About this home
A rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Beaufort history. The Historic William Ritchie House, circa 1870, sits high on ''The Bluff'' at 27 feet above sea level with sweeping southern views of the Beaufort River and Intracoastal Waterway. Thoughtfully restored and fully renovated, this exceptional waterfront home blends historic charm--original long leaf pine floors, Prairie windows, and stained-glass front door--with modern systems and upgrades. A wrap-around porch, first-floor primary suite, renovated kitchen, updated HVAC, and newly constructed garage with income-producing apartment complete this remarkable offering Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in the Historic William Ritchie House, originally built by a Union soldier and beautifully restored for today's living.
Perched high above the water, this exceptional property offers expansive southern views over the Beaufort River and Intracoastal Waterway--watch boats glide by from your expanded wrap-around porch.
Completely renovated, the home seamlessly blends historic charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Original long leaf pine floors, restored Prairie windows, and the stunning original stained-glass front door preserve its character, while all wiring, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems have been updated. A new roof, new white front fence, professional landscaping, and custom gas lanterns at the entry and garage enhance its timeless curb appeal.
The first-floor primary suite opens through French doors to the porch overlooking the water and features a fully renovated spa-like bath. The kitchen offers handsome granite countertops and all new appliances. Custom drapes, a security system, a new sunroom, and beautifully refreshed interiors--professionally painted in 2025--complete the home's elegant presentation.
Comfort is ensured year-round with updated HVAC systems (upstairs 2019, downstairs 2020, primary suite 2024).
A newly constructed garage by Allan Patterson includes a VRBO apartment above with an excellent rental history--ideal for guests or income potential. The full brick basement with access from the sunroom provides more living space.
This remarkable home has been featured on the Tour of Homes and is framed by mature citrus trees--including orange, kumquat, and grapefruit--along with classic boxwoods, adding a final touch of Southern charm....
