One of the last pre-Revolutionary homes ‘still standing’ in SC is for sale. See it
A home with centuries of history embedded in its walls has landed on the real estate market in Charleston, South Carolina — and it’s a major rarity.
A three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was built in 1772, three years before the start of the Revolutionary War, by a cabinet maker known as Jonathan Badger. There are only 70 other homes “still standing” that are that old in Charleston, making it a rare grab, the listing on Maison Real Estate says.
And it’s for sale for $3.65 million.
Features in and around the three-story brick home include:
Grand foyer
Eight fireplaces
Large dining room
Oversized windows
Original kitchen house
Garden
19th century beams
“43 Tradd Street is located in the highly coveted South of Broad neighborhood within close proximity to local restaurants, shopping, galleries, and historic landmarks,” the listing says. “This .06 acre lot features off street parking, is located in an X flood zone, and has an exterior Historic Charleston Easement.”
The city during that time period was known for the Siege of Charleston, when Americans were trapped by British forces in the city. British Commander-in-Chief General Sir Henry Clinton demanded the surrender of the American army and its commander, General Benjamin Lincoln, and when he refused, Clinton ordered the city to burn.
The listing is held by Mary Lou Wertz.
