The Cassina Group Sells Historic John Edwards House

Press Release

The Cassina Group’s Robertson Allen just participated in the sale of the historic John Edwards House, an iconic Charleston residence located South of Broad and footsteps away from White Point Garden and The Battery. The property is located at 13 & 15 Meeting Street, and Allen was the only REALTOR involved in the transaction. It closed on April 11th for $12,600,000, making it the highest-priced home sold so far this year in Charleston and the fourth highest home sale ever recorded in MLS.

“Selling the home was a full-circle moment for me,” said Allen, founding partner of The Cassina Group.  “My great-grandparents previously owned the home, and I spent much of my childhood on the property. My grandparents lived at 13 Meeting, which is where my father spent the first few years of his life. The most recent owners have done a magnificent job of maintaining the home’s historic charm and integrity, and my clients plan to continue this stewardship with tasteful renovations to further enhance the home while preserving its character.”

Built around 1770, this pre-revolutionary home boasts a rich history and is named after its original owner, John Edwards, a prominent local politician during the American Revolution. Sitting on 0.58 acres of land, the property includes an 8,876 square foot main house at 15 Meeting Street and a 2,550 square foot carriage house at 13 Meeting Street. The expansive grounds feature enchanting gardens, brick pathways, a central fountain, beautiful iron gates, and a striking semi-circular double piazza.  Inside, carefully preserved historic details await, including wainscoting, heart pine floors, detailed moldings, original fireplaces, and elegant chandeliers. Robertson Allen handled the transaction off-market and was the sole agent involved in the sale.

The Cassina Group is a powerhouse firm, with just over 40 REALTORS®, and consistently ranks as the number one boutique firm in MLS. In the first quarter of 2023, the company had over $191 million in closed and pending sales. For more information on The Cassina Group, please visit CassinaGroup.com.
