The Art History House, indoor heated pool, 3 bedrooms, with two kitchens

The Art History House is a unique, spacious home with a view of Goose Creek reservoir on the outskirts of beautiful Charleston, South Carolina. The house is furnished throughout with antiques and artwork. The ceilings, some of which are wooden, feature large wooden support beams and many feature uplighting. My guests will enjoy an indoor heated pool with a children's water slide. There are three bedrooms available for rent, each decorated in a unique theme, which sleep a combined total of eight. There are two available kitchens, one with a large dining room table and fireplace and the other with a breakfast nook. Three of the bathrooms are full baths and two are half baths.
A spacious Foyer, featuring a columned piano terrace, leads through a glass door to an exotically decorated elevated pool terrace with a billiard table. Beyond the pool terrace is the heated pool. In a large, walled, private yard beyond the patio, guests may lounge in hammocks in the shade of trees. A large, gated, on-grounds parking area can accommodate as many as 11 vehicles without shuffling.
Three bedrooms are available. The themed bedrooms include, first, the Africa Room, which employs prints and masks from Africa and Asia to establish a delightful aesthetic, while the luxurious queen-sized bed makes it comfortable and snug. A full bath is attached. The second, the Old Southwest Room, is cozy and sports a Tex-Mex flair with beautiful paintings and prints reflecting the culture. This room has a double bed, and in the spacious adjacent sitting room the couch hides a trundle bed, which collectively allows the room to sleep two adults and two children. A full bathroom is a few feet down the hall and a kitchen, and another half-bath is across the Foyer. Third is the Early American Suite, which is filled with antique furniture, including a chaise lounge and a side-by-side secretary desk. This bedroom features a king-size bed, as well as an attached bathroom with a closet.
The house centers around the massive indoor Pool Room, which includes a 15,000 gallon heated pool, Spanish tile on the apron, and a children’s slide, all available to guests. A pool table and a dart board are also available for guests to use. A large, enclosed Cafeteria connects the Pool Room to the Early American Suite. A laundry room for guest use is located at the front of the house.
Ample off-street parking is available. A spacious outdoor patio extends from the upper pool deck to the parking lot where one can find a basketball hoop and enjoy the yard’s hammocks.
I live in Goose Creek, which is about 30 minutes from the beaches and downtown Charleston. I'm in a neighborhood about four miles to restaurants like Sabor Latino, Crazy D's grill, Chao Goiano Brazilian, Montana's seafood and hamburgers, and Parks Kitchen, which has breakfast bowls. I'm close to Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park, Children's Museum of the Lowcountry, North Charleston Fire Museum, North Charleston Wannamaker County Park, Frankie's Amusement Fun Park, Flight Adventure Park Charleston, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, the Charleston Museum and the Hunley submarine. After a long day, it's nice to take a walk along Goose Creek Reservoir from my house.
Historic Dorchester State Park is about 8 miles from the house on the Goose Creek Reservoir. There a visitor can wander through an actual Revolutionary War fort and see a fine Georgian bell tower, all that remains of an early 18th century chapel. The house is 6 miles from Charleston International Airport and 7 miles from Joint Air Force Base Charleston. Our neighborhood is quiet, with pleasant walking trails encircling the reservoir only a minute from our front door. Wildlife, especially shore birds such as the Plover and Egret, can be spotted from the outdoor pool steps. The neighborhood is very scenic and makes a great spot for photos.
The owner lives upstairs in an area off limits to the rest of the house, and is often out of town. A caretaker occupies a fourth themed room.
No pets are allowed. A $100 security deposit is payable directly to the owner at check-in, refundable at check-out. There is a separate fee to heat the pool. There is no separate cleaning fee.
