About South of

Broad

South of Broad, located between the Battery and Broad Street, is a historic and waterfront Charleston neighborhood with grand piazza-lined mansions and quiet garden courtyards. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along East Bay Street near Rainbow Row, where carriage tours, galleries, and waterfront promenades set a polished, walkable rhythm. The Battery and White Point Garden frame the southern edge with palmettos, cannons, and harbor views. Narrow lanes such as Church Street and Meeting Street showcase Charleston single houses, wrought-iron gates, and pastel masonry. The Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon and the Gibbes Museum of Art anchor the cultural calendar. Waterfront paths along Murray Boulevard and the nearby Charleston City Marina keep the Lowcountry landscape in view.

This grand mixed use building on Broad was constructed circa 1740 and once served as the studio space for famed sculptor Clark Mills. Multiple renovations and modifications have not taken away from the old world charm that make this building a quintessential Charleston live-work space. At the street level and second floor, there is a chic office layout that has been used by an advertising agency. The third and fourth floors house a comfortable and charming residential unit with four bedrooms and two full baths. Enjoy rooftop views of the city from the spacious upper deck! Beautiful old wood floors, exposed brick walls, and numerous other details make this unique property a wonderful place to live and operate a business.2 residential neighborhood parking passes convey with the residential unit in this building.
