The 1846 DeSaussure House is not merely a residence; it is a statement of legacy, masterfully reborn.
Honored by the City of Camden’s Historic Preservation Society in 2025, this iconic estate has been completely reimagined from the studs out, achieving a rare harmony between historic grandeur and modern precision. Every inch reflects intentional design, where timeless architecture meets cutting-edge engineering and all-new systems - crafted for the most discerning buyer.
From the moment you arrive, the presence is undeniable. A grand foyer welcomes you inside, where dual parlors unfold on either side - each adorned with bespoke wainscoting, soaring 14-foot ceilings, and original heart pine floors that echo the home’s storied past.
Beyond, a breathtaking 1,950-square-foot expansion reveals itself - seamlessly integrated yet distinctly modern. Here, elevated living takes center stage: a world-class chef’s kitchen, dual walk-in pantries, a curated coffee and service station, and an elegant butler’s pantry designed for effortless entertaining. A sun-drenched, climate-controlled sunroom offers year-round serenity, while the main-level primary suite delivers a private sanctuary complete with a custom dressing room worthy of a couture atelier.
Rich in character and unexpected detail, the estate also features a street-level executive office and a hidden “speakeasy” wine cellar - ingeniously transformed from the original stables, where exposed historic brick creates an ambiance both intimate and unforgettable.
Set across 2.08 acres of newly curated grounds, the 6,641-square-foot residence offers five grand bedroom suites and eight fireplaces, each space thoughtfully designed to balance scale with warmth. Enhancing the estate is a private Rockwell system delivering pH-balanced alkaline water throughout the property - providing both sustainable irrigation and a refined, premium drinking experience.
For the visionary, the possibilities are as compelling as the home itself. With its commanding presence, expansive acreage, and unmatched character, the estate is ideally suited as an extraordinary personal residence, or could be transformed into a luxury boutique inn, a private luxury wedding or event venue.
Rare. Significant. Unrepeatable. One of a kind.
This is more than a home, it is one of South Carolina’s most distinguished historic offerings. The true crown jewel of Historic Camden.
