Fort Sumter House

Originally built as a hotel in 1923, the Fort Sumter House sits on the corner of King Street and Murray Boulevard on The Battery in historic downtown Charleston. Boasting spectacular views of White Point Gardens (aka Battery Park), The Battery, and its namesake Fort Sumter out in the Charleston Harbor, the historic neighborhood was converted to condos in 1974. Many of the condos at Fort Sumter House have been subsequently renovated, with modern features including granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 9-foot ceilings, and wide windows offering stunning views of the harbor and adjacent park. Some of the units also feature private terraces so that residents can enjoy watching the sailboats lazily make their way down the Intracoastal Waterway as they head out to sea. The Fort Sumter House homeowners enjoy a convenient location that is within walking distance to the numerous restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries along Broad, King, and East Bay Streets. Community amenities include parking for two, an in-ground swimming pool with magnificent views of the harbor, elevators, and easy access to White Point Gardens. The Battery also features walking and jogging trails, as well as space for rollerblading, picnicking, socializing, and relaxing with friends. Read More
