About This Home

As of April 2021

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a fully functioning, legal Bed & Breakfast inside of the crosstown in downtown Charleston. Since obtaining the license two years ago the property has continued to attract guests from around the globe to generate additional income. The original architectural elements along with the newly updated design features have created a comfortable and stylish setting. The high ceilings and archways create a sense of volume and flow throughout the property. You will also notice the abundance of natural sunlight that brightens many of the rooms. The fireplace facades, wood flooring and traditional double piazzas at the front of the house (please reference agent notes) lend to the sophistication and charm this property offers.The Clover House Bed & Breakfast is located in Elliotborough which is in close proximity to many social activities along with easy access to the surrounding colleges, universities and hospitals. Although, the property appears to be a single family detached home it actually consists of two units- one downstairs and one upstairs.
