Situated on a tree-lined block of Wentworth Street in the heart of Harleston Village, the James Sanders House celebrates modern preservation with a graceful composition of past and present. Raised by its namesake mason in 1851, the three-story Charleston single house maintains original heart-pine foors, lead-glass windows, marble freplace surrounds, and ribbon moulding. A 2015 renovation renewed the stuccoed brick property with contemporary comforts, including an updated kitchen and saline pool, balancing its 19th-century foundation with 21st-century style. Last spring, the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League, Inc. (CSOL®) teamed up with 14 designers and artisans to reveal its 39th Charleston Symphony Designer Showhouse during a month of tours beneftting the symphony orchestra as well as CSOL® education and scholarship programs.
