Jodhpur Cottage

JODHPUR COTTAGE - Built in approximately 1920 as guest quarters on One Acre Farm, the Winter Colony estate of Joseph Harriman, President of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Jodhpur Cottage is located in one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Historic District. A short walk from Aiken's unique downtown, it is also just around the corner from the sand roads and training tracks of the Horse District.

While historic from the exterior, the interior is thoroughly up-to-date. The aluminum siding was stripped from the outside and the original heart pine siding was sanded and resorted. The newer portions have HardiPlank clapboard siding. The windows were replaced with custom-made Andersen solid wood, vinyl coated units. All walls and ceilings have been thoroughly insulated, and in most rooms new drywall has been installed. Both exterior and interior doors are new, including the mahogany front door.

Step inside and you will find three large bedrooms, each with its own brand new, full bathroom. The master bath is done in tumbled travertine marble and features both a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. Note the walk-in closet in the master bedroom, not often a feature available in cottages.

You will also discover a living room with a gas outlet in the fireplace. There is a formal dining room and a large kitchen with custom-crafted cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Solid granite countertops and Velux skylights may make this your favorite room. The kitchen island has room for stools for guests and informal meals.

Walk out the French doors in the kitchen to a private deck just right for sunbathing or entertaining. The fully landscaped back garden includes a sprinkler system and a completely rebuilt garden workshop. Jodhpur Cottage is offered at $499,500 Contact owner/agent Lee Hedlund.   For more information click here to email
