The Residence

Rebuilt from the ground up, in Wagener Terrace.

Extensively rebuilt from the ground up, 5 Saint Margaret Street combines modern construction, a large private backyard and off-street parking in Wagener Terrace, one of Charleston’s most sought-after neighborhoods. The home was taken down to the dirt and reconstructed with a new foundation, all-new electrical and plumbing (including the sewer line to the street), new HVAC and ductwork, and a new roof. Original windows and siding were preserved and rebuilt to keep the home’s character.

The main level has two spacious ensuite bedrooms, a powder room, dedicated laundry, and light-filled living and dining spaces, finished with wide-plank French oak floors and custom tile. The kitchen anchors the home with a 10-foot waterfall quartz island, custom cabinetry and a ZLINE appliance suite, all oriented toward the backyard. Upstairs, a finished and conditioned bonus level with a compact full bath adds flex space; with its lower ceilings, it’s best used as an office, studio or storage rather than a full second floor.

Outside, the fully fenced yard has a custom paver patio with firepit, a deck, ambient lighting, a brick driveway and a site-built storage building with power, with room for a future pool. Near Hampton Park, neighborhood green spaces and local dining.
