Property Description
Originally constructed in 1890, this classic Freedman's cottage underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2016, blending historic character with modern infrastructure. The single-story residence spans over 1,400 square feet and maintains a functional 3 BR, 2 BA floor plan in the heart of downtown Charleston and is nestled within walking distance of Spring St restaurant hot spots as well as the downtown hospital district. The home's interior preserves original architectural details such as beadboard wainscoting, decorative transom windows that allow natural light transfer between rooms, high 10+ foot ceilings, exposed rafter beams, and beautiful historic wood flooring. The exposed brick fireplace serves as a central focal point, anchoring the living space in the home's 19th-century origins.A private driveway provides off-street parking to stack 2 vehicles as well as an EV charger. The rear of the home is a relaxation oasis and includes a nice deck to enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine, stone patio, fountain, and established mature plantings. An irrigation system services the entire landscape. The single level configuration, desirable and rare for the area, provides efficient flow throughout the entire home. The primary suite features two walk-in closets as well as ensuite bathroom with dual vanity and spacious multi head shower.
