The carriage house offers an additional 2 bedrooms and 1½ baths, perfect for extended family, guests, or flexible use. Set just two blocks from MUSC and a short walk to the College of Charleston, this home occupies the heart of the city while offering privacy behind its garden walls. Whether cherished as a full-time residence or adapted for multigenerational living, 109 Rutledge Avenue presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a celebrated piece of Charleston history.
