The Blue Jasmine House- 94 Bogard Street

Built in the 1890's, this large 3BD/ 3.5BA Victorian single family house has a story to tell. For some 50 years the home has been in the owner's family and in 2018 was featured on HGTV's "This Old House". While completely renovated and restored, the home retains many of its original historic touches, yet manages to provide all the modern comforts one would want during a stay here in Charleston. The hard work did not go unnoticed, as the house won the 2018 Carolopolis Award for Best Renovation. If you are looking to experience the melting pot that is Charleston, surrounded by art, this house is for you.
The Space:
As soon as you enter through the front door you will get a sense of the owner's travels and design inspiration. The home features pops of color that evoke the Bermudians that originally settled Charleston, and honors the Africans that brought their culture and technology to the Carolina gold rice fields that made Charleston famous. The whole first floor boasts large windows letting in loads of natural light, with museum quality reproduction hardware and original art from all around the world, the African Diaspora in particular. The living room features plenty of comfortable seating, a flat screen TV, and a beautiful brick fireplace.
Just off the living room is the kitchen and dining room. In the dining room you will also find a brick fireplace and a large live edge dining table with seating for six. The kitchen features a large island with seating for three, loads of cabinet space, and upgraded stainless steel appliances. The kitchen comes fully stocked with all of your necessary cooking essentials including a Keurig coffee machine!
Accessible via its own entrance through the back door is the Bermuda Room, the first of the three bedrooms. With a queen size bed, luxurious en-suite bathroom, and flat screen TV, the Bermuda Room provides comfort and privacy. There is also a large porch which leads to the lush garden, planted with jasmine, hibiscus and loquats, just outside the bedroom door.
Heading upstairs you will find the additional two bedrooms and hallway laundry room. The large Master Suite, also known as The Africa Room features a king size bed, seating area, large closet, brick fireplace, TV, and en suite bathroom. This bathroom has both a large soaking tub and a tile shower. Off of the Master is a large porch with a hammock, perfect for relaxing, and a small table with two cane chairs to enjoy an espresso or glass of wine. The upstairs guest bedroom, The Carolina Room, features a king size bed, brick fireplace, and ensuite bathroom with tile shower. There is another porch off of this bedroom with a table and chairs meant to entice you to people watch on Bogard Street, or enjoy a meal al fresco.
