Here's a peek inside!
One of the oldest houses on East Battery in Charleston is for sale.
This stunning antebellum mansion hasn’t been on the market in five generations. Now, the 7,500-square-foot, six-bedroom home is currently listed by William Means Real Estate for $6.95 million, and we can all get a peek inside.
The Shackleford-Williams “wooden dwelling house with two outbuildings” was built in 1837, likely by wharf merchant James Shackleford. Since then it has survived the Civil War and multiple natural disasters.
