Property Description
Welcome to 3030 Brownell, a property that doesn't just offer a home - it dares you to build a legacy. Perched on a half-acre canvas just one block from the pristine shores of Sullivans Island, where the whispers of the Lowcountry meet the roar of opportunity. It's a chance to craft a modern masterpiece atop a WWII-era bunker, a fortress of concrete and steel that could anchor a residence rivaling the most coveted estates on South Carolina's coast. This is a visionary's playground. The 5,000 sq. ft. bunker, with its 15-foot-thick walls and unyielding structure, sits 20' above sea level, proven hurricane resistant through Hurricane Hugo when neighboring homes crumbled.
