The steam bath floor sports a lion and bull mosaic patterned after one Doug and Truman saw on their travels.
Double porches along the rear of the house offer optimal views of pool and Ashley River.
One of the floor plan alterations included expanding the master suite’s closet into a grand dressing room, where stylish storage space prevails. Behind this bench? A dresser set.
Because Charlestowne Landing sits across the Ashley River, land across the way will never be developed.
Antique prints illustrating Charles Dickens’ newspaper-released tales came from a family trunk Truman sorted through with designer Carol Lund, who framed the pieces to line the staircase.
In the late 1880s, one of Truman’s relatives traveled Europe for schooling after the Civil War; while there, he collected photos of iconic Old World images which now hang in the home’s hallway.
The residence is tucked away at the end of a quiet Wagener Terrace street on a lot that was formerly part of the King's Grant property.
The pair built a firepit on the marsh edge of their property, where they frequently convene with guests to enjoy dusk views.
