The iconic Stevens-Lathers antebellum mansion is a celebrated, important property in Charleston, located at the tip of the Peninsula across from White Point Garden. Recently renovated and restored, the improvements are significant and respectful of the home's architecture. Boasting stunning waterfront views of the Ashley River, Ft. Sumter, and across the Peninsula, this impressive Greek Revival double house was built in the 1840's, a very prosperous period in Charleston, by Samuel Norman Stevens. This home was considered one of the finest mansions built on the Peninsula at the time and has hosted many important gatherings of the Charleston Society from its beginning to the present day.The deep lot includes a beautiful Charleston garden overlooking the original kitchen house and mansion. Originally built as a 3-story 'Neoclassical showpiece' by Stevens, it was later converted in the 1870's by its new owner, Col. Richard Lathers, into a more grandiose residence, adding a library on the new 4th floor and a grand ballroom measuring 25 x 40, detailing the Second Empire style. Most of the 1st- and 2nd-period architecture remains in the plaster cornices, Greek Revival columns, and door surrounds decorated with Anthemia leaves. The sweeping, oval staircase with an Empire Newel post still remains. The property still exists as a residence and an 11-room fully licensed and grandfathered inn, the Battery Carriage Inn. The Stevens-Lathers House is considered a Category 1 property by the City of Charleston and awaits a new steward to live in as a residence or maintain the mixed-use with a Boutique Inn.

A Private Deep-Water Retreat on Whooping IslandThere are places on Edisto that feel wonderfully removed from the world, where the water becomes part of everyday life and privacy is measured in acres rather than fences. 8176 Rosa Scott Road is one of those rare places.Set on 10.69 acres of Whooping Island, this exceptional waterfront property offers tidal-deep water along Whooping Island Creek, expansive creek views, a private dock with boat lift, a mature fig tree orchard, a substantial barn and workshop, pond, and a beautifully designed reverse-floor-plan home that takes full advantage of its remarkable setting. Just across Edisto's concrete ribbon bridge and directly across from Dawhoo Boat Landing, the property feels peaceful and private while remaining connected to the islandInside, an open floor plan, high ceilings, dramatic vaulted spaces, plantation shudders, hurricane-rated windows, and 8-foot-tall glass doors in the water-facing rooms bring the surrounding landscape into the heart of the home. The second floor serves as the primary gathering level, with a spacious living area, beautifully appointed kitchen, dining space, and primary suite. The light-filled kitchen features quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, double ovens, a gas cooktop, high-powered vent, generous island, and ample bar seating. Open to the dining and living areas, it creates a natural gathering place for family and friends.
