Property Description

Like stepping onto a Slim Aarons set, 42 South Battery, also known as the Robert Murray House is a must see! Built in 1802 & prestigiously located at the corner of King & S Battery, with views of White Point Gardens, the Battery & Charleston Harbor.This iconic estate boasts historically significant gardens designed by Loutrel Briggs which were restored in 2021, with new hardscaping & irrigation added. The crown jewel of the majestic gardens is a round plunge pool surrounded by towering palm trees & hedges. The beautiful grounds are large enough to host a party fit for the Great Gatsby!The original architectural features have been remarkably retained with preserved period details such as heart pine floors, moldings & Adams mantels.This home was extensively renovated in 2024-2025, adding exquisite curated interiors to match the exterior beauty. Notable features include: an elevator to 3 floors, a heated & cooled 4th floor room was added for storage or playroom (hence the additional square footage from previous listings), exterior paint changed from yellow to pink, all new custom baths, kitchen, custom cabinetry, custom closet designs in every bedroom, tankless water heater added, interior completely repainted, double wraparound piazzas, large separate wine fridge, flex space off of the living room was repurposed to potentially be used as an extra bedroom, if not used as an office. In addition, the roof was recoated in 2025. Custom draperies & all light fixtures to convey with sale. The seller is also willing to sell the custom painted grand piano in the living room.

The 2nd floor is currently entirely dedicated to the primary suite, however it could be reverted to its original use of 2 bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own en suite bath & each custom designed in differing unique & notable styles. In addition, the 3 main bedrooms all have fireplaces.

This gated estate boasts room for parking approximately 5-6 cars depending upon size, still leaving ample room for outdoor entertaining & enjoyment.

Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own & enjoy a legacy estate for years to come!
