About this home
Perfectly positioned just over the Ashley River bridge from Charleston's renowned medical district, 19 Ashton Street offers exceptional convenience to MUSC, Roper Hospital, the Ralph H. Johnson VA Health Care System, and the best of downtown Charleston. Whether you're a physician, medical professional, student, or simply value an unbeatable downtown location, this sought-after Westside address places world-class healthcare, acclaimed restaurants, shopping, and the city's vibrant cultural scene just minutes from your doorstep.19 Ashton Street is a rare opportunity to own a comprehensively restored Freedman's Cottage that seamlessly blends Charleston's rich architectural heritage with the quality and confidence of modern construction. Rich in historic character yet thoughtfully rebuilt fcontemporary living, this residence stands apart from other cottages of its kind due to the extraordinary scope 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, enhanced functionality, and superior protection from the foundational issues that often affect comparable historic homes. Unlike many Freedman's Cottages that remain close to grade, 19 Ashton has been over-engineered and meticulously reconstructed from the ground up.
Exterior improvements further elevate the property's appeal and include a new standing-seam metal roof, new masonry steps with an iron railing, horizontal wood louvers between the masonry piers, and carefully executed architectural details that honor the home's historic roots while enhancing its overall presentation.
As a Freedman's Cottage, the home carries important historical significance, representing a meaningful piece of Charleston's architectural and cultural heritage while offering buyers the rare combination of authentic historic charm and modern structural integrity. Few homes of this era have undergone such an extensive restoration, making 19 Ashton Street a truly turnkey opportunity in one of downtown Charleston's most convenient and rapidly evolving neighborhoods....
