Conveniently located near historic Beaufort, churches, shopping and local medical facilities, this charming French farmhouse style residence has a distinctive character. As you enter the front door the large family room has built-in corner shelves, a working fireplace and leads through glass pained French doors to a private wood-paneled office/study with built-in shelving and a separate entrance. Original wood flooring is seen throughout the home. A large private dining room displays pickled butt board walls, distinctive chair-railing and adjoins the kitchen and breakfast room, perfect for gatherings and leads to the rear screened porch. The well-appointed remodeled kitchen features stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, refurbished plumbing and lighting with Hickory beamed ceilings and a farm sink. Stone tile flooring is in the kitchen and breakfast room. The large family sized screened porch at the rear of the home provides additional living space in Beaufort's moderate climate. The generous master suite has a large walk-in closet, en-suit bath with a glass enclosed shower and dual shower heads. There are two spacious guest rooms with a shared full bath. This home also has a basement providing an additional storage area with easy access from the kitchen. The grounds provide a large front yard with a circular driveway and large rear yard, both with mature landscaping. Access to the residence can be from either Ribaut Road or Reynolds Street at the back yard. Ceiling fans and plantation shutters are located throughout the home.
