Property Description
The main residence offers approximately 4,979 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, complemented by a 770-square-foot guest cottage with two separate-entry one-bedroom, one-bath suites. Combined, the property totals approximately 5,749 square feet, 6 bedrooms, and 7 baths, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, caretaker quarters, or potential rental income — a highly sought Downtown Aiken feature.
Exceptionally maintained and solidly constructed, the property reflects pride of ownership and intentional design, offering privacy, flexibility, and an elevated yet welcoming lifestyle. Built with Hardiplank-type siding and durable quality materials, the home balances refinement and comfort. Interior features include volume ceilings, substantial moldings, plantation shutters, designer windows, and predominantly hardwood flooring. Architectural highlights such as Hitchcock ceilings, pressed metal accents, and a hand-painted living room ceiling add warmth and character. Open living areas and both formal and informal dining spaces create natural flow.
Double rocking-chair porches with newer low-maintenance ceramic tile capture classic Southern porch living. A residential elevator services ground through third floor, supporting long-term accessibility.
The chef's kitchen is designed for entertaining and everyday living, featuring custom furniture-quality cabinetry with hidden conveniences and premium appliances including a Thermador 6-burner gas range with griddle, main and half ovens, solid walnut hood, two Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezers with furniture-style fronts, two Bosch dishwashers, Scotsman ice maker, and two large sinks, one overlooking the pool courtyard. Expansive granite counters, a large island with seating, and walk-in pantry complete the space.
The primary suite offers a serene retreat with a spacious bedroom and light-filled office overlooking the pool courtyard. The redesigned primary bath features an oversized custom tile shower with built-in bench and multiple showerheads, block glass accent window, custom cabinetry with Murano glass knobs, seated vanity with concealed storage, bidet, and custom closet system. Upper-level built-ins include a linen and utility center with hidden sink and microwave.
Outdoor living is a signature feature with a covered rear porch overlooking a resort-style pool courtyard featuring a custom Gunite saltwater pool with pebble finish, water features, heating, and sun shelf. An outdoor shower adds convenience. Both the main home and cottage include private patios, creating multiple outdoor gathering areas.
Professionally designed grounds include curated landscaping, hardscape, irrigation, uplighting, fenced areas, and a gated entrance with electric opener.
The lower level adds versatility with an oversized two-car garage, extensive storage, utility rooms, finished flex space suitable as an additional bedroom or guest suite with fireplace and nearby bath access, plus a dedicated workout room. This level is accessible by stairs and elevator. The main house includes two laundry rooms, while the cottage offers its own. Additional features include a fire suppression system (currently disabled by owner) and exterior camera security.
Enjoy convenient access to downtown shops, equestrian culture, and events such as Amp the Alley. This exceptional Historic Downtown Aiken property blends grace, comfort, security, and thoughtful design.
