Historic RenovationCortney Bishop DesignPrivate Loggia

Own a stunning piece of reimagined history at 71 Wentworth. Residence No. 302 is a masterfully designed, turnkey home featuring interiors curated by acclaimed designer Cortney Bishop.

This two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom residence seamlessly merges historic elements--such as exposed antique brick and reclaimed heart pine timber--with modern sophistication. The remarkable home boasts numerous upgrades throughout, making it a truly unique offering in one of Charleston's most iconic buildings.

Residence 302 captivates immediately upon entry. The entrance features plaster-finished walls and ceilings, complemented by reclaimed heart pine timber and beams. The historically-replicated 14-foot windows and an exposed antique brick wall accentuate the stunning living space.

The cathedral ceilings...soar up to 25 feet, anchored by a luxury kitchen with high-end integrated appliances. On the mezzanine level, the primary bedroom suite showcases original structural beams combined with modern luxuries such as his-and-her vanities and a soaking tub enclosed in the bathroom's wet room.

An open-air, cantilevered den serves as a perfect home office or secondary living area. Additionally, an expertly crafted office nook, unique to residence 302, was created from additional space found during construction. Completing the mezzanine level is a spacious laundry room outfitted with custom cabinetry.

An owner's retreat or second bedroom, currently utilized as a well-appointed home gym, features a full array of fitness equipment and a custom wet bar. A private loggia adjacent to this space offers an open-air escape with exposed brick and soaring ceilings. Plans are available to convert this space into a bedroom suite with a full bathroom.

Inspired by its storied history and Charleston's vibrant culture, 71 Wentworth beautifully blends historic and contemporary to create a sense of place that both calms and excites. Nicknamed "The Crown of King", the building was originally designed in 1872 by the prolific Charleston architect John Henry Devereaux and reimagined 150 years later by a team of local experts with in-depth knowledge of Charleston's unique culture, history and architecture. The meticulous revitalization earned the esteemed Carolopolis Award from the Preservation Society of Charleston, honoring its architectural significance and enduring legacy.

With an enviable location at the corner of King and Wentworth streets, 71 Wentworth is just steps from Charleston's best restaurants, bars, museums, shops, galleries and historic sites. Residence No. 302 is a remarkable opportunity to own one of the most exceptional residences in Charleston, perfectly positioned to enjoy the best that the city has to offer.
