Just moments from downtown Beaufort, this cedar shake architecturally inspired home offers a rare blend of charm, design, and walkability. Enjoy the simple pleasure of strolling down beautiful Bay Street along the Intracoastal Waterway, taking in waterfront views as you make your way to local shops, dining, the marina, and Waterfront Park. The Spanish Moss Trail is also just a half-mile away, perfect for walking or biking.Built by Chuck Ferguson and inspired by classic 19th-century architecture, the home is tucked among moss-draped live oaks, camellias, and azaleas, creating a setting that feels both private and picturesque.Situated on a generously sized lot, the property offers exceptional privacy and features ample side yard space with room for a future garage, guest cottage, pool, or other expansion opportunities. Inside, the single-level layout is designed for easy living and entertaining, with an open floor plan, exposed beams, custom built-ins, and abundant bookshelves. The interior is anchored by striking "ink-stained" concrete floors, adding a refined, designer touch throughout. The primary suite features a marble-top vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in closet, while the second bedroom or office offers convenient access to a full bath with a tiled shower. A screened porch of approximately 200 square feet extends the living space outdoors, offering a peaceful spot to enjoy coastal breezes and garden views year-round. The covered entry makes a strong first impression with a 9-foot-wide mahogany front door and sidelights, reflecting the craftsmanship found throughout the home. Featured in the Fall/Winter 2019 edition of Cottage Style Magazine, this thoughtfully designed shingle-style home blends timeless character with Lowcountry ease while offering the flexibility and privacy that are increasingly difficult to find so close to downtown Beaufort.
