Elegant and comfortable, this late 1800s historic landmark home with 2 large bedrooms and 2 baths is available for rent now. Close to the waterfront in a historic neighborhood in old historic Beaufort SC, the house itself is an icon of history and the Deep South. The large yard, one minute walk from the newly surfaced municipal open tennis courts, is full of mature vegetation. Four palm trees set off the front yard with two pecan trees and a row of oaks along the back fence line. The massive outdoor brick fire hearth, which is perfect for private entertaining under the large shade tree canopy, adds a whole extra dimension to the secluded backyard.
Many original features of the house remain intact from the 1800s; for example, the traditional 30ft long covered front porch runs the full width of the eastern side of the house, the very large antique wavy glass windows remain, letting in a copious amount of natural light and the original solid heart pine bead board paneling rises up the walls to the traditional high ceilings. The spacious 18ft long kitchen is literally in the center of the home. It has more cabinet space and countertop than any professional chef would ever need. It is very well laid out to be a high functioning, comfortable, enjoyable work space. It contains: stainless Kitchen-Aid fridge, built-in stainless Kitchen-Aid microwave, slick top Samsung cooktop and oven, stainless dishwasher beside the large and deep cast iron and enamel covered sink, all amidst an extremely generous amount of granite and butcher block countertop surface area. The beautiful large format real tile floor, white Italian marble pattern, slick and reflective, really sets off the kitchen as a primary attraction. The back porch adjoins the kitchen for easy access outdoor dining, just a few steps out.
The two bedrooms are a spacious 15ft x 12ft and 14ft x 12ft. The master in particular has a nice feel to it, from the high ceilings and gorgeous attached original bay window cubby/office space, and authentic original carvings in the trim and molding and the absolutely amazing adjoining bathroom that is entirely decked out, shower included, with 100% solid, real wood paneling with the old original antique circular saw marks still showing. The shelves, towel rack and solid oak curtain rod are all hand carved with great attention to detail. There is no way that pictures can capture the unique beauty this house offers. The shabby chic juxtaposition is rich with feeling. Come experience it in person!
See how the architectural decor features like the beautiful slick granite top sink at the wet bar whets your artistic appetite soon as you open the front door and enter the cool living space, kept cold by the all new central HVAC system. Notice not only the copious amount of natural lighting in every room like you would expect in a historic house, but also an impressive amount of overhead lighting, complete with exact control dimmer switches to set the intentional mood. Thoughtful placement of the large-capacity Bosch washer and dryer adjoining the kitchen hallway and large central bathroom make it efficient to get necessary laundry done while going about other house chores.
All in all, it is a charming historic house with lots to offer anyone wanting to rent in Beaufort, SC.
