Disher, Hamrick & Myers Residential Real Estate proudly announces that Broker Associate Douglas Berlinsky has successfully represented the buyers in the purchase of the most expensive home ever sold in historic downtown Charleston, SC. The iconic pink property, located at 5 East Battery, is a stunning example of Charleston's architectural heritage and has set a new benchmark in the local real estate market.
The magnificent residence, known as the John Ravenel House, is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of Charleston's historic homes. Built in the 1848, the traditional single house boasts over 9000 square feet of living space in 8 bedrooms and 8 and a half baths, plus a carriage house guest quarters. The home recently completed a multi-year full restoration that preserved the original intricate moldings, hardwood floors, period fixtures, and expansive piazzas with their breathtaking views of Charleston Harbor. Outside, the meticulously landscaped gardens and a private pool provide a serene oasis in the heart of the exclusive South of Broad neighborhood.
Of course, negotiating a sale of this magnitude requires the utmost level of professional expertise and discretion. Douglas Berlinsky expressed his excitement: "It has been an absolute privilege to represent the buyers in acquiring such a remarkable property in the heart of historic downtown Charleston. This home is not just a piece of real estate; it's a piece of history. I am thrilled to have played a part in this transaction and I'm excited for the new owners to experience all that this incredible estate has to offer.”
Broker Brown Hamrick also shared his thoughts: “5 East Battery is a jewel in Charleston's historic district, and we're delighted to have facilitated its sale.

Douglas's achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise we bring to every client. At DHM Real Estate, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and results.
