Fort Sumter House began its existence as the Fort Sumter Hotel, which opened to guests in 1924. The 7-story building is located along the South Battery, directly adjacent to White Point Garden. At its inception, it was the tallest building, as well as the only luxury hotel on the Charleston Peninsula. Famous guests include John F. Kennedy, Tennessee Williams, and Irene Selznick. The Fort Sumter Hotel closed in 1973 and the building was converted to luxury condominiums.

Fort Sumter House has recently undergone an extensive and transformative $4.5 million renovation, solidifying itself as a premier location to call home in Charleston. Step into a more gracious era in the grand lobby. Hallways feature handsome black and white images of the Holy City’s most charming architecture. Amenities include a private, palmetto tree-lined pool along the Battery, passenger and freight elevators, on-site security, laundry facilities, and an exercise room. Everything you need and desire is waiting for you in this movie-in ready luxury condo for sale.
