Looking for that perfect investment property? Look no further than 162 Spring Street: a turnkey investment asset featuring twelve bedrooms, ten bathrooms, seven off-street parking spaces, and a triple-net-leased restaurant in the heart of Charleston's STR overlay. On pace for over $400,000 in gross revenue! Approximately 5,881 square feet across three separate buildings. All furniture and fixtures included in the sale . The property transfers with a proven rental revenue history and a sitting commercial tenant.The front building includes two, 2BR/2BA STR-licensed condos positioned behind a fully leased NNN commercial space. (Three units total)The middle building is a 4BR/3BA single-family home built in 2018.The perfect house to own downtown, that doesn't come with the deferred maintenance of a 100 year old historic home.The last building on the property is another 4BR/3BA home of matching construction vintage, equally equipped for short-term rental performance. Cannonborough-Elliotborough is the most-watched submarket on the peninsula -- Michelin-starred operators (Vern's, Chez Nous), independent retail along Spring and Upper King, and a guest demographic that skews higher-income and longer-stay than the City Market tourist corridor. The opportunity to acquire four fully licensed and operating short-term-rentals PLUS a restaurant space is a rare find here in Charleston.
Peninsula West, located between the Ashley River and the Crosstown (US-17), is a historic and waterfront Charleston neighborhood with a working-harbor edge and a pocket-park rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Spring Street corridor near the Ashley River bridges, where coffee counters, design studios, and small galleries share the sidewalks with marine and light-industrial backdrops. The Citadel anchors the streetscape with parade-ground formality and limestone facades, while Hampton Park’s broad lawns set a slower pace nearby. Cannonborough-Elliot’s restored single houses and porches blend into newer infill and converted warehouses. Bike lanes and short blocks link marinas, breweries, and the Medical District. Sunsets track the riverfront, with marsh views peeking between rooftops.
