This beautifully restored home, listed on the National Historic Register, exudes a wonderful blend of historic charm and southern hospitality combined with modern 21st century comforts. Relax with your favorite book on the porch swing overlooking the bay! Sip a cool drink from one of the many rockers on the spacious wrap-around porch. Watch fishing, recreational and tour boats sail by. You may even see dolphins frolicking! This waterfront home offers some of the best views in all of Beaufort! A short walk along the water, shaded by expansive oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, will bring guests to numerous shops, restaurants, and the popular Waterfront Park.
Originally the home of a prominent local family, it was known as “The Teacherage” for decades as a home for single teachers. This home later became one of the south's most popular bed and breakfast inns. A recent meticulous major renovation has returned the stately home to its original intent as a single-family private escape where guests can enjoy five spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms. Each bedroom, as well as the dining room, kitchen and living room, offers a water view.
Your sea island retreat combines a wonderful blend of historic architectural features such as original neoclassic columns, a gum wood bannister, and beautifully crafted moldings along with modern amenities. Along with superb water views, the home features a vintage claw-foot soaking tub, original heart pine, oak and mahogany floors, elegant marble countertops, a lovely garden, a historic rib cage brass shower, gas fireplace and comfortable beds with high-quality linens. A second floor screened-in porch offers the convenience of a nearby beverage center complete with coffee maker and refrigerator that allows guests to roll out of bed and enjoy a cup of coffee while gazing at the water. The home features an impressive collection of comfortable, but not fussy, 18th and 19th century antiques. Because it provides a unique blend of large communal spaces and private bedrooms, this home would make a perfect destination for groups traveling together such as couples, girlfriends' getaways, and small family reunions.
