This stunning, fully renovated historic home with modern amenities boasts expansive views of Colonial Lake, which is located across the street, while the rear overlooks Moultrie Playground, allowing tranquil views from every room and plentiful natural light. With its grand 11-foot ceilings and open floorplan, the home seamlessly blends traditional elegance with modern sophistication. Designed & fully renovated with high standards, this home proudly bears a historical designation marker by the Preservation Society of Charleston for its significance as the former Consulate of Cuba in America.

Original hardwood floors and mantles have been lovingly restored to preserve their historic fabric, while modern upgrades have been thoughtfully integrated throughout.The grand cased openings are accented by stunning original wood pocket-doors allow you to enclose the dining room for privacy when desired. During the studs-out renovation, all electrical, plumbing, appliances, systems, windows, hardware, fixtures, and roof, were upgraded/replaced.

The home's classical feel is enhanced by its thoughtful modern touches, including top-of-the-line appliances like a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, recessed microwave, and a wet bar with a wine fridge in the dining room. The master bathroom is a true retreat, with an oversized shower alcove and separate full tub. All bedrooms have private full bathrooms.

A generous powder room is conveniently located downstairs for guests. Enjoy the outdoors with double-piazzas, providing serene views of the lake and park. The large backyard is a private oasis, featuring a custom-designed pool and fountains, sleek patio hardscaping, and lush landscaping, making it the perfect space for entertaining or unwinding.

This home is the perfect blend of classic charm, modern luxury, and historic significance, offering a rare opportunity to live in one of Charleston's most coveted locations in Harleston Village adjacent Colonial Lake and Moultrie Playground, which features an expansive children's playground and tennis/pickleball courts.
