Welcome to The Baker House at 55 Ashley Avenue -- an iconic address overlooking Colonial Lake in the heart of historic downtown Charleston.Enter through the secure, elegant lobby and ascend to Residence 17, a third-floor apartment fully reimagined in 2024 under the guidance of acclaimed NYC interior designer Tina Ramchandani. Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom -- including new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and ductwork -- this residence offers the rare ease of a turnkey Charleston pied-a-terre.Upon entering the apartment, oversized windows pour natural light into the home, casting a soft glow across exposed brick and the thoughtfully tailored living space that is a mix of historic and modern touches. The atmosphere is both polished and welcoming -- equally suited to quietmornings overlooking the tree tops and Moultrie Park as it is to intimate evenings at home. Under the warm ambiance of curated Visual Comfort & Co. lighting, the custom Italian Art Nova sofa and adjustable height coffee tables, designed for the space, create a sophisticated gathering space. The adjoining kitchen features European inspired custom cabinetry and well-camouflaged Fisher & Paykel appliances, including a lockable wine fridge and a precision induction cooktop. This kitchen stands ready for amateur and professional chefs alike. Walking down the hall to the primary suite, you pass two large, deep windows with roofline views, the tree canopy and Moultrie Park below. Once in the primary suite, natural light continues to fill the room, which includes two large closets. All the closets are custom with extra tall doors to maximize storage. The attached full bath features Italian terrazzo floors, a modern vanity with storage, and an oversized backlit mirror. The German fixtures are from Grohe and Duravit, and the full shower with deep soaking tub has handmade subway tile from Spain. And let's not forget, the convenience of having a full-sized washer and dryer located in one of the many closets with room to spare above for additional storage. Designed for effortless ownership, the residence conveys furnished and includes one deeded parking space, bike storage, and a private 3' x 8' storage room located behind the building. Simply arrive, settle in, and step out your door to enjoy Colonial Lake, Moultrie Park, tennis courts, the marina, Pilates classes, and Charleston's celebrated dining scene. Residence 17 offers an exceptional blend of historic character, modern design, and lock-and-leave convenience -- an elevated sanctuary in one of Charleston's most coveted locations.
