Property Description

Where history, artistry, and Southern hospitality intertwine. Featured on Magnolia Network's Anything But Gray (also streaming on Discovery+ and HBO Max), the Wilson-Cochran House at 173 Tradd Street stands as a masterful expression of Charleston's timeless character reborn through the creative lens of renowned designer Gray Benko. Built in 1915 for Daisy S. Wilson, the home's original Folk Queen Anne and Craftsman elements remain proudly intact: the original oak floors, boxed newel staircase, paneled wainscoting, coffered dining ceilings, and period millwork that nods to the golden age of Charleston craftsmanship. The home's architectural DNA was preserved through a thoughtful restoration that celebrates every hand-hewn beam and reclaimed Charleston brick, paired withtoday's sophisticated comforts. The heart of the home, a fully reimagined kitchen and hearth room features an invisible Invisia cooktop, beautiful marble countertops, and custom inset cabinetry with hidden appliance garages. The space flows effortlessly into a warm hearth room designed for those long Southern conversations that stretch into evening. Every fixture in the home glows with unlacquered brass fixtures destined to develop a living patina over time. The butler's pantry, located along the original rear galley staircase, evokes the era when Charleston's homes were run with precision and grace. Reimagined with a built-in wine fridge and dual laundry centers, it bridges historic charm with modern utility. Behind the electric privacy gates lies a redefined Charleston courtyard with new slate hardscaping, a fire pit, and a turfed dog run. Anchored by a salvaged bench from the original Cooper River Bridge, the space exudes heritage and serenity. Copper gas lanterns flicker by evening, and the rooftop porch offers a private perch to enjoy coffee as the city awakens.Over its 110-year life, this corner brick residence has witnessed generations of Charleston's evolution from its early days under Judge Ernest Cochran to its present rebirth under Gray Benko's creative direction. It's a home with chapters, not just square footage. To live South of Broad is to embrace Charleston's most iconic neighborhood, where cobblestone streets, grand piazzas, and salt-air breezes meet unmatched architectural heritage. Residents enjoy proximity to The Battery, White Point Garden, and Waterfront Park, all within a stroll through tree-lined avenues draped in Spanish moss. The area's exclusivity, artistry, and waterfront vistas define what many consider the epitome of refined Southern living.173 Tradd Street is not simply a home, it's a living chronicle of Charleston's architectural lineage, reborn for the modern era while preserving the soul of its past.
