Traditional Freedman's cottage consisting of two bedrooms (one does not have closet but was used as guest bedroom - due to age house originally had no closets in bedrooms), two baths, and an open living, dining, kitchen design. There is a gorgeous central (decoration-only, not lined) original fireplace with mantels facing both living and dining. Current owner has recently completed a tremendous number of updates including new wiring, new plumbing, new HVAC, refinished floors, new master bathroom, new kitchen cabinets, and the list goes on. Plenty of opportunity to put the 'icing on the cake' with exterior updates and landscape potential left up to the next owner. Property is being sold 'as-is'. But where else do you get a great price and great home where your focus gets to be on the cosmetic touches to make this house your home?!
Freedman cottage located just above the crosstown between Ashley Avenue and President Street. Several surrounding homes have been renovated and this would make a great candidate. Off-street covered parking is a bonus. Home has been in the same family since built and maintains character and charm. With some love and care this hidden gem would really shine.
