Description : The Captain Baker Francis House dates back to 1747 and was originally built by a merchant.
The Captain Baker Francis House dates back to 1747 and was originally built by a merchant. This Pre-revolutionary gem has been transformed for its owner, a former design magazine editor-in-chief, and her lawyer husband into a sophisticated townhouse in the elegant historic district, within easy reach of the conveniences and activity of King Street and above Broad, blending classic Charleston charm, contemporary design, and magical outdoor living. The stunning Charleston single lives large with rich historic details, including original floors, doors, windows, staircase, four fireplaces, and has been featured in the leading international lifestyle publication, Cabana Magazine.Beau Clowney designed the modern, European-style kitchen, which blends seamlessly into the garden through a wall of steel and glass windows--and indoor and outdoor bluestone tiles. The elegant living room and dining room are on the main level, with a hidden bar and closet, and a powder room. The primary suite has been transformed into a stylish, light-filled retreat with ample storage space and a large dressing room/primary bath. The formal library is lined with floor-to-ceiling book cases, one of which opens to reveal a spacious hidden bathroom. A third-floor guest room and "bunk room" with shiplap paneling and under-bed storage share a contemporary tiled bathroom and shower. The garden lives as an exterior room with a generous lap pool beneath a historic arch covered in climbing fig vines. The custom, bluestone patio with seating and dining areas is designed with outdoor entertaining and enjoyment in mind. A storage shed and cooking area are tucked away behind an ancient wall in the back of the garden. Historic Charleston Foundation holds a conservation easement. Carolina Art Association lists the property as "Building Considered Notable" in the publication, This is Charleston.
