Casa Zoë | Grand Sparrow House

Summary:
OP2025-05862

Casa Zoë’s crown jewel, The James Sparrow House, is a grand Federal-style landmark reimagined for modern gatherings. Fully redesigned, it blends 19th-century craftsmanship with bold interiors and curated art. With 9 bedrooms, 16 beds, and 7.5 baths, it hosts up to 27 guests steps from Charleston’s top dining and shops—perfect for weddings, reunions, and corporate retreats.

The Space:
The James Sparrow House isn’t just a place to stay - it’s an experience in scale, history, and design. Step inside and you’re greeted by soaring ceilings, layered textures, and the hum of a home built for celebration. With nine bedrooms, multiple kitchens, and grand porches made for lingering, it’s Charleston’s answer to “Where can we all stay together… and do it in style?”

This house is recognized by locals among the finest in the Short-Term Overlay Rental District.

• The largest Casa Zoë home — perfect for big groups
• Flexible layout with multiple kitchens and living spaces
