About this home
Welcome to The Ansonborough Retreat, a fully furnished 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom condo in the Lord Anson Arms on East Bay Street, set in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in downtown Charleston. A classic arched entry with brick steps and a gas lantern welcomes you home, and an off-street parking lot sits behind a historic Charleston brick wall.
Step inside to a bright, open living area designed for easy everyday living. A plush sofa, two swivel armchairs, and a soft area rug gather around a marble-top coffee table, with a wall-mounted smart TV across the room and a vintage map of Charleston Harbor overhead. A sliding glass door with roll-down shutters fills the space with natural light and opens to your own private balcony, set up with a wicker bistro set and a cushioned loveseat behind a lush greenery privacy screen. It is the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
The kitchen is finished with white shaker cabinets, a gray subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, including a full-size refrigerator and a built-in microwave. A breakfast bar with three leather counter stools makes a natural place for quick meals or working on your laptop.
The bedroom is a calm, light-filled space with a king bed, a tufted upholstered headboard, crisp white linens, matching nightstands with lamps, and a smart TV on a full dresser. A cozy reading chair and a bookshelf stocked with Charleston titles make it easy to settle in. Wide-plank wood-look floors, a ductless mini-split for quiet climate control, and roll-down window shutters with privacy glass keep the room comfortable and dark when you want it. A dedicated vanity desk with a lighted mirror gives you a spot to get ready or work.
The bathroom is fully updated with a walk-in glass shower featuring a sliding glass door, floor-to-ceiling porcelain tile, a marble basketweave floor, a linear drain, a built-in niche, and a rain and handheld shower combo. A white vanity with a marble-look top, an LED backlit mirror, and plush white towels finish the space.
The building offers secure coded entry, an elevator, and a community swimming pool, perfect for cooling off after a day exploring the city.
A PREMIER LOCATION
Few addresses put you closer to the best of Charleston. You are in historic Ansonborough, just steps from Harris Teeter and a short walk to the Historic Charleston City Market, Waterfront Park and the Pineapple Fountain, the South Carolina Aquarium, and the shops and restaurants of King Street. Spend your evenings exploring the French Quarter, catching a show at the Dock Street Theatre, or strolling down to The Battery at sunset. The College of Charleston is about a mile away and MUSC is under two miles, making this an easy home base for students, medical professionals, and anyone relocating downtown.
