What a great combination of historic charm and location! This Freedman's cottage has been owned and lived in by the same family for more than twenty years. Great location- walking distance to MUSC, The School of Law, the College and all those great downtown restaurants and stores. Entering the house you walk into the living room with its dramatic double sided gas fireplace that divides the room. The other room that is created by the fireplace wall is used by the current owners as a reading room but it could easily accommodate a dining table. The old heart of pine floors that you find throughout the house make an immediate impression and there is lots of light from the many windows. Historic doesn't mean stuffy though as you'll see from the bright color scheme found in many of the rooms. There is an open kitchen with good storage and counter space. The kitchen features a gas range with an electric convection oven. The kitchen has a breakfast bar and is open to a large dining area which overlooks the backyard deck and garden. Also on the first floor there is a half bath and laundry. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms and two full baths- a perfect set up for roommates. The master also opens up to the private upstairs porch. The entire outside of the house has just been freshly painted. The yard is fully fenced. The front gate can be opened if you would prefer to park off the street. Otherwise it provides a nice courtyard for play or alfresco dining. The backyard is quite deep- plenty of room to garden or even to expand the house if you like. In addition, there is a large storage unit in the back yard that has electricity. Half of the unit is air-conditioned so it provides a great setting for a workshop or artist studio as well as valuable storage. Come see how convenient downtown living can be. And best of all there are no HOA fees. Visit 109 Smith St today.
