A 1998-built triplex in Cannonborough-Elliottborough -- newer construction on a block of 1850s stock. Two separate buildings on one parcel: a detached two-story single house fronting Smith Street (4BR/2BA, 1,486 SF), plus a two-unit building behind, each 3BR/1BA at 1,166 SF. 3,819 SF total, 10 bedrooms, off-street parking. 100% occupied at $13,100/month -- $157,200 of in-place annual rent -- with all three leases written through July 2027. Two blocks to MUSC, a short walk to the College of Charleston, King Street dining and Upper King. DR-2F zoning; two detached buildings on one parcel leave the door open to a future condominium regime. Normalized T12 operating statement, rent roll, tax bill and bound insurance policies available to qualified buyers.
Cannonborough-Elliottborough, located between King Street and the Crosstown (US-17), is a historic and walkable Charleston neighborhood with a tight street grid and a porch-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Spring Street and King Street, where coffee counters, small galleries, and late-night bites keep the sidewalks active. Rows of Charleston single houses mix with restored corner stores and newer infill, giving the blocks a layered, lived-in look. The daily rhythm runs from bakery mornings to patio evenings, with pocket parks and shaded stoops shaping the pace. Community pillars include Xiao Bao Biscuit, Sugar Bakeshop, and The Commodore.
