Features

Design

Governors Row consists of three homes, each featuring three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and an additional room suitable for use as an office, bedroom, or bonus space. The exterior facade of the edifice will showcase the alluring and resilient "Charleston Stucco" meticulously applied to concrete masonry units at the ground level. The upper floors, which can be accessed via private elevators will incorporate the traditional wooden framing, with cementitious lap siding to ensure minimal upkeep. Expansive, impact-resistant aluminum-clad windows and sliding doors will bathe the interiors in an abundance of natural light. The windows will be enhanced by intricate exterior crown moulding and functional shutters. To bestow a touch of traditional Charleston aesthetics, the structure will be crowned by a standing seam metal roof. The main entrance of each residence will be highlighted by a naturally finished mahogany door, artfully recessed within an arched architectural element along the Barre Street frontage.

Ground floor

At the rear of the structure, the homeowner will enter via the shared driveway to access their two-car garage. An elevator will be provided in each home extending from the garage level to the top floor. In addition, a stairway to the upper level and an expansive storage area is accessible from the garage.
