Property Description
Directly across from the Charleston Harbor, 31 East Battery offers a rare opportunity to restore a grand home along High Battery, where you can enjoy breathtaking views from the three-story bay windows and sea breezes from the patio and piazzas. From the Civil War bombardment to natural disasters, the home's interior wood paneling, custom Tiffany-designed features, and other historic details have withstood the test of time and still reflect its original circa 1837 character. The combination of the home's grand interior spaces, water views, iconic setting, and convenient location allow the next owner to create an incomparable restoration like no other in Charleston.
