At 68 Church Street, within the boundaries of the original walled city of Charleston, we’re building a home of handsome romance, worthy of sonnets. Wrapped in a centuries-old garden wall, the sparkling new 4,800-square-foot residence includes an enchanting front garden with swirling gates and fountain, and a private driveway entrance at the rear - complete with double garage. And, as if in a storybook, there are tiered Juliet balconies, secret garden spaces, and the most sumptuous spa-level bath in all of Charleston. Building on the footprint of a prior residence at the rear of the lot created the opportunity for the home’s most defining features… 68 Church has a pedestrian entrance from Church Street and a private driveway from Longitude Lane. Iron gates and walls of stucco and brick enclose two gardens – a deep, terraced front garden with a fountain wall as its centerpiece, and a “secret” courtyard garden with custom-forged Juliet balconies above. Building anew on a historic street that treasures gardens gave architect Sandy Byers and designer Paola Thomas the enviable opportunity to fully integrate the interior and garden spaces. Instead of stepping directly from Church Street into the house, the front garden becomes an entry room – with ascending stone terraces to the front door, past a fountain wall. Inside, enchanting features include a gourmet kitchen and butlery with top-tier appliances, Italian marble countertops and custom-milled mahogany cabinets. A private, upstairs media room is accessed by its own staircase. And baths fit for a princess – or a prince – may be had in a tub set on railway beams, overlooking the garden courtyard below.
