Listing Details

Rare opportunity to renovate and restore a historic Charleston residence in the heart of downtown. Situated on the corner of Pinckney Street and Motley Lane, 18 Pinckney offers classic Charleston character with its traditional two-story facade, tall windows, side piazza and commanding corner presence. Just a short walk from Market Street, restaurants, shopping and the many attractions of the Historic District, the location is exceptional. Currently configured with separate entrances to the first and second floors, the property offers tremendous flexibility for a buyer looking to create two residential units or an owner-occupied home with rental income, or a live/work arrangement. The first floor provides approximately 1,118 square feet, with an additional 1,280 square feet upstairs.

The property is being offered as a fixer-upper, allowing the next owner to thoughtfully renovate while preserving its historic charm and tailoring the interiors to their own vision. Its Limited Business zoning provides additional possibilities, while residential rental use is permitted. A former commercial kitchen, including a hood and grease trap, remains in place. For a buyer looking for historic architecture, renovation potential and a highly walkable downtown location, 18 Pinckney Street is an opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind Charleston home.
