Located in Hampton Park Terrace, this masterfully restored Freedman Cottage is the oldest remaining structure north of the crosstown dating back to William H Murray in 1893. The home retains its historical charm but was thoroughly renovated in 2012 by contractor Marc Engelke. The Preservation Society of Charleston awarded the home the Carolopolis award in 2013. Updates include new electric, plumbing, gas, HVAC, hurricane/earthquake/fire protection upgrades and more. A covered front porch overlooks the side yard and inside, the floor plan is filled with beautifully preserved original features including exposed brick, heart pine ceiling beams and antique heart pine floors. Vaulted ceilings make the living space seem light and airy with a central exposed brick fireplace. The renovatedkitchen has been modernized with DuraSupreme cabinets, stainless appliances, granite counters and a gas oven hood. The master bedroom has an en suite bath with a subway tile shower and penny tile flooring, while the guest bedroom has access to a hall bath with a claw foot tub. Outside, the backyard is fenced with lush landscaping and a brick, stone, and concrete patio--the perfect spot for outdoor entertaining. Walking distance to Hampton Park, local restaurants and more. The home is located in a X flood zone, so no flood insurance is required.
