Step back in time and experience the unparalleled charm of “The Cottage,” a true gem of Southern history. Built-in 1832 and listed on the National Register of Historic Homes, this 4,000+ square-foot masterpiece is nestled in the heart of Lowndesboro, AL. Situated on a 1.72-acre lot, the property embodies historical significance and enduring appeal. The grounds are adorned with mature fruit trees, a barn, and a quaint China Cottage. The home’s interior has been thoughtfully upgraded to blend modern utility with the timeless elegance of its 1832 origins. The kitchen has undergone extensive restoration, integrating modern amenities while retaining its historic charm. The residence features soaring 12-foot ceilings throughout the first level. A main central hall, true to the home’s original design, serves as the backbone of the layout. The large formal dining room is perfectly suited for hosting grand dinner parties, while the expansive living room, sets the tone for the home’s warm and inviting atmosphere. In 2023, the home received a new metal roof, ensuring durability and protection while maintaining its historical integrity. Unique architectural features include the rare “diaper work” brick chimneys, showcasing a diamond-patterned motif more commonly seen in medieval European structures, additionally, the house is distinguished by its half-gabled “flounder” wings, which extend from each side of the structure. Such features are rare in Alabama, though they are also present at another historic Lowndesboro residence. A deep veranda shades the front of the house, its freestanding pillars positioned well in front of the railed, deck-like veranda offer protection from the south’s harsh climate conditions. The porch itself is referred back to as a “Carolina Porch,” originating from the Carolinas, but a rare find today. Don’t miss your opportunity to own a piece of history.
