    Welcome to the R.C. Salas House located at 78 Society St. This unique property, with a history dating back to the 1880s, is located in the heart of downtown's commercial district. The building is situated along the bustling section of Society Street between Meeting Street and King Street, just a few blocks north of the Charleston Place Hotel.Thoughtfully designed for comfort and charm, this turnkey property features twoseparate units, ideal for investors looking to maximize rental revenue. Importantly, the property benefits from a rare BZAZ variance, which allows for the operation of two legal accommodation units on the property. This is a premier investment property, with a proven track record of short-term rental success on Airbnb and VRBO-(the current owner has operated the property as a self-managed short term rental operation for several years). In addition to two on-site (tandem) parking spaces, the property benefits from an off-site parking easement with the right to use two parking spaces in the adjacent property that are located immediately next to 78 Society St (there is no monthly cost for the use of these spaces and are available 24/7). The downstairs unit sleeps 4 guests with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The upstairs unit sleeps 8 guests with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The entire home accommodates up to 12 guests with a total of 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths. This home features fully equipped kitchens on both levels, 7 fireplaces (not used by owner), charming, enclosed side porches, and a picturesque courtyard in the back. For a creative investor, the rear section of the property may offer an opportunity to expand the structure or build a supplemental building (buyer to study and verify).
