The Cleland-Wells House was constructed in1760 by Dr. William Cleland for his son. After William’s death, the house passed to Robert Wells; he and his son ran a newspaper from the home cellar known as the South Carolina and American General Gazette. This mid-Georgian masonry home is considered “Valuable to City” and is a handsome, well-renovated Charleston Single with double piazzas and a stucco-over-brick façade. The architectural detail includes period panel work, original wide plank floors, a lovely staircase, and exquisite moldings. The property has been beautifully renovated to include a stunning kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, such as an AGA stove, two SubZero refrigerators and freezers, hammered-edge limestone flooring, and custom cabinetry. The kitchen and adjacent family room, with an exposed brick fireplace, open to the charming private courtyard through three sets of beautiful French doors. This Charleston Single is extremely livable with all of the public rooms on the first floor. All the bathrooms have been renovated, and the master suite, complete with a large custom closet, is conveniently positioned across the hall from the second floor library with a fireplace. This turn-key home could serve a client well as a single family home or a second home. A 2 car parking garage located across the street at 63 ½ Tradd is also available for sale separately, and has a separate tax map number (please see agent for details).
