Standing like a beacon on a corner lot in historic Beaufort, this home of understated elegance overlooks the waters of Taylors Creek and beyond to the expanses of the ocean. Gentle breezes from the southwest bring the smell of the sea and marsh to your door. Dolphins play in the creek and ponies of Spanish descent forage on the grasses of Carrot Island just across the way. From sunrise to sunset the Carolina blue skies grace your day as you decide whether to go fishing, walking on the sandy beaches, strolling on the wide boardwalks, touring the historic grounds of old Beaufort or just relaxing on the front porch. What a dilemma!
The southern style two story home with double porches replicates the look of the old historic homes of Beaufort but with all the modern conveniences you wish for today. As you enter the front door, you step on wide plank heart pine floors that have mellowed with age and tender care. Walls of Cyprus help absorb the noises of everyday living and entertaining. The open design gives you free access from the living and music areas to the dining and kitchen areas. Every woman will love the kitchen with Sub Zero Refrigerator and freezer, Viking cook top and Viking built in ovens plus an ice maker in the bar area.
Lots of storage is here for all of your entertaining and dining needs. The kitchen also accommodates a small dining area. A first floor bedroom and private bath, back entry foyer and half bath complete the first floor.
The second floor master bedroom covers the eastern side of the home and has a spacious bath with separate tub and shower enclosure with marble
surrounds. It also has a cozy sitting are for those times when you want your privacy or just to escape and curl up with a good book. The guest room overlooks the waterfront and also has its own private bath. A large office or study area ample enough to accommodate two desks completes the second floor. There is a pull down stairway accessing attic storage with two rooms that are heated and cooled for storing your items. One room is cedar lined and also has cedar shelving which makes a perfect spot for off season apparel. The mechanical room in the attic is not heated or cooled.
Stepping on the back porch gives you several options. One side has a screened porch to enjoy outside sitting without being bothered by the mosquitoes which can be pesky at times. You can also enjoy the open porch area leading to a lovely secluded patio perfect for outdoor barbecues and entertaining, for which our climate is so conducive .
The two story double garage is accessed from the street over brick pavers. On the second floor of the garage there is an additional bedroom and bath. The bedroom is ample enough for several beds and an entertainment area. This is the perfect spot for grandchildren or guests who desire some privacy. Storm shutters and lightening arrestors along with structural cable tie down maximize your safety during hurricanes or nor’easters.
