The Cassina Group, a local real estate firm, set a new benchmark with the record breaking sale of 5 East Battery Street. The historic John Ravenel House closed on February 28, 2025, for an unprecedented $18.25 million, shattering previous records in the Charleston Trident MLS. In addition to the contract price of $18.25 million, a separate bill of sale for $3 million was executed for fixtures and select contents within the home, bringing the total transaction to $21.25 million. This bill of sale is documented in the MLS agent notes.
Located on High Battery in the prestigious South of Broad neighborhood, this iconic circa 1848 residence spans approximately 9,407 square feet and offers sweeping, uninterrupted views of Charleston Harbor and Fort Sumter while seamlessly blending historic charm with modern luxury following a meticulous multi-year renovation.
