Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1843, this 15,699-square-foot Greek Revival double house combines residential character with an established hospitality component. The property remains configured for use as a private residence or as the Battery Carriage Inn, an 11-room fully licensed and grandfathered inn. Restoration work preserves significant architectural elements, including plaster cornices, Greek Revival columns, decorated door surrounds, and an oval staircase with an Empire newel post. Later additions include a fourth-floor library and a 25-by-40-foot ballroom with Second Empire detailing.

At 20 S Battery Street, the property occupies a deep lot across from White Point Garden at the tip of Charleston’s Peninsula. A landscaped Charleston garden extends toward the original kitchen house and provides views of the Ashley River, Fort Sumter, and the surrounding Peninsula. The mixed-use configuration supports continued residential occupancy, hospitality operations, or a combination of both, subject to applicable requirements.
