Wow! House: Downtown Dream Home

Is this Legare Street mansion your dream home?

When out-of-towners imagine living in Charleston, they close their eyes and imagine cascading down a grand staircase and lounging in a garden behind secluded gates.

And this home at 32 Legare Street is probably the property that most closely fits those dream-like images, and it's price tag keeps this home confined to dreams as well.

At 17,000 square feet, the house has enough space for your family, your neighbor's family and probably the rest of the block, too. Named the The Sword Gate House, it has one of the most recognizable gates in all of downtown Charleston.

The property features nine bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, and it was built in 1808. Spread over several buildings with beautiful mature gardens, the house is listed at just under $19 million.
