Historic estate listed in South Carolina for $6M is a ‘natural beauty.’ Come see why
Normally, if someone is looking over photos of a historic property, especially when it comes to a single-family home, they’d be a little thrown off to see a picture of an ... elevator?
Especially inside a home that was built in the pre-Civil War era in 1850.
But this house, dubbed the Historic Charles Jugnot house, was restored in 2020, and now it’s on the real estate market in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, for $5.99 million, according to the listing on Realtor.com.
The five-bedroom, 4.5-plus-bathroom estate sits in the heart of what’s known as the historical Old Village, which is nestled on the Charleston harbor, Dunes Properties says.
In other words, the home has some pretty spectacular views.
“Immediately upon entering the gate you realize how special this property is; draped in natural beauty with a magnificent century old oak tree anchoring the lot and providing a romantic privacy, perfect for relaxation and entertaining,” the listing on Realtor says. “The original brick staircase leading to the front door makes for a grand entrance.”
You can be transported into another world when walking inside the house — one that seems to mold graciously with modern, up-to-date features that have been added in the restoration, which was done by Beau Clowney Architects, Village Restoration and Ford Boyd Interiors, the listing said.
Throughout the home’s 5,369 square feet, the elegance drips from nearly every corner, from the chef’s kitchen to the custom butler’s pantry. Other features in the home, according to Pricey Pads, include:
Library
Elevator
Outdoor seating area
Vaulted beadboard ceiling in primary bedroom
Den that can be a fifth bedroom
2,400-bottle wine cellar
Large laundry and mudroom
Gun room
Outdoor kitchen
Swimming pool
Pool house with media room
Mount Pleasant is about 85 miles southwest of Myrtle Beach.
