55 Ashley Avenue Unit 17Charleston, SC 29401

The Baker House in Harleston Village has long been regarded as one of the best-built condominium buildings in one of Charleston's most coveted neighborhoods, and Residence 17 is its most thoughtfully renovated unit.Completely reimagined in 2024 by acclaimed NYC interior designer Tina Ramchandani, the residence was rebuilt from the studs out -- new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and ductwork -- and finished with materials and craftsmanship rarely seen at this scale. Oversized windows pour natural light into the home, where exposed brick meets European custom cabinetry, Visual Comfort & Co. lighting, and Italian furniture custom made for the space. The kitchen is built for amateur and professional chefs alike, with concealed Fisher & Paykel appliances, an induction cooktop, and a lockable winfridge. The home conveys furnished.The primary suite is a quiet retreat with treetop views over Moultrie Park, two custom closets with extra-tall doors, and a spa-like bath finished in Italian terrazzo, handmade Spanish subway tile, and Grohe and Duravit fixtures. A full-sized washer and dryer are tucked into a hall closet with room to spare.For a downtown Charleston condo, the ownership details are exceptional. The HOA is financially sound. The unit comes with one deeded parking space and the ability to request a second -- a real advantage in a city where parking is becoming limited. Private storage and dedicated bike storage are included as well. Step outside and Colonial Lake, City Marina, tennis courts, Pilates studios, and Charleston's best restaurants are all within a short walk. Residence 17 offers something genuinely uncommon: a turnkey downtown pied-à -terre in a building that was built -- and is maintained -- to last.
