Historic High Views on Charleston’s High Battery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

September 29, 2025 – Charleston, SC<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step into history with the rare opportunity to acquire 2 Water Street, a museum-quality residence on the High Battery that embodies Charleston\u2019s architectural grandeur and timeless Lowcountry lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructed between 1810 and 1818 by Nathaniel Ingraham\u2014merchant and veteran of John Paul Jones\u2019s famed Bon Homme Richard\u2014this four-story brick and stucco home blends historic integrity with modern luxury. While its entry fronts Water Street, the home has always been oriented toward the harbor, affording sweeping views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanning 7,453 square feet, the residence offers six bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths. Interiors are defined by soaring ceilings, elaborate mouldings, finely carved mantels, and intricate period details, creating an atmosphere of unmatched elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The property\u2019s distinguished ownership history includes William Burgoyne\u2019s 1820s expansion, Otis Mills\u2019s 1832 combination with the neighboring Saltus House, and later stewardship by Dr. Edward and Anna Wells, who added the iconic Second Empire mansard roof and cast-metal detailing. Their daughter, Sabina Elliott Wells, went on to become a celebrated Newcomb potter, adding to the home\u2019s cultural provenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set on a rare double lot, the estate features gated off-street parking, a private Charleston garden, sparkling pool, gracious terrace, and elevator access\u2014all marrying modern convenience with historic character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only a handful of Charleston\u2019s most prominent families as stewards over two centuries, 2 Water Street stands as a singular offering in the city\u2019s most prestigious neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not simply a residence, but a legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
