The Gaillard-Bennett House on 60 Montagu Street in Charleston, South Carolina is one of the most historic homes in the region. Its history goes back to 1800 when it was built by Theodore Gaillard, a wealthy trader. This house was restored to its previous glory after four years of restoration that cost somewhere in millions. Considering that and its history, the house has been listed for a steep price of $13 million.
With this high a price, it has taken the second slot for the highest real estate listing ever recorded for Charleston Peninsula. The house really spells charm and definitely has a classic and grand feel to it. It spans over 10,000 square feet, has five bedrooms, five bathrooms, plus two half-baths. The kitchen at 3000 square feet is larger than most houses. There is a carriage house, a pool, and many garages. The campus has gazebos and porches to enjoy the summer sun.
The detailing in this house is mindblowing! The restorers said that its ornamental mantels are unrivalled in the area. The house was restored by a group of very well qualified people who looked at old pictures to get an idea of its grandeur.
