3 Senate St, Charleston, SC 29403

Freedman's cottages are one-story dwellings with side piazzas, sometimes described by architectural historians as a subset of the Charleston single house. Indeed, they appear at first glance to be a one-story version of this well-studied architectural type. As property values soar all across Charleston's peninsula, these freedman's cottages are increasingly threatened by demolition to make room for new, more upscale modern housing, but we have saved this one. Construction is Underway to save this marvelous piece of history while at the same time bring it into the 21st century. This home will have all 21st century materials and amenities. The exterior of this home will have hardy plank / cement siding to withstand the elements better while still keeping the same ascetic of wood siding. The home will also be fitted with new energy efficient windows and doors. Inside there will be VAULTED ceilings with decorative beams that were salvaged from the home. These are to be reinstalled in the kitchen and living room areas. The kitchen will be new with all the modern convinces you could wish for with an open flow to the living room. The OVERSIZED Master bedroom will have a large walk-in closet. There is also a second bedroom addition that will make this home more livable to allow for a guest bedroom or an office. This home just SITS a block and a half from Hampton Park. Get in today so you can make further upgrades that are on you wish list. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY A FEW OPPORTUNITIES TO OWN A COMPLETELY UPDATED PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY. The home was finished when sold.
