36 Chapel St, Charleston, SC 29403

Circa 1809, this plantation-style double house was built by prominent Charlestonian Anthony Vanderhorst Toomer and has been restored and renovated multiple times, including work in the 1970s and a complete renovation and expansion in the 1990s. The home features formal living and dining rooms flanking a central hall, heart pine flooring, and hand-carved mantles. The rear includes tall beamed ceilings and an expansive chef’s kitchen with top-end appliances, marble countertops, a breakfast area, a wet bar, and an extra-large island. The post-and-beam living area connects to a private back porch overlooking a brick courtyard and fountain. On the second floor, the master suite includes an attached office or nursery, a massive walk-in closet, and a generous bath with separate garden tub and shower, plus additional second-story living spaces.

A key feature is the ground-floor apartment, which can serve as a guest suite or be rented for 30 days or more. It includes a full kitchen and bath, an enclosed heated and cooled patio, and access to the rear courtyard and fountain. The elevator provides quiet service from the ground level to the master suite level. The property also offers gated parking for 3+ cars, a ground-floor workshop or storage space, and five fireplaces. Historic Charleston Foundation holds a historic easement and first right of refusal on the property.

The home is located in the Wraggborough neighborhood, approximately 2.5 blocks from King Street and its restaurant, nightlife, and shopping scene. Additional details include two meters.
