Step into Charleston history with this exceptional 1890s Freedman's Cottage, meticulously restored and re-imagined for modern living. Renovated down to the studs in 2008, this one-of-a-kind home preserves its historic soul with original exposed brick, heart pine floors, and tongue-and-groove paneling--uncovered and lovingly preserved during the renovation. The light-filled, open-concept living and dining areas are anchored by a thoughtfully redesigned kitchen that blends seamlessly into the historic framework, offering both beauty and functionality for daily living or entertaining. A spacious eat-in kitchen flows effortlessly into a full side porch--perfect for enjoying Charleston evenings.Energy efficiency meets charm, with spray-foam insulation throughout, a new HVAC system (2024), and a tankless water heater. Enjoy morning coffee on the wide front piazza, or take advantage of the extra-wide tabby and brick driveway offering tandem parking for two vehicles. Whether you're looking for a charming primary residence, stylish pied-à-terre, or income-producing 30+ day rental (previously rented furnished for $5,500/month +), this historic home checks every box. This unique property is truly a must-see where timeless character meets smart design and unbeatable location. Located within walking distance to MUSC, Hampton Park, and some of Charleston's best dining and shopping, with easy access to I-26.
