Top to bottom renovation to this 1880's Charleston Cottage! Inside you'll find a wide open kitchen/living room with exposed beam ceiling and continuous hardwood flooring throughout. The timeless kitchen design features navy cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances and matte gold pendants that accent bar seating. The side piazza overlooks a fenced yard and gravel driveway with room to park a golf cart. Also known as ''Freedman's Cottages,'' these compact dwellings are similar to a Charleston single: one-room wide with side piazzas, central fireplaces and a gable roof. Constructed to fulfill housing needs for former slaves and immigrants, they are a poignant reflection of Charleston's history, and situated minutes from the city's best dining and shopping and entertainment!
