If you’ve ever been to Charleston, the architecture that sticks in your mind likely involves bricks, columns, or pastel colors. A bit immune to design trends, the historic downtown homes of Charleston usually a vision of traditional grandeur. However, a modern home that breaks the mold just listed right on Murray Boulevard for $13.5 million.
This waterfront three-story haven is ideal for a buyer who embraces the cleaner, more minimalist home style of today and wants plenty of space. The white stucco exterior mixes seamlessly with black windows, almost exuding more of an L.A. or Dallas vibe. Once inside the 6,755-square-foot modern, sleek lines, angular light fixtures, and marble panels continue to imbue a suave feel.
The kitchen is the star of the main floor, anchored by a waterfall quartz countertop and outfitted in Thermador and Viking appliances and custom Porcelanosa cabinetry. Adjacent to the kitchen are open living spaces, but what really draws your attention is the three-story floating glass staircase—quite literally walking on air. Ascending up the stairs will give way to four of the home’s five bedrooms, all of which capture lovely low-country views.
Of course, a perk of Charleston is the relatively warm weather that lingers throughout the year, so the variety of outdoor spaces are welcome sights. An elevated pool and grilling area, as well as water-facing terraces on the various levels, offer ample options for entertaining family and friends.
