Situated on the majestic downtown waterfront, this traditional brick home looks across the newly raised battery promenade on prestigious Murray Boulevard. This coveted South of Broad property overlooks the Ashley River and showcases the most beautiful sunset views in Charleston. 96 Murray Boulevard boasts more than 4,300 square feet, five bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths. Upon entering, a beautiful foyer and grand staircase with custom ironwork greet you. Four sets of French doors open to an elevated patio where you may walk outside and enjoy the garden views. On the left, a formal living room runs the full length of the original house. To the right, a light-filled kitchen and dining room provide the perfect space to entertain. A wet bar that once functioned as a music room connects the two sides of the home. The grand family room with a fireplace and French doors leads out to an elevated patio which has been converted to a sunroom. Opening this space back up would allow for incredible views of the expansive terraced garden.The second-floor features four large bedrooms with four full bathrooms and multiple closets. The rear bedroom would make a wonderful media or playroom. Combining the two front bedrooms would create an incredible primary suite and dressing room, while still retaining two additional bedrooms with their own bath. An addition and later renovation transformed the third floor into a primary suite and a large office with built-ins. The third-floor rooftop deck offers panoramic city and water views as far as the eye can see. Outside, a beautiful and expansive walled garden with lovely terraces offers plenty of room for a pool. The incredible combination of 96 Murray Boulevard's expansive square footage, water views and convenient location, ensures the next owner a rare opportunity to restore this wonderful South of Broad home.
