Charleston's storied Victorian masterpiece reimagined to embrace history, family, and grand celebrations for the next century. Standing proudly among only ten residences along Charleston's most exclusive waterfront address, East Battery, the Drayton House remains a timeless icon of the city's architectural heritage. Once a gracious private home for one of Charleston's founding families, it has now been reborn through a meticulous and inspired remodel - one that celebrates both its rich past and a vibrant future. Every detail, from the intricate millwork to the soaring piazzas overlooking the harbor, pays homage to the elegance and endurance of Charleston's architectural heritage, with a total of over 11,000 SQFT.The Drayton House was redesigned with extraordinary living in mind. The incredible kitchen stands alone, like no other in the city, with its own walk-in refrigerator, plus a separate, hidden commercial-grade kitchen, which includes a grill, smoker, deep-fryer, and commercial dishwasher - truly a chef's dream! Step down into the Ralph Lauren inspired media room to a 163" digital wall with state-of-the-art audio which opens to a beautiful custom tiger onyx 4-sided bar to relax with family or entertain on a grand scale. Enter the glass elevator to ascend to the 2,200 SQFT primary suite level which invites you to complete tranquility and peace with luxury spa features that rival the finest homes and hotels in the world. Multiple seating areas allow for views of the Harbor and courtyard. Custom furnishings and lighting, along with an expansive spa bathroom with two grand walk-in closets.
