13 & 15 east battery street

Lovingly restored over an 8-year period by the current owners, this iconic Charleston estate is offered for the first time in almost 60 years.Rated as ''excellent'' for architectural significance, this fine mansion was built in 1845 as the home of the Ravenel family until the late 1930s. It has only had two owners since. Considered one of the grandest on High Battery, with the clearest view of Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. Along with its original outbuildings, the house has been meticulously preserved following the extensive interior and exterior renovation by the current owner. The second floor drawing room, boasting 12' to 14' ceilings, may be the largest in the city, running the entire width of the house with fireplaces at either end, offering commanding views.
