The Bed&Breakfast is professionally managed by StayDuvet and operates as high-end short term rental units. The Seller currently occupies one of the units as their primary residence in order to qualify as a Bed & Breakfast, which the next owner would need to do if they wanted to continue to do short-term rentals.
Currently, the Seller occupies Unit D as their primary residence; with the four operational units, the property grosses over $300,000 annually.
The Property's central location in the Cannonborough Elliotborough neighborhood lends itself to being within ½ a mile of King Street, and a few blocks from MUSC and College of Charleston campuses. Additionally, this 'foodie' neighborhood boasts some of the best restaurants in the City including Vern's, Chubby Fish, Southbound, Xiao Bao, R Kitchen and more.
The opportunity lends itself to a variety of investment approaches such as Bed&Breakfast, long term rentals, executive rentals, condo conversion or other repositioning avenues.
All FF&E is negotiable.
4 of 5 of the units are rented out on a nightly basis, therefore showings will be limited and available at the most convenient days/times of the property bookings.
