Considered Notable to the City and classified as a Category 2 property, the Thomas Hamlin House, circa 1828, is an Antebellum home built in the Greek Revival style. This unique 3 story home, according to John Poston's The Buildings of Charleston, holds the distinction of being the first house built on Gadsden Street above Wentworth. It is believed to have served as a summer residence for the Hamlin family. When built, the home enjoyed unobstructed views of the Ashley River, a vantage that likely inspired its Lowcountry plantation-influenced details, including the grand front piazza which is ideal for Charleston entertaining and a gable roof with three dormers. The home has been lovingly restored, with interiors done by former owners of the property, designers Athalie Derse and AmeliaHandegan, and gardens by landscape architect Glen Gardner.

All four rooms feature wood-burning fireplaces with prominent high ceilings. The sleek, high-end kitchen sits off the dining room with a large floor to ceiling window overlooking the expansive backyard and a door that opens to the grand piazza. Upstairs, the primary suite includes substantial closet space wrapped around a fireplace and a large bathroom with a double vanity, separate shower, and clawfoot tub. A second cozy guest bedroom sits across the hall with lots of windows and natural light. The raised brick ground floor has been elegantly converted into a one-bedroom, one bath in-law suite with exposed-brick fireplaces in the sitting room and bedroom, heart pine floors, and a full kitchen. Recent upgrades include a Rinnai tankless water heater, new electrical, three heating and cooling zones including a new high efficiency Daikin unit, and refinished floors throughout. The third floor was fully renovated, with spray-foam insulation added beneath the metal standing-seam roof, a custom dressing room area, and a double master bath finished entirely in Waterworks fixtures. The charming ground floor has interior brick that was re-pointed in all five rooms, a new kitchen and bathroom, along with a second washer and dryer for added ease of use.
