Gracious living spaces extend outdoors to a private walled garden, expansive courtyard and patio, along with two classic Charleston piazzas--ideal for entertaining, dining al fresco or simply enjoying Charleston's year-round lifestyle. Off-street parking for 2 to 3 cars adds a rare convenience in this location. Inside, a welcoming foyer and staircase set the tone for the residence. The chef-inspired kitchen features a La Cornue range, Carrara marble countertops and center island and flows naturally into the dining room, while a sunlit living room is anchored by an original fireplace. The upper floors provide four well-appointed bedrooms and flexible accommodations for family and guests, with a classic Charleston piazza offering an inviting outdoor retreat. Beyond its appeal as a private residence, 46 Pinckney Street presents a compelling investment opportunity. The property is an established, licensed short-term rental under professional management, with $258K in gross rental revenue currently on the books for 2026, a year-end projection of $266K and a 2027 target of approximately $299K. For a second-home owner, the existing rental operation also provides the opportunity to generate income during periods of non-use while retaining the property for personal enjoyment. Few properties combine historic provenance, residential livability, walkability, private outdoor space, coveted off-street parking and income-producing potential in such a desirable downtown Charleston location. The Jacob Rabb House offers the opportunity to own not simply a piece of Charleston history, but a remarkable property positioned for both personal enjoyment and investment.
