Built in the early 1700s, this two-bedroom brick home was the kitchen house of a gated property in the historic South of Broad neighborhood. The exterior is set off with gas lanterns, black shutters, and blooming camellias; the updated interiors feature wide-plank heart-pine floors, exposed beams, a brick fireplace, and French doors to a patio and walled garden.
This 1894 red-brick townhouse incorporates neoclassical details. The renovated, restored five-bedroom home has original hardwood floors, custom woodwork, hand-painted murals, a kitchen with eat-in island and walk-in pantry, a living room with marble fireplace, a top-level rec room, and a basement with guest suite.
