Charleston’s Historic District is famous for its eclectic collection of antique homes, designed according to no one style. There are Georgian, Italianate and Victorian models, many of them built with double- decker covered porches, called piazzas, that run along the long length of the narrow houses, facing away from the street. And, right now along Logan Street, a circa-1878 Victorian is listed for $5.45 million.
For historic architecture lovers, this home is a dream to pour over. As is customary, its double piazzas are built sideways-not street-facing-with views over the formal courtyard. The facade is graced with period details including a big bay window and stained-glass on the front door. Throughout the nearly 4,500-square-foot interiors, there are additional antique embellishments, such as carved moldings, ornate fireplace surrounds and parquet floors. In all, it offers five bedrooms and six bathrooms, including a separate one-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen.
Ruthie Ravenel of Daniel Ravenel Realty affiliated with Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing just blocks from King Street.
