Gay Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s Charleston Waterfront Mansion

Yep, he's gay!! 😁 🤣

Impressive guy! Great looking as well .

It's a very nice house, but a middling nice house by Charleston standards. There are earlier and bigger houses that far outshine this one. It does have a superb location of you like harbor/ocean views; and if the place is exposed bare-assed to the epicenter of tourists, inside all is calm and there are private gardens behind high walls.

The decor and some if the interior fittings are a bit dated and underwhelming to say the least, but nothing a fresh start on paint and furniture wouldn't fix easily.

Is there enough sage in the world to de-stinkify the place? Probably

Not only is he stupid, he’s also tacky.

Embarrassingly, I recognize the Ravenel name from Bravo's Southern Charm.

This guy is not handsome and he doesn't seem like a good guy - obviously he's on the Trump team.

What's hilarious - he used to be a senior person at George Soros' firm. Y'know, Soros - the liberal billionaire supposedly in charge of everything according to the right wing shitstains?

He's a good looking guy.

No posting history, r2?

It's nice. Charleston and gay appropriate.

I abhor Bessent's politics and lies to the American people. I think the house is lovely (a little overdecorated, but not offensively). I can walk and chew gum.

Realtor say, gardener there redesign White House Rose Garden? It's all the Fake News. I, Melania make the plan. After all, garden just like the architecture, and who know more about the architecture, hmm? Did you get VISA from the Einstein? No. Just like I writing best-selling book. Now available for you frugal Log Cabin gay peoples on clearance at Aldi.

Regardless of who he works for, he really is a good looking man. I'd hit it.

I hate that orange room.

The whole house and all the furnishings are FUCKING HIDEOUS!

Comparing the rooms to the best boutique hotels isn't imaginative or re-assuring.

Piss Elegance is rarely actually elegant.

That all looks like the home of a woman who fancied herself a "grande dame" of the Southern elite, and who died in 1993, aged 98.

And then exploded.

Looks a little frou-frou.

It looks a LITTLE frou-frou R17????

My favorite part of the house is that balcony with the water view. Plus, it’s just about as big as my whole apartment.

Not my taste, but I agree with r19. The balcony is sweet

Is Bessent posting in this thread trying to convince us all that he's a very handsome man?

Does anyone have contact info for his interior designer?

[quote] four full bars for entertaining and personal use, plenty of wine storage,

Why would you need four bars?

Why wouldn't you need four bars? (hic)

It's a bit to twee or frou frou for me. Maybe Lady Fairford would approve.

Why is it built sideways to the water? So your views are diminished? Those crazy kids down south.

R2 please kill yourself.

Charleston is in a flood plain, I imagine facing the water would be even worse.

How? What? The elevation is the same.

Comes in handy on Thanksgiving to separate the in-laws.

Maybe they taxed based on street frontage like NOLA.

OP, you forgot to add "Tasteful Friends" to the thread title.

Handsome?

Um, he looks like as if someone put the nelliest parts of Tim Gunn and Lindseybelle Graham into a blender and then poured that into human form.

Sorry, but no.

I'm sure it's a running joke in Charleston that the "Big Pink House" is owned by a gay guy.

R34 has never been to Charleston.

"Oh stop it Scott. You'll give yourself a nosebleed."
