## Description

### Agent Description
Circa 1891, the Bernard Wohlers House is a rare architectural jewel nestled in the heart of Charleston's coveted Harleston Village. Perfectly blending Queen Anne and Eastlake design, this historic residence sits gracefully on a deep 130' lot and showcases exquisite period craftsmanship alongside thoughtful modern updates. From the moment you arrive, the home's intricate spindle-work, multi-gabled roofline, and double-tiered piazzas create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, original character and natural light define the space. A grand foyer welcomes you into elegant double parlors highlighted by multiple fireplaces, intricate moldings and original ceiling medallions. Transitioning to the back of the home you will find a formal dining room, updated modern kitchen and familyroom all offering direct access to the first floor piazza with views of the expansive rear garden which offers both privacy and a new swimming pool. Historic details remain impeccably preserved, including triple windows, shell-work accents, and rich architectural elements throughout. A copper roof and the home's elevated, high-and-dry position offer both beauty and peace of mind. Perfectly positioned within walking distance to King Street, Colonial Lake, the medical district, and Charleston's finest dining and shopping. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Charleston history while enjoying the convenience of modern living.
