The brand new KITCHEN with elegant cabinetry and quartz counter is tucked away to the rear of this light-filled "great room". The marble counter with barstools is an inviting gathering space where you can visit, watch the cook or enjoy a glass of wine. The kitchen has a complete supply of dishes and cookware. We have tried to add items that would make entertaining a joy. LIVING ROOM/4TH BEDROOM To the left are double folding doors leading into the grand living room with classic fireplace. The room is furnished with 4 velvet swivel chairs on brass legs and a top of the line, beautiful sofa sleeper with gel queen mattress. In one corner, next to the fireplace, is a very clever and complete BATHROOM (2nd) with roomy marble shower with handsome glass door. Guests can use this room as a 4th bedroom with a very secure door. The great room where you enter and the well equipped kitchen complement the gracious living room along with the piazza to make a comfortable and attractive space for friends and family to mix and socialize in a typical Charleston setting. MASTER BEDROOM Off of the dining room to the right is a small but comfortable bedroom (BR 1) with queen bed, a pretty window and closet and an entrance to the BATHROOM (1) with a soaking tub/shower. This bathroom can also be entered from the entrance room so also serves as another guest/common bathroom. DORMER ROOMS Between the kitchen and the living room is a charming spiral staircase leading to two super charming DORMER ROOMS (2&3), each with their OWN BATH (2&3). These rooms have the oldest and prettiest floors of any of our properties The triple windows look over the rooftops and are a joy to experience. Each of these rooms has a King Bed with the idea that there is plenty of room for couples or singles that want the larger bed size to share. Of course the space is perfect for children but also a couple would be happy since each room has total privacy including closet space and desks. The space is under the dormers so a tall person will duck if getting in and out from the sides. The middle space in front of the window is full height. Let us know your preference so we can have it set up the way you want. Each apartment has something special but this might be our favorite. It is elegant and provides an opportunity for our guests to receive their guests as a Charlestonian would. The three apartments in this building are all separate but connect through the piazzas and provide the perfect space to be together and separate. What looks like a fun rooftop is off limits. The black tar will ruin your clothes and our blankets and is not safe. Our property manager’s office is onsite and she can help with any issues during the day. She is also available by phone and text. We are frequently onsite. However, we like to give our guests as much privacy as they want. Nested within the vibrant Cannonborough neighborhood, St. Philip Square is a collection of 6 restored historic homes with a spacious shared courtyard that span an entire city square block of downtown Charleston.    Sitting neatly between Morris and Cannon Street, St. Philip Square is one short block from the hustle, bustle, wining and dining of Charleston’s famous King Street. Idyllically situated, we are less than half a mile to Calhoun Street and a stone’s throw from South of Broad. In short, location, location, location…   With our abodes originally dating back the early 1800s, St. Philip Square was carefully, intentionally and respectfully renovated by the end of 2020. Showing remarkable reverence for local history and devotion to the Lowcountry lifestyle, our accommodations have earned 5 coveted Carolopolis Awards from The Preservation Society and the esteemed Governor’s Award.   Acquired in the early 1990’s, St. Philip Square was grandfathered into offering permitted short-term vacation rentals by the City of Charleston. A rarity across downtown, this legacy allows our guests to experience the comfort of private luxury accommodations alongside the experience of true community immersion.     With an unprecedented walk score of 96, most guests leave their cars in our spacious, protected parking area and easily stroll down to the restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries and more mere steps away from their suite.    Marrying new with nostalgia, ours is a uniquely Charleston experience. Explore our homes and suites or reserve your stay online today.      The Charleston shuttle bus stop is one block away. Walking is a great way to get to all the nearby restaurants, bars and shops. Uber and Lyft and Green Taxi are readily accessible.
