Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
The Rutledge Ave Inn is an operating five-unit bed and breakfast at 194-196 Rutledge Avenue in Charleston. The 4,300-square-foot property occupies 0.2 acres and combines a 1910 main house with a detached cottage constructed in 2008. The main residence underwent a down-to-the-studs renovation in 2008 and contains four rental units: two two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath units and two one-bedroom, one-bath units. Central air, natural gas, and electric heating support the improvements.
The two-level cottage provides a separate two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence with a private fenced yard and back porch. It is set back from the street and functions as a distinct component of the property. The site is within Charleston’s Short-Term Rental Overlay. Qualification for bed-and-breakfast or short-term-rental use requires the operator to maintain the property as a primary residence.
