Offering 1,928 square feet, the property is currently configured as professional office space but remains zoned residential. The main structure features spacious rooms, high ceilings, and preserved architectural details consistent with its historic roots. Behind the main building sits a separate 1,000 square foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU), ideal for guest quarters, long-term rental, or short-term rental potential (buyer to verify STR eligibility). The property includes five off-street parking spaces --a rare amenity downtown -- and is conveniently located within walking distance to the Cigar Factory, Big Bad Breakfast, local restaurants, and neighborhood amenities. This is a unique opportunity to own a versatile historic property in Charleston's rapidly growing Eastside neighborhood with residential, investment, or mixed-use potential.
