Property Description
This residence has an illustrious chain of ownership. In the 1820s, William Burgoyne purchased and expanded the property by acquiring the neighboring Francis Saltus House at 6 Water Street. In 1832, Otis Mills developer of the Mills House Hotel combined the properties. After damage during the 1864 bombardment, subsequent owners Anna Wells and her husband, Dr. Edward Wells, made significant architectural changes, including adding a Second Empire mansard roof and cast-metal detailing. Their daughter, Sabina Elliott Wells, later became a celebrated Newcomb potter.
Set on a double lot, the grounds offer a gated off-street parking court, a private Charleston garden, a sparkling pool, and a gracious terrace for outdoor entertaining. An elevator provides easy access to the second floor, blending convenience with timeless grandeur.
With only a handful of prominent Charleston families as past stewards, this residence is both an exclusive offering and a rare investment opportunity in the city's most prestigious neighborhood.
2 Water Street represents the pinnacle of Historic Charleston living, timeless, elegant, and unparalleled. Contact us today to arrange your private tour of this extraordinary home.
