July 30, 2025 – Charleston, South Carolina
Nestled among ancient live oaks and fragrant magnolias on 1.56 acres in The Crescent, this rare waterfront estate offers a seamless blend of Charleston’s rich past and luxurious coastal living. Originally constructed circa 1750 by Charlestonian Daniel Cannon, the historic home once stood proudly on Queen Street before being relocated by barge to its current location in 1949, preserving its heritage while embracing a new chapter along the Intracoastal Waterway.
From the moment you ascend the grand circular staircase and step onto the marble-inlaid veranda, the home invites you into a world of timeless elegance. Inside, the historic details are unforgettable: original plank floors, pre-Revolutionary cypress paneling, and classic wainscoting set the tone in the formal living and dining rooms. Each fireplace features an original mantel now paired with modern gas logs, and French doors frame serene water views from both rooms.
At the heart of the home, an open-concept kitchen and family room offer panoramic 180-degree water views, filling the space with natural light. Just beyond, a multi-level piazza opens to an outdoor sanctuary complete with an infinity pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and a private deepwater dock with boat lift—offering the rare luxury of stepping from your backyard onto your boat and reaching Charleston Harbor in minutes.
This expansive residence features 7 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a private guest suite, sauna, fitness room, and garage space for up to six vehicles. The dual piazzas provide intimate vantage points for morning coffee with dolphins and evening sunsets over the water.
Located just minutes from downtown Charleston and within walking distance of Porter-Gaud School, this is more than a home—it’s a piece of Charleston’s living history, elevated for today’s most discerning buyer.
