The home has a fully equipped gourmet eat-in kitchen, added in 2000, with custom cherry and granite throughout. The double ovens, separate warming drawer, Thermodor gas stove top with four burners and a center grill, pot filler, sub zero refrigerator, and large granite center island all help to inspire delicious southern-style cooking.

A library was also added in 2000, and is completely paneled in custom cherry cabinets and adjustable shelves extending to the ceiling, serviceable by the cherry and brass library ladder on casters. The library and kitchen combined with the living room and formal dining room, which are accessible by “jib” windows, create what many believe to be the finest private space in Beaufort. An elevator, installed in 2000,  which services all levels, comes in handy
for groceries and luggage in addition to transporting people.

 

The terrace level is light and airy, with rollout double windows throughout the livingarea, which includes a fully functioning guest apartment with kitchen, 1 and 1/2 baths, and a one-car garage.

Some of the home’s other special features, both original and new, include: 12’8” ceilings on the first floor; original crown molding over the front door entrance and original glass in the windows; exquisite plaster crown molding and medallions surrounding the chandeliers, probably added in the 1920s, in the living room, dining room, and entrance hall; original stair banister (with replaced spindles and stair treads); original coal  burning slate fireplaces which have been converted to gas; central VAC system.

Surrounded by custom brick, wrought iron fencing, and rose-draped arbors, amidst lush landscaping aided by an in ground irrigation system, this home is the essence of graceful southern living. Ensconced in
