About 11 Montagu St
The Schmidt-Connor House, c. 1818, available for the first time in 45 years. Deemed of valuable architectural significance and great importance to its neighborhood of Harleston Village, this late Federal single house has been lovingly cared for by one family for a generation and retains most of its historic details, while being updated for modern living. The large lot includes the 5020 sqft main home which incorporates a guest wing in the original kitchen building, a 562 sqft pool house, pool, and landscaped gardens.The simple stucco over brick facade is punctuated with one of the most impressive piazza doors in all of historic downtown Charleston. Enter through Tuscan columns and a recessed fanlight onto a wide piazza that received an additional polygonal bay in the 1890s.Inside, in typical single house style, a stair hall connects formal living and dining rooms. At the front of the house, the handsome living room has a working wood burning fireplace, swagged wainscoting, crown molding, and original heart pine floors. The entire house has been freshly painted and the floors refinished. The original scored plaster in the stair hall has been replaced with a mural on canvas that incorporates the scored stone motif along with trompe l'oeil architectural details and whimsical flora and fauna. It rises through all 3 levels of the home. A half bath is tucked under the stairs. The dining room also has a fireplace with original mantle flanked by 2 large china cabinets concealed behind mirrored doors. Transomed doors lead to the piazza and the modern kitchen. History buffs will note the original wavy glass in the exterior windows. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home. Warm cabinetry blends with the historic portion of the home. High-end stainless steel appliances include a Subzero refrigerator and GE Cafe Wi-Fi connected range with 6 gas burners. Like the dining room, the kitchen also opens to the piazza, making indoor/outdoor entertaining seamless. A sunny eat-in area in the hyphen incorporates 2 stories of windows that rise to a skylight. A sitting area with Swedish gas furnace in this atrium keeps the entire expanse toasty warm. There is also a wall of built-in storage.
