Torn between really loving this timeless-beauty historic house, to, overthinking the number of ghosts id be with
!!!!! Literally same I’ve been thinking this throughout the video; it’s hard to appreciate knowing the historic events that probably took place
The ghost hunter ppl should come stay the night here, id wanna see that. Makes me wonder why they are selling it to begin with.
I'd have to sage the HELL out of that mansion lol!
Taskeen Asmal actually, id love to be in the house not just with a story, but an actual history ... but, what id not love, is probably thinking that maybe those who witnessed the history happen was still in the house 😳 (noting the long timeline)
If that prospect bothers you, get a priest to exorcise the place before moving into it.
"If these walls could talk"
Me: Yeah they'd need a freaking therapist for the horrors they've seen
well mostly from the 1740's till the 1860's
@@michaelbcohen that's a while!
Just rich people living in them. There ain't going to be much bad inside the home. Well unless today's rich people are anything to go by.
@@basilgaizka4672 uh, slaveholders or people who advocated for slavery likely lived in this home. . you probably didn't noticed something about a charleston rice bed and how rice was an important crop. well, how do you think they got that rice? slaves, and slaves also likely worked in this home.
@@orangemoonglows2692 Stop being a whiny SJW. Slavery has been around in most parts of the world. I wonder if arabs or turks in Damascus or Istanbul say "Oh my God, these old houses had slave owners in them!"
Get over it.
For historical houses like this it would also be cool to share the history of the house and previous owners.
@4:40. There have only been 3 owners in 150 years, one was state treasurer, the house underwent a 3 year restoration... I think it's all there lol
You could communicate with the previous owners via ouija board
@@BloodClotCryin o yeah but more in depth i meant :) it's always interesting to know more about it. but i understand not all places carry such records or stories in detail.

There is no God but Allah. Holy Quran has been revealed through angel jibreel to prophet Muhammed (PBUH) 1400 years ago as a guidence to all mankind. All the words of the holy Quran are from the Creator.I request everyone to buy the holy Quran with translation and read the entire holy Quran with patience to know about creator and to know why he created us.Pls watch video "The meaning of life muslim spoken word".Also watch famous muslim scholar doctor Zakir Naik lecture Quran and modern science compatible or incompatible.Search on youtube Quran:2 surah Al-Baqara english or native language translation.Read the whole surah with patience to know what Allah has said in the Quran .Surah Al- Baqara is the second Surah of the Quran.This surah is enough to prove that Allah is the only Creator.There are total of 114 suras in the Quran.If you want to know the truth about your Creator read 1 to 114 Surahs. Get to know your Creator, who has spoken to you through the Quran. Listen to the true story of Yusuf Estes,Why and how he became a Muslim from christian. Also listen to famous scholar Ahmed didat lecture who became muslim from Christian. Listen to famous muslim scholar lecture Nouman Ali khan,Mufti Menk,Tarik jameel,Yasmin Mogaheed and Omar Solaiman .Request to all muslims and non-muslims wake up before its too late.May Allah guide all of you on right path.Ameen

See, this is how you respect a historical house, not by letting the old facade be and modernizing the interior. Huge respect for the property owners.
Good luck selling it to anyone who actually wants to live in it tho lol

Old architecture and style is exactly what I love. Modern style is absolutely disgusting to me.
@@coe8159 Same! I don't like modern homes!
Let me guess, it's on sale because the previous owners mysteriously died. And the owners before them, and before them.

@@Pearlpiy Yep and it’s on church street and it’s during pre- revolutionary times, need I say more?
You do know Poltergeist wasn't a documentary, right? :)
Didn't notice that until you pointed it out.
ngl everyone's talking about ghosts but the true monsters would probably be the slaveowner history of this home........
Edit: Why these white racists r defending themselves on my comment thread? I don't know. I wasn't even saying anything, just pointing out how historical homes can have this kinda history.

It’s wild how mildly historical building are so rare in the states! Come to Europe and we’ll give u a medieval house for nothing 😂
We're so new, that we didn't have very many high-quality buildings built, and retained, until we got firmly established a couple hundred years ago.
True :D
Our land is just as old as your Europe
@@dondressel452 Nobody is speaking about the land.
Feels like a logical fallacy how you're discrediting the age and beauty of this hosue just because there happen to be older ones elsewhere
Finally, a traditional mansion.
I'm so tired of huge houses with minimalist aesthetic.
My boyfriend and I decided to play a drinking game everytime we watch AD together: drink whenever they mention indoor outdoor living, whenever there is a home movie theater, whenever you see a fireplace, etc. This one with 16 fireplaces was a good one
"if these walls could talk..." they'd tell you the horrors of slavery. This is very tone death.
Stop spewing woke garbage. This is a beautiful house not a monument of slavery.
@@anonymousonlineuser6543 How is this giant colonial house not a monument to slavery? It was only able to be built because of the slave trade.
Irs still a beautiful house and deserves to be preserved. But there is no point not being honest about its history.
@@Xii371 Who cares? Only incredibly dumb person would look at Egyptian pyramid or Roman villa and think: ''Wonder, how many slaves died building it....''

LOVED this tour. Please do more like it. Seeing modern after modern homes gets a bit tiring. And hats off to these agents - they did a great job relaying details about the property.
Beautifully and tastefully restored. I love how modern conveniences have been bought in without taking away from the charm of the original details.
Beautiful house and job well done by the owners. Usually we see historic house from the outside but the inside is totally different. This house is a vibe. Both the realtors are amazing as well, they know what they are talking about and straight to the point.
One of the most beautiful historical houses I've ever seen.
The charm of this house is so timeless and impeccable. I am in love!
The kitchen where "people would have cooked or boiled water."
This place screams slavery :S

Exactly! The verbal gymnastics that had to go into this script to avoid mentioning slavery or slave quarters was pretty breathtaking.
So what? Yes, slavery was bad, but it's a part of history, wether you like it or not. Do you want to demolish this and other houses of that era? Or rewrite history books?
This house is giving me nothing but slave owner vibes
Yeah, very dark gives me a weird vibe
That's because it was!
as it should.
Lets tear it down and replace it with a George Floyd statue, amirite?
Stop whining.
@@christianwestling2019 Misdirected hate? You could use a shrink.
It‘s a beautiful property and very thoughtfully restored. I hope the next owners would have as much love and respect for the place as the current ones do.
69 Church Street, nice
Nice
I feel like if we are going to talk about the history & the context of the architectural features, there needs to be some acknowledgement of slave ownership in that home. Its a gorgeous house and thats a hard topic, but i feel like erasure is not the best approach
sounds about white
Right! They kept saying that this home had “one of the first” or “the only home to have this big of a lot” etc, and I’m like... where do you think they got the money from to build a house of such grandeur and what they did to get this house (slavery)... and the “people” that would have been in the kitchen wouldn’t have been considered “people” during this homes first hundred years or so.
Stop spewing woke garbage. This is a beautiful house not a monument to slavery. You triggered morons are such a kill joy.
@@anonymousonlineuser6543 The original owner was one of the biggest plantation owners in South Carolina it literally is a monument to slavery you idiot.
@@Alex-lb9xd Only very dumb person looks at Roman villa or Egyptian pyramid and thinks: How many slaves were used to build it. You are one of those people. Congrats.
Wow, made it through the entire house without reference to the history of enslaved people and the way this history effected the architecture and layout of the home 🤔
I was thinking the exact same thing, old charleston is a feast for the eyes but walking through it makes you sick because you know the enormous cost of human dignity involved to create this. I found it a unsettling mix of sensations.
george this is the very first thing that popped in my hed. i visualized pain all over that house. there are at a minimum 2000 ghosts of deceased black people in that yard alone . i'd be guilty
Exactly right. The ballroom and dining room would have been attended to by slaves, and the kitchen and gardens full of slaves cooking, harvesting, etc.
If they didn't have slaves, they would have had hired help who lived onsite or nearby and separate spaces for them, so I don't think that slavery affected the "layout" of the space. Slaves may have built the house if that's what you mean. Any American watching this video about a historic pre-revolutionary war home, would likely know that slaves likely existed in this space at many points in it's history (as they would have in ANY home that existed during the time period of slavery in the U.S.) so that really goes without saying. Also, it's not a video on American History, but on home architecture, and on a multi-million dollar space they're currently trying to sell. I don't think they have to be the History Channel when they are real estate brokers. Selling the home is their job, not teaching history.
Say it loud say it proud! Not a mention of all the bones buried there!
It was all fun and games till the graveyard showed up 💀😭
This house has a *lovely* style… ✨slave-owner✨
I guess they don’t want to mention how the guest house was actually where the slaves lived…
I have a great idea! Why don't we all go to Rome and tear down every single solitary statue and piece of architecture? How about tearing down the Colosseo, too?
The Romans owned more slaves than the modern world did, put together.
You seem to be offended by the fact that, according to you, "they don't want to mention that the guest house is where the slaves lived." Are you aware of the fact that not every wealthy, Southern, family owned slaves? I guess you aren't. Did you know the owners of this property personally?
You might want to inform yourself, or... you can just fall for the Globalist racial division agenda. You've been indoctrinated very well and so have the people who've up voted this comment. Congratulations on being a Globalist sheep. 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
You think the slaves lived in the guest house? Slaves lived in shacks far away from the masters house.
HoHoHopium lol shut up
@NakedAndLaughing I had a feeling my comment would really piss off the conservatives lol
@@hohohopium honestly love seeing the conservatives get fired up over the notion that slaves existed.
What a gem of a home! It’s a good thing to see that kind of craftsmanship !
The amount of slaves that have been rotated through that property is probably ridiculous 😐
The slave labor to build that mansion. That's probably why it's on the market now haha.
What I thought😔
Sad to think about but most likely very true :/ hope black people buy it then!
@@becksdre3294 ? Hope black people buy it? That doesn’t even make sense- like why does it matter lmao
It’s pretty remarkable when you look at all of the architectural achievements that should be attributed to enslaved labor. It’s a shame that it’s under-acknowledged in the modern day US.
This is the best house I’ve ever seen featured on AD. I’m not into mansions, and while this is def over the top, the home and property are gorgeous.
still bigger than most mansions they show. 8500 sqft is so freaking much. I found 9.5 milion in this house the biggest steal I have ever seen. That house in Callifornia, especially in Los Angeles County, wouldn't cost less than 25 milion.
*Wow what an amazing and beautiful home.*
This is my kind of history. Thx ladies for the tour
I love the concept of garden rooms
I am a big modern house fan, but I appreciate this house a lot, this is a really cozy house
Absolutely beautiful. Gotta love Charleston
So cool!
This house, and the other buildings very much my style and decor and color schemes, I love this house etc. I hope that it gets new owners who will love it, take care of it, and respect its history and architectural design features! Well done indeed!
Very nice
Loved thr historical stuff
Everyone's talking about how this is worth the price and, true. Except it is actually soooo expensive, I don't think I'll have this money in just a few years.
buy the doge to MOON
in all your life, more likely.

@@r.c.6940 ok, tell him to come back to me once he's become rich to the point of being able to buy 10 million dollar houses lol
Set a goal and visualize having that money. Maybe you'll start a company, or sell a craft, or invent something, or innovate something, and become rich. It starts with visualizing and believing it though. Then your mind will start to work to figure out how to make it happen.
My heart... I need this home.

“Guest house” 🙂
Spirit realm lol
No one is going to pay 9 million for a house in Charleston with an association that limits renovation to the exterior and interior of the house. I can see why it’s been on the market for so long.
Dang, that was beautiful. I didn't think I'd ever see something that would make me say "Yeah, I'd like to live in South Carolina", but here we are.
Historical hullabaloo aside, I still think the art style of the interior looks worlds better than the razor sharp edge nightmares we have in modern houses.
wowww this is amazing!!!
so much history in that house
I'm here now. Most homes downtown are historic and beautiful
9.5M for a historical property? tell me the house is haunted without telling me the house is haunted 👀
You know, i hate modern houses with their sterile environments and lifeless black, white and grey blocks. I genuinely prefer traditional and more colorful styles.... But this is just too much.Who would like to live in a house this old? This thing literally had slaves roaming around. It's not worthy at all. It's not that pretty and it's also not practical for modern life . It needs a lot of restoration. And i don't believe in ghosts and the supernatural at all, but that pool looks cursed asf. If ghosts existed, they sure as hell would inhabit this house. Imagine the amount of people who died within those walls. Imagine all the slave labor it saw. Too morbid to me.
100% with you on this. It's a pretty house but it gives me major creeps because of all the horror these walls will have seen. Who wants to live in that and constantly have to renovate it on top of that? No thank you. Couldn't pay me a million dollars to live in there.
10000% this
my first thought were the ghosts that has to inhabit this place
Never go live in old European houses then if you think there are ghosts in these houses 😂
Hm... you wouldn’t like in France... if you take a look at the city of Tours, in the historic centre people live in 13th century houses :) it’s not AS practical as some more modern houses, but the history is huge (although the history of this particular house is certainly reaaally not cool)
Looks like I'd walk into the living room and see John Marston cleaning his rifle.
Great example of a lovely Georgian House! Kudos for the sympathetic restoration 👏 It would be great to *learn* more of the *history* of the US & the Americas before the US was formed. *This planet has existed for millions of years and humanity has been here for 40,000 years!* History, both pleasant and horrible is something we must learn to *acknowledge & accept* (not try to get rid of it, pretend it didn't happen or get really upset or angry about it) because it is still part of our Energy field as *energy is timeless: it can only be transformed into different vibrations, it can never die.* We need to *heal,* but first we must *learn* and then we can *grow* and do it *together* as *One Family,* one Consciousness, One Love ❤️
I'm pretty sure those are tombstones at 10:42 that are still part of the mansion
YUP. No thanks on that.
On the neighboring properties.
Those belong to the church next to the house
We're all going to die. 🤷🏻♀️ Such is life.〜
@@X3000Chan in this life.
the garden is amazing
“This is the formal dining room, I’m sure there have been amazing dinner parties” yeah...wondering who was serving the food... I find it really interesting how they just don’t talk about the obvious uncomfortable topic in house tours like this
Yea sure I get it but they're trying to sell the house not mention all the bad things that happened in there
Why should they even mention the slavery? If there should be slavery mentioned with every building ever built then most of Italy, Greece, Egypt and surrounding countries would have slavery writen on every single centimeter.
This house has so much character 😍
It's wonderful
Gorgeous!
I lived in Charleston and been in this house before. My father did some of the furnishing.
The garden is my favorite
What a lovely place!
After watching this, I want a tiny home.
AD IS THE BIGGEST TIME PASS I HAVE
Imagine having your midnight snack in that kitchen only to realize you’re not eating alone 👀
Ghosts can't hurt you, might have fun scaring you a little bit though. I'd be more worried about the illegal immigrants and gangs moving in just a few blocks away placed there on purpose by Biden to stir things up.
I’m taking a sip of my wine every time I hear “69 Church” 🍷Cheers!

The Georgian-style Charleston mansion with the square design and all the windows makes it look like a modern mansion. I like the inside folding window shutters.
The story the walls could tell. It is a beautiful house
Buncha slavery. :(

Its beautiful 💖

Probably cost $1000 to build back in 1745... what a return on investment over 275 years!
Haha
Only if the owner was a vampire.
it was cheap and all with all of that free labor.

OMG..The Pool
ironic they called it the "primary" bedroom instead of the master bedroom but completely glossed over the history of enslaved people who likely built that house and where the original owner's wealth came from

@@theopinionisthighqualityopinio Ok wow someone is a little too passionate about slavery. I was responding to the person that said 'wow I love the history of this house'. Saying they love the history romanticizes everything that probably went on there. It is not an agenda to acknowledge the entire history of the house. You're putting words in my mouth saying I want this house demolished along with Rome and Giza. It's like those plantations in the southern united states that white people visit to have their weddings or tour the opulent mansions and they just brush over the horrors that went on there. No one is saying you must tear down Rome or these houses but acknowledge what happened there and stop the ignorance.
@@theopinionisthighqualityopinio Not to mention, this house was owned by owners who happened to own the Fairfield Plantation in Charleston county so there was definitely slavery going on here
