About This Property

Steeped in Charleston's architectural legacy and ideally positioned overlooking Colonial Lake, this refined studio residence within the iconic Berkeley Court offers an exceptional blend of historic character and thoughtful updates. Originally constructed in the early 1920s in the elegant Beaux Arts style, the building reflects a bygone era of craftsmanship, while the residence itself delivers a sophisticated, low-maintenance lifestyle in one of downtown Charleston's most picturesque settings. Inside, timeless details such as hardwood flooring, classic tilework, and soaring ceilings create an airy, light-filled retreat, complemented by an updated kitchen with modern finishes designed for both style and efficiency. Positioned on the second floor, the unit enjoys tranquil views of tree-linedsurroundings and the architectural charm that defines this storied neighborhood.

Beyond the residence, Berkeley Court has recently undergone a series of meaningful capital improvements, enhancing both aesthetics and long-term value. A new roof and exterior windowsill replacements were completed in 2024, followed by comprehensive exterior and interior painting in 2025. The second-floor hallway has been refreshed with new carpet, and the building's original elevator is currently being restored to operation, preserving its historic character while improving functionality. Additionally, the HVAC window unit for this residence was replaced in August 2025, offering added comfort and efficiency. With close proximity to Charleston's renowned dining, culture, and waterfront lifestyle, this property presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while enjoying the ease of modern living in one of the city's most coveted locations. Laundry Services (Pay-By-App) and Bike Storage in the Basement, Secured Access. Rentals min 90 Days.

Berkeley Court Apartments: Originally constructed in 1922, Berkeley Court at 63 Rutledge Avenue stands as one of downtown Charleston's rare examples of early 20th-century Art Deco-influenced architecture, offering a distinctive contrast to the city's more traditional historic styles. Designed during a period of growth and modernization, the building features a brick veneer exterior (later stuccoed) and was developed alongside its "sister" property, the Fort Sumter Hotel, reflecting a cohesive architectural vision of the era. Over time, Berkeley Court transitioned from its original use into individually owned residences in the 1970s, preserving its historic character while adapting to modern living. Ideally positioned across from Colonial Lake in the heart of Harleston Village, the property combines architectural significance with one of Charleston's most iconic and walkable waterfront settings.
