It is currently operating as a 4-unit luxury vacation rental known as the Charleston Chestnut Mansion, but could also be utilized for long term rentals or a variety of other commercial uses. Each of the four fully equipped residential units has its own private entrance and is beautifully appointed with high quality materials and appliances.

Suite 301 makes up the entire third floor (renovated in 2016). This suite is approx. 2,137 SF and has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The building is conveniently located near some of Charleston's best restaurants, shopping, art galleries, and parks. Originally two separate buildings, the property has been renovated and combined into one. The original building (located at 241 East Bay St) was constructed in 1871, and underwent a historic rehabilitation in 1986, at which point the contemporary addition to the north (located at 243 East Bay Street) was constructed and joined to the original edifice by a stucco and glass hyphen. The entire building underwent a second significant historical renovation by the current owner from 2015 - 2021, which included new mechanical systems, a comprehensive security system, new or newly refurbished windows, new interior noise-dampening thermal storm windows, and repairs to the standing seam metal roof and exterior stucco. Interior renovations began in 2016 with the upper floors and were finalized in 2019 and 2021 with the completion of the two first floor suites. Since completion of the renovations, both the exterior and interior of the building have been meticulously maintained.
