Property Description

Welcome home to Cardinal Cottage — a refined private retreat in Aiken's coveted Horse District. This beautifully curated residence blends timeless Southern charm with sophisticated modern living. Thoughtful architectural updates create an expansive, light-filled open floor plan where the living and kitchen spaces flow effortlessly—ideal for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort. A calming palette of soft neutrals enhances the home's natural warmth and cohesion. At the center is a chef-inspired kitchen, designed to impress with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, and premium stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and double oven. The oversized island, complete with a built-in beverage cooler, anchors the space as a natural gathering point. The primary suite is a serene sanctuary, featuring a spa-like bath with a freestanding soaking tub, double vanities, a custom tile shower, and an expansive walk-in closet. The guest bath mirrors this elevated design with its own spacious custom tile shower. A well-appointed laundry room offers generous storage and functionality. Seamless indoor-outdoor living awaits in the 300 sq. ft. fully screened porch, highlighted by a handcrafted brick, wood-burning fireplace. French doors from the primary suite, ceiling fans, and year-round usability make this inviting space an exceptional setting for quiet mornings or evening gatherings, and will provide countless hours of peace and joy. Set on a lush, fully fenced lot, the grounds are a gardener's paradise, showcasing mature azaleas, crepe myrtles, roses, hydrangeas, blueberry bushes, ginger lilies, fig, orange, and magnolia trees, camelias, holly, and more. The freshly painted, fully fenced yard offers privacy and tranquility abound. Recent upgrades include new windows, updated electrical panel, tankless water heater, new roof, refinished hardwood floors, and freshly painted interiors throughout. With abundant storage, attic access, and meticulous maintenance, the home is truly turnkey. A recent home inspection is available upon request.
