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.
