Ruby Bell's is a hidden gem nestled on Society Street with double front porches and a huge magical tree in the front courtyard! A white picket fence marks the address adding ambiance and privacy to the double porches. As you walk to the end of the hallway, you will unlock the door leading passed a reading nook with a love seat tucked away at the bottom of the staircase. At the top and to the right you'll see room No. 4 with two queen beds and a fireplace.
The large windows and elegant blue ceiling give this room a calming ambience. Next door there's a marbled floor bathroom with 1920's patina clawfoot tub to soak or shower. This lovely bathroom is perfect for primping at the large vanity and vintage stool. Room No. 2 has twin beds and an exposed brick wall to ceiling fireplace, bringing warmth into this welcoming room for two.
Both of these rooms have access to the enclosed porch that travels the length of the building with a bench to sit and relax. Take the back door down to the garden but be careful on the outdoor stairway. To the left side of the staircase you will find a room to gather in with a galley kitchen featuring a full size fridge, retro apartment stove, dishwasher, and open shelving nestled on the exposed brick original to the home.
There's bar seating around an industrial island, perfect for entertaining as the kitchen opens into a comfortable den with another fireplace. Through the french doors you'll find the largest and most elegant bedroom in the house. A king bed with a velvet settee at the foot, facing a fireplace. This room boasts storage for a long stay in the chifforobe and a lovely vanity. Glass doors open up onto a sleeping porch overlooking Society st. perfect for afternoon naps or enjoying Charleston's breezy evenings and the smell of magnolias.
You'll find everything you need to relax and feel at home. Ruby Bell's apartment has been thoughtfully furnished with eclectic vintage pieces, funky artwork, and a collective of plants in neat pots throughout this home adding to this perfect Charleston getaway.
