3 Chisolm St

A landmark Neoclassical masonry condominium converted from a 1923 vocational/school building, 3 Chisolm presents a mix of loft-style and traditional residences across multiple floors. The structure preserves historic character — high ceilings, oversized windows, crown mouldings and exposed beams — while integrating modern condo systems such as elevators and a gated parking garage. Units vary from one- and two-bedroom plans to expansive multi-bedroom single-level lofts and dramatic duplex/penthouse layouts; many homes feature cathedral or vaulted ceilings, kitchen islands, walk-in closets, sunrooms, wet bars, and formal reception rooms. Common elements include landscaped shared courtyards with fountain views, private balconies or terraces for select units, and building-level amenities like an elevator shaft, lawn irrigation and garden spaces designed to complement the central courtyard. Practical conveniences found in the building stock include deeded/covered parking spaces, secured entry, and in-unit laundry or utility areas. Located South of Broad in downtown Charleston, the property is steps from the Battery, Colonial Lake, the Horse Lot park and waterfront, positioning it amid historic streets, restaurants, and cultural destinations. Preservation easements and a character-driven facade maintain the building’s period presence while interior renovations range from meticulously restored classical suites to contemporary loft conversions that emphasize open entertaining spaces.
