Here's your chance to enjoy convenience, history and charm in Aiken, SC! ''Badger Cottage'' is an Aiken Winter Colony classic, built in 1890. The home is a Queen Anne shingle-sided design, a favorite in New England in the late 19th century. Winter Colony newcomers from the northeast brought this whimsical architecture to Aiken. The cottage's fish-scale shingles, large covered porch, octagonal turret, and distinctive gambrel roof contribute to its status as a ''significant property'' in Aiken's Historic District. This handsome residence is conveniently located on Aiken's prestigious Hayne Avenue, only three blocks to downtown shops and restaurants on Laurens Street. The front porch and the foyer create a spacious and welcoming entry for you and your guests. Large living and dining rooms display wide doorways, tall light-filled windows, corner fireplaces, and beautiful wood floors. A sunny service room overlooking the backyard could also serve as an office or playroom. The main level also includes a den (or office) with a half-bath. The traditional kitchen has a U-shaped work area as well as a bay-window breakfast area. The kitchen leads to a wide deck above the rear lawn, offering opportunities for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. ''Badger Cottage'' presents four bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the second floor. The master suite includes a delightful sunroom with gorgeous views of the backyard, the deck, and the terrace. The outstanding yard is vibrant with tall camellias, tea olives and crepe myrtles on a level landscaped lot of more than 1/3 acre. Azaleas bloom beneath grand live oaks.
