60ft Boat Slip Included! A rare opportunity to own one of North Carolina's most historically significant waterfront residences. Built circa 1769, the Warner House, later incorporated into Beaufort's famed Davis Boarding House, is older than the Declaration of Independence and represents more than two and a half centuries of Coastal Carolina history. Prominently positioned along Beaufort's iconic Front Street overlooking Taylor's Creek, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends Colonial craftsmanship with refined coastal living. Original hand-hewn beams, wide-plank heart pine floors, rich millwork, and abundant natural light create interiors that are both historically authentic and remarkably inviting. Thoughtfully updated while honoring its architectural legacy, the home balances timeless character with modern comfort. This residence has a first floor primary suite with optional 2nd floor primary suite. Located in the heart of Beaufort's National Register Historic District, the home is just a short stroll from award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, galleries, waterfront parks, and the town's vibrant maritime culture. Expansive waterfront living spaces frame ever-changing views of Taylor's Creek, Carrot Island, and the Rachel Carson Reserve, while generous porches invite morning coffee, afternoon sea breezes, and unforgettable sunsets. Every room has it's own suite and reflects the relaxed elegance that has defined Beaufort's maritime heritage for centuries, with thoughtfully curated interiors that complement the home's rich architectural heritage. Adding to its rarity, the property conveys with a 60ft private deeded boat slip just steps from the front door, providing immediate access to some of the most celebrated cruising waters on the East Coast. Launch for a sunset cruise through Taylor's Creek, spend the day at Cape Lookout National Seashore, anchor at Shackleford Banks, or enjoy world-class fishing, sailing, and boating directly from your own protected slip. More than a residence, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an enduring piece of American history--where Colonial architecture, waterfront living, and an unparalleled boating lifestyle converge in one of the South's most treasured coastal communities. Other Notables: The addition on on the original structure boasts reclaimed wood doors and flooring from the original rooms of the Davis Boarding House. Fully enclosed luxury Mendota fireplace inserts. Private Parking lot and storage unit. Electric car charger. Roof recently replaced. Conditioned, encapsulated crawl space.
