Welcome to Beaufort, the “Coolest Modest Town in America,” the “Finest Modest Town for Adventure,” and “America’s Favorite Town,”* titles earned newly and with good reason.
This striking town has been a magnet for excitement for hundreds of years— and was a known hangout for pirates — including Blackbeard himself! He resided close by and most likely moored his ship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, right out front (stop at the NC Maritime Museum and see artifacts recovered from that shipwreck). Undoubtedly, he crossed this very yard after a long stretch of pillaging overseas!!
The home itself is supplied with everything you need for convenience, comfort and recreation. The welcoming front porch is ideal for watching the parade of boats drift by under the sunset and greeting neighbors. Indoors you will find Intelligent TVs in the comfortable living room, a roomy dining area for gathering and a modern kitchen for cooking together. There are three bedrooms with Intelligent TVs and a wood-paneled additional room (with a full bed) inspired by Hemingway’s boat, “Pilar.” There are two bathrooms as well, one is a half bath with direct access to an outdoor shower. Bathing in the fresh air is one of life’s simple pleasures!
The Front Street address is ideal for its vistas of Taylor’s Creek, with wild horses across the way and dolphins simple to spot frolicking. A half-mile walk is historic downtown, home to fine dining, stores and cafes, creekfront beverages, art walks and more. There are always fun activities in town, including live music, ghost walks and pirate tours.
The property features a giant floating dock for two boats, a floating kayak dock, a swim ladder, a fish cleaning station and bench seating. With deep and calm water, Taylor's Creek is the ideal safe harbor. Bring your boat and take the opportunity to cruise The Cape Lookout National Seashore — freshly voted the best National Park. Head to the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or island hop to your heart’s content. The beaches and the Crystal Coast are pristine places of beauty.
We can’t wait for you to appreciate our sweet and calming home in a neighborhood that is private and in a peaceful community focused on southern hospitality and harmony. Cheers from The Simple Plateau!
