The Property

Built for Gathering

The Overlook on King occupies a striking corner on Charleston's most iconic street, purpose-built in 2024 for groups and families who take their trips seriously. This isn't a converted house with an awkward layout. It was designed from the ground up as a luxury retreat for celebrations, reunions, and the kinds of weekends that deserve a proper home base.

The second-floor residence spans over 3,100 square feet across five bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. The open living and kitchen area anchors the space, flooded with natural light and laid out so everyone has room to spread out while staying connected. Premium finishes, full-size appliances, and hotel-quality linens throughout.

Downstairs, Steep Me A Cup of Tea is your built-in neighborhood coffee and tea shop, opening spring 2026. Step outside and you're on King Street, surrounded by Charleston's best restaurants, cocktail bars, galleries, and boutiques.

The Terrace

The View That Gave Us Our Name

A large open-air terrace overlooks King Street, perched above the pulse of Charleston's most iconic block. Hence the name: The Overlook.

Morning coffee, golden-hour cocktails, late-night wind-down conversations. The terrace is where the best moments of your trip will actually happen. Step through the 72-inch picture-frame panel in the living room and you're outside.
