Property Description

21 Lamboll Street is a beautifully restored circa-1834 residence in Charleston's South of Broad neighborhood. Known as the Catherine Jenkins House, the historic property has undergone an extensive renovation that carefully honors its original architecture while introducing thoughtful updates throughout. The project was completed by Tupper Builders with architect Eddie Fava and was recognized with a 2024 Carolopolis Award for its exceptional preservation and craftsmanship.The renovation included a comprehensive interior restoration, with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC systems, and flooring throughout. Ceilings and doorways were raised where possible to enhance the scale and natural light of the interiors, while five fireplaces were relined and converted to fully functional gas fireplaces. The home's historic character is complemented by Classic Brass hardware throughout, Forbes & Lomax light switch panels, and Gracie wallpaper in the primary bedroom. The first floor offers a gracious progression of living spaces from the front living room and dining room to the kitchen and expansive family room at the rear of the home. The kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. A separate scullery provides a dedicated workspace just off the kitchen. Large new windows across the rear of the home frame views of the beautifully landscaped backyard from the family room. Upstairs, the second floor is anchored by a generous primary suite with an exceptionally large walk-in closet and spacious primary bath. Two additional bedrooms are located on this level, along with another full bath, laundry room, and access to the upper piazza. The third floor offers two more bedrooms, two full baths, and a bonus room, providing flexible space for guests, an office, or additional living space. The ceiling on this level was also raised as part of the renovation. The exterior received the same level of attention. The original piazza was restored, a portion of the screened porch was enclosed with windows to add interior living space, and the exterior configuration was improved with a new staircase. Additional work included new paint, shutters, lanterns, flashing, gutters, a driveway, and a whole-home generator. The yard was fully graded and redesigned with new turf, landscaping, irrigation, and yard lighting by Blue Moon. Nine fruit trees add to the established garden setting, while a timed mosquito misting system provides added convenience. At the rear of the property, a fountain creates a peaceful focal point within the garden. Off-street parking accommodates two cars and a golf cart. With its restored piazzas, beautifully proportioned rooms, extensive modern systems, and carefully landscaped grounds, 21 Lamboll Street offers the rare combination of historic Charleston architecture and a renovation designed for the way a home is lived in today.
