This stately Victorian-era Broad Street home, dressed with ornate woodwork, iron fences and gates, multiple porches, marble-checkered entrance tile, and stained glass windows was designed in 1885 by architect John Henry Devereaux for William M. Bird, a local paint dealer. Notably, Mr. Devereaux was the architect responsible for designing the U.S. Post Office and the Federal Courthouse at the Four Corners of Law. The Birds never occupied the home as a primary residence, instead selling it to Mr. Otto Tiedeman and his family in 1889. Mr. Tiedeman was a well known local grocer with his business located on East Bay Street. The Tiedeman House, as it's fondly called, is also the recipient of the prestigious Carolopolis Award, as recognitionfor exceptional historic preservation. The home is divided into two spacious floor condominiums. This lower unit has eight french doors with original glass transoms, flowing out to two piazzas and showering the home with light. The rear piazza overlooks the bricked patio garden shaded by a majestic oak tree. Along with 12 foot ceilings, original pine floors throughout, 9 foot pockets doors, and four fireplaces, there is a bright open kitchen featuring granite countertops and stainless appliances. The primary bathroom has been renovated and is a stand out! This property has four parking spaces that both units share, something rarely found in Charleston. Walk to your heart's content to parks, dine at fabulous restaurants and meander the awe inspiring streets of this neighborhood. Do not miss the opportunity to live as a true Charlestonian in this historic beauty on Broad Street!
