Winding piazzas, sweeping ballrooms, an intimate drawing room, gentleman’s study and two formal dining rooms, all in the style of 19th century haute couture highlight this historic estate. Each room features walls painted in rich Southern hues, lavish interiors, period antiques and opulent trim details. Because The William Aiken House also serves as a museum, the space boasts one of the largest private decorative art collections the Charleston peninsula has to offer.
In addition to the main house, The William Aiken House is surrounded by stunning landscaped grounds, complete with a manicured acre of lush green lawn, a formal Charleston garden, two spacious courtyards, a romantic pergola and reflecting pool.
The natural flow between the magnificent interior and its breathtaking outdoor space promises an enviable setting for any occasion. Winding piazzas lend a commanding panorama of the grounds, with a sprawling century-old magnolia tree framing your view in the distance.
