TWO-STORY GINGERBREAD VICTORIAN 

This two-story gingerbread Victorian is situated in Ansonborough, known as one of Downtown Charleston’s most convenient and sought after locations. Within a short walk is a grocery store, the Aquarium and shops of Waterfront Walk, and a myriad of shops and restaurants on King Street. Circa 1900, 6 Wentworth Street has lacy gingerbread trim and whimsical details that add to its extensive curb appeal. Double front piazzas adorn the facade and add to the living spaces. The property is beautifully landscaped with ornamental trees shading the entryway and a lush walled garden in the rear. A driveway offers parking for two cars. Extensive renovations through the years have added to the charm and modern livability of the home. The floor plan is practical with flow through sundrenched double parlors, a formal dining room, kitchen and outdoor living spaces. Interior highlights include heart pine hardwood floors, high ceilings, pretty moldings, numerous built-ins and pretty tile fireplace surrounds. The Preservation Society of Charleston holds a facade easement on the property. 

First Floor:  Enter into a foyer with stairhall running to the rear of the home. Double parlors are separated by pocket doors, each featuring fireplaces with ornamental mantelpieces, pretty tile and mirrors. Just across the hall is the formal dining room with a small study to its rear. The study could easily function as a fourth bedroom with a full bath just across the hall. The kitchen has been updated to include new cabinetry with display shelving and wine storage; beadboard accents, stainless steel appliances including a gas cooktop; and butcherblock countertops. Ample room exists for a small breakfast table or portable center island. The kitchen also has a large window over the sink overlooking the courtyard and garden. The screened porch offers an ideal setting for al fresco dining. 

Second Floor:  Dual master bedrooms plus an additional bedroom exist on this level. The current master bedroom accesses the upper front piazza with French doors opening from the bath. The bath has a pretty tub with ceramic tile surround and beadboard accents. The two additional bedrooms are connected and offer built in bookshelves and a full bath.
