: Queen size bed with private bathroom, natural light, delightful art.
Bathroom 1: Marble and tile bath, deluxe shower head, separate handheld shower, glass shower door. Bathroom 2: Private bath with tub/shower combination, rain shower head, large floating vanity.
Kitchen: Fully stocked, combination Keurig drip / pod combination coffee maker, all the small electronic gadgets.
Living Area: Bright with lots of natural light, sleeper sofa, and open to the kitchen.
- Landscaped parking for 1 vehicle.
This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!
Offsite Resort Amenities: - Access to The Wonderer, an exclusive adult-only resort downtown Charleston 2.6 miles away from Saint Philip Square (guests 25+ only; no one under 21 permitted at the pool). - Olympic-sized heated pool (cabana rentals available). - Gym and fitness classes (additional charges apply). - Onsite bars, restaurant, and workspaces. - Note: The Wonderer is a separate entity, and availability may vary. Book in advance for guaranteed access.
