Some of the oldest homes in the nation can be found along the meticulously preserved oak-lined streets and slate sidewalks of downtown Charleston.

Being in downtown Charleston has a unique feel that is unmatched by other cities. The gardens and classic architectural styles make visitors and residents feel as if they have just travelled back in time. While many of the historic homes have remained in the same families for generations, there are a wide variety of historic charleston homes for sale. It is important to have a knowledgeable consultant like myself help you determine what home might work for you, and what house will be a strong investment. Various shopping areas, open air markets, restaurants, museums and waterfront promenades are within easy reach of these neighborhoods and provide inviting avenues for family entertainment. Due to the historic nature of the neighborhoods, homes in the area can sometimes be challenging to find. Let me help you determine which downtown Charleston homes for sale might work for you. The waterfront area along the south end of the Charleston Penninsula is called The Battery. It stood up to a fierce attack from historic Fort Sumpter, where the first shots of the Civil War were fired. You feel like you are travelling back in time when you walk around the area. An interesting fact that describes one of the ways that the Charleston's architecture came about is that the City of Charleston used to tax houses by how much space they took along the street. Because of this taxation, most of the houses are built in a rectangular fashion with the smaller end of the rectangle on the street. Many houses are not very wide, but very deep to get a bigger house with a lower tax rate.
