Homes of Charleston

It is incredibly enjoyable to meander the streets of Charleston, SC to enjoy the variety of beautiful homes. 

The most famous seems to be Rainbow Row so I took a few photos.

Old entryways are converted into residential doorways.
Spring time is very touristy due to the flowering trees and shrubs.
I try not to forget to look up rather than across the street to admire the old beauty.
Flower boxes are also a gorgeous feature.

Some homes are ridiculously large so I stood in front of this one to demonstrate the grandeur.

Iron work balconies are a common feature.

Inviting entryways.

Homes with second and or third story balconies are called Charleston Style.
Some of these porches have closures to block sun and wind.
Picking a favorite is impossible!

Soft wisteria is draped throughout the strolls.

I hope you enjoyed this charming stroll. These are the more Charleston like styles of the area but there are also more Victorian and Colonial like styles here to appreciate.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

  2. Charleston has so many historic homes. I notice there are homes/buildings like that in Columbia and Lexington too.

  9. The flower boxes and manicured plants added such a beautiful touch to these homes... but the grand front porches really steal the show. I loved seeing those!
