Thistle Cottage, built in 1922, presents an elegant home with exquisite gardens, privately sited behind a brick wall at 338 Fairfield Street SE in Aiken, South Carolina's coveted historic district. Discover the charming atmosphere of this Winter Colony cottage and its prime location just 2 blocks from The Willcox and Aiken's Horse District, and within close proximity to Aiken's lively downtown shops and restaurants. Upon entering through the front gate, you will encounter a well-established garden featuring brick walkways and circular terraces. The spacious living room (27 ft x 14 ft) with a gas-insert fireplace is perfect for gatherings, while the dining room sets the stage for intimate dinner parties. A sunroom adjacent to the living room overlooks the lush side garden and opens to a large, covered porch, expanding your living and entertaining areas. This historic home boasts architectural elements such as Hitchcock ceilings, heart pine floors, wainscoting, original transoms, built-in cabinetry, bookshelves, and restored windows, including cathedral and diamond style windows in the living room. The kitchen features a central island, a breakfast nook, ample counter and cabinet space, and modern LG appliances. The primary suite at the back of the house includes a sitting room, a renovated bath, and three closets, one of which is a room-sized walk-in. Guests will appreciate the separate spacious guest bedroom. A back hall functions as a mud/laundry room with access to a new pantry and utility closet. Outside, a detached Office/Studio with a new mini-split system awaits. Nuts & Bolts include a 2021 roof, 2018 HVAC system, whole house generator, and termite contract. An attic and basement with interior access provide convenient storage and service space. The expansive side lawn and garden offer ample room for recreation and gatherings, with a delightful brick patio connecting the covered porch and primary sunroom, creating a sunny spot for relaxation. The property includes a gated entrance to a side gravel driveway for off-street parking and is fully enclosed for pets. For the sporting life, options for golf, tennis, and boarding stables are nearby, while Sunday polo matches at Whitney Field and Aiken's cultural, and arts venues are just a short distance away. Whether as a primary or seasonal residence, Thistle Cottage at 338 Fairfield Street SE is a must-see gem.
