36 Mary Street

Tucked behind a private gate in historic Wraggborough, the Thomas Ryan House is a beautifully restored 1830s Charleston residence set on an exceptionally large downtown lot.Over nearly two centuries, the home has had many lives. Its current owners have thoughtfully restored it to a single family residence, preserving its historic integrity while creating a home that feels both gracious and livable. Heart pine floors, substantial moldings, ceiling medallions, multiple fireplaces and beautifully proportioned rooms speak to the craftsmanship and character of its past.The approximately 52 by 175 foot lot is every bit as remarkable as the house itself, offering a sense of privacy and space rarely found on the peninsula.The expansive grounds provide room to envision gardens and a pool, with the potential to explore additional structures. Historic Sanborn maps show two structures once located on the property, offering an intriguing historical precedent for what a future owner might consider, subject to applicable approvals.

Just blocks from King Street, Marion Square, dining and shopping, 36 Mary Street offers a rare combination of historic architecture, significant land, privacy and possibility in the heart of downtown Charleston.
