1401 Duke Street - A Reimagined Historic Cottage in the Heart of Beaufort There are very few opportunities in Beaufort to live in a home that truly tells a story and 1401 Duke Street is one of them. Set on a prominent corner in the city's historic Northwest Quadrant, this beautifully reconstructed cottage stands on the site of what was once a beloved neighborhood store that served the surrounding community for generations. From the early 1900s through the mid-20th century, this corner was a daily gathering place where neighbors stopped for groceries, children bought penny candy, and life in Beaufort quietly unfolded. Today, that same sense of place has been thoughtfully preserved and reimagined into a one-of-a-kind residence. Inside, the space opens into a light-filled, airy interior where clean lines and modern finishes complement the building's historic footprint. The main living area flows seamlessly into a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and custom cabinetry, creating a comfortable and inviting environment for both everyday living and entertaining. Large windows bring in natural light from multiple exposures, reinforcing the home's connection to its corner setting. The layout offers exceptional flexibility, with additional rooms that can function as bedrooms, a home office, or creative studio space ideal for anyone seeking a residence that adapts to their lifestyle. The bathroom is spacious and thoughtfully designed, featuring a walk-in tiled shower and a refined, minimalist aesthetic that elevates the overall living experience. Just minutes from downtown Beaufort and surrounded by the emerging energy of the Freedman Arts District, the location offers both convenience and a deep sense of community. This is a neighborhood with roots, character, and momentum making the home equally appealing for those who value history and those drawn to what's next. 1401 Duke Street is not a typical rental. It is a chance to live somewhere meaningful a place where Beaufort's past has been carefully carried forward into a modern, livable space. Resident is responsible for utilities. Minimum 1-year lease.
