Step inside this beautifully renovated 1885 Freedman's Cottage (complete with a Carolopolis award) and imagine your new downtown life! The signature red metal roof and side porch entrance exude Charleston charm. This home was completely renovated in 2019. It has everything one could want in a home downtown: beautiful historic charm with a modern renovation, parking, and a back yard. Once inside you will be greeted by the show-stopping original brick fireplace and 14' vaulted ceilings complete with wood beams. The lovely kitchen is adorned with white shaker-style soft close cabinets and drawers, handmade Spanish tile backsplash, marble countertops, and a touch-activated faucet. Original heart pine flooring was refinished in both the living room and kitchen. The rest of the flooring ishistoric grade heart pine. The shiplapped hallway leads to two bedrooms as well as two updated full bathrooms. Both of the bedrooms are light filled and well-sized. The primary bedroom has plenty of privacy at the back of the home. You will find ample space in the hall bathroom which boasts a walk-in frameless shower that is completely tiled. The master bathroom has a shower/tub combination with more Spanish tile and a marble backsplash. All closets have great storage from floor to ceiling.
As for outdoors, you will enjoy your own low-maintenance retreat! You will not only enjoy the beautiful porch, but the backyard as well. This lot was finished with a privacy fence and a hardscaped brick-lined patio complete with refreshed landscaping. Parking is not an issue as this home has its own driveway.
The Preservation Society of Charleston has given this home the esteemed Carolopolis Award. This award recognizes "exceptional projects that protect the historic resources of Charleston" and has very high standards for the homes it is issued to. If you are looking for a beautiful historic home with modern flair, this is it!
