Property Description

19 Ashton Street is a rare opportunity to own a comprehensively restored Freedman's Cottage in Charleston's sought-after Westside neighborhood. Rich in historic character yet thoughtfully rebuilt for modern living, this residence stands apart from other cottages of its kind due to the extent of its structural renovation. The home was completely lifted and rebuilt with an elevated, walk-under foundation, all-new piers, hurricane strapping, ties, and anchors installed per structural engineer specifications--an uncommon and highly valuable improvement that offers long-term peace of mind, added functionality, and superior protection from foundational issues that often affect comparable properties. Unlike many historic cottages that remain close to grade, 19 Ashton has been over-engineered andmeticulously reconstructed from the ground up. The exterior improvements further enhance the property's appeal, including a new standing seam metal roof, new masonry steps with iron railing, horizontal wood louvers between masonry piers, and carefully executed finish details that respect the home's historic roots while elevating its overall presentation. As a Freedman's Cottage, the home carries important historical significance, reflecting a notable piece of Charleston's architectural and cultural heritage, while offering buyers the benefit of a truly turnkey restoration with the infrastructure and integrity rarely found in similar historic homes.
