The three-story brick and stucco building, with its steep pitched hip roof, was constructed in the early 1800s and holds unique living and entertaining spaces, two kitchens, five spacious bedrooms, and four bathrooms. It is important to note that the unit has a special exception accommodation use which is grandfathered with the property . This zoning variance is incredibly rare which is not typically granted for a unit of this size and location. Short term rentals in Charleston are primarily in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough subdivision further north and subject to a constantlychanging checklist on renewal forms, increasing fees , and city fire marshal inspections. The approved accommodation use license is a yearly form to be paid once a year to the city without all the red tape and confusion of a short term rental. In addition the listing generates far more revenue than an STR due to its uniqueness, furnishings, location in the french quarter, and bza zoning approval. The ground floor's shop space is occupied by upscale restaurant slightly north of broad. Above, three stories of historic character await, boasting original wide, richly colored heart pine floors and beautiful exposed Charleston grey brick with an intricate Flemish bonding pattern. The living room and second floor bedrooms feature historic nine over nine windows that flood in light and offer views of the city's historic Cooper River waterfront area and the French Quarter. The main living area has ample seating for entertaining, a cozy custom bar area, and dining space. The principal kitchen has herringbone tiled backsplash, stone countertops, stainless appliances, and blue painted custom cabinetry, with an adjacent stackable washer and drier provide. The second story holds three large bedrooms that can sleep multiple guests each. The bedrooms have cozy sitting areas perfect for reading, and built in bookshelves in the warm colored historic brick walls. The garret bedroom offers rooftops views from the dormer windows and features a sloped roof with original exposed rafter beams, an ensuite bathroom, and an efficient kitchen space with dark stone countertops, bright white cabinetry, plenty of storage, sink, and a fridge. The bathrooms have marble tiled walk-in showers with custom glass surrounds and restoration grade fixtures. The multi-story stair hall is a fabulous architectural feature with stairs made of salvaged lumber, and a skylight that brings in warm natural light. A historic pully system hints at the building's maritime industrial heritage and suspends a custom light fixture. At the top floor, a special surprise awaits- a reading nook with a glass floor overlooking the stair hall. This property is the perfect blend of freshly renovated, up to date interiors intermingled with historic ambience. The two-hundred-year-old building sits at the corner of Faber and East Bay Streets at what was the center of the city's historic maritime shipping industry, along the Cooper River waterfront. Tall-masted ships once docked right next to 192 East Bay to load rice and cotton for export. Walk a block into the French Quarter to encounter cobblestone streets, historic churches, and crepe myrtle-lined blocks of historic houses and art galleries. The hotel is perfect for visitors who want to feel as if they stepped back in time
