The Tuckaway

Welcome to The Tuckaway, a darling freedman-style cottage tucked just steps from everything downtown Charleston has to offer. With two cozy bedrooms and two full baths, this thoughtfully renovated dwelling melds 19th-century charm with modern comfort, having been lovingly restored in 2008 and cherished ever since as a rental, second home, and vacation retreat. The result is a home full of character and warmth, ideally positioned for those who want the city at their doorstep.
A bright, welcoming kitchen greets you at the front of the home, setting the tone for the cozy spaces within. The heart of the cottage is the wood-lap living room, an inviting gathering place anchored by a charming wine bar tucked beneath the staircase. Gas logs warm cool Lowcountry evenings, while double French windows at the far end open to invite a soft breeze on milder days—a perfect blend of snug and airy.
The primary bedroom offers its own cozy sanctuary nestled behind the fireplace, a quiet retreat at the close of the day. Upstairs, beautifully reclaimed space unfolds into a private hideaway, with a restful second bedroom at the rear of the home and an irresistibly charming full bath set within the front gable.
Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, a home base for exploring the city, or a serene place to settle in for a longer stay, this enchanting pied-à-terre delivers character and convenience in equal measure. Furnishings are negotiable with an acceptable offer.
