Introducing a truly one-of-a-kind property on Sullivan’s Island, SC! This incredibly rare and unique 7000 sq.ft. residence is no ordinary real estate sale. It is a piece of American History. Originally part of the Harbor Defense of Charleston during World War II, this property served as Battery 520 of the Marshall Military Reservation. Built in 1942 and located just one block from the coast, this home sits on over half an acre of prime real estate on one of South Carolina’s most desired residential beaches.
Ripe with fascinating history, this property stands on the ruins of Revolutionary War and U.S. Civil War posts. At 20’ above sea level, this coastal gun battery overlooks Breach Inlet in Charleston harbor. The batter location was part of the Marshal Military Reservation and the advance guard preparing for the Revolutionary Battle of Sullivan’s Island. The location later served as a defense post during World War II, hosting two massive 12-foot long-range rifles.
After its deactivation in 1947, the battery bunker was converted into a residential property in 1972. Today, it hosts four large bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and 11-foot ceilings, all within a structure boasting 15-foot thick walls and steel reinforcement beams. The design includes an indoor hallways leading to spacious living quarters, a sunken patio that once operated as a home soaking spa and a roof adorned with a metal rendering of a Wahoo Fish.
Designed for War, the property enjoys incredible protection from hurricane-force winds and inclement weather that this concrete home provides, as well as immunity to termite damage.
If you are a history buff, a lover of unique homes, or simply someone looking for a stunning coastal property, this is a must-see! Do not miss your chance to own a piece of Charleston’s rich history!
