Welcome to your own private slice of the Lowcountry, where breathtaking marsh views and timeless Southern architecture come together in one exceptional Cat Island retreat. Tucked away on a beautifully landscaped marshfront homesite of approximately 0.45 acres, this meticulously maintained residence captures everything that makes Beaufort’s coastal lifestyle so special. As you cross the scenic causeway onto Cat Island, life begins to slow down, replaced by sweeping water views, towering oaks, and the peaceful rhythm of the Lowcountry. You are welcomed by a charming 35-foot-long rocking chair front porch that sets the tone, welcoming guests through double front doors into a gracious foyer accented by wide-plank heart pine flooring and 10-foot ceilings and views of the marsh. Designed to maximize both comfort and views, the spacious first-floor primary suite overlooks the marsh and opens directly onto the expansive 12’ x 24’ screened porch. The adjacent living room enjoys the same stunning backdrop, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living and the perfect setting to enjoy Beaufort’s legendary views. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers exceptional flexibility with an open kitchen, formal dining room, spacious den or office, pantry, and generous laundry room with a private side entrance. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, every space feels warm, inviting, and functional. Upstairs, two oversized guest bedrooms offer sitting areas and beautiful marsh views, creating peaceful retreats for family and visitors alike. A full bathroom and abundant attic storage complete the second level. Adding tremendous value and versatility is the single level, detached guest cottage behind the two-car garage. Offering approximately 364 square feet of living space, the guest suite features a sitting area, bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette, making it ideal for extended family, visiting guests, a private office, studio, or flex space. With the main house offering approximately 2,692 square feet, a detached guest suite, beautifully maintained grounds, Flood Zone X designation with no required flood insurance, and some of the most captivating marsh views Beaufort has to offer, this property embodies the very best of Lowcountry living. Cat Island is one of Beaufort’s most sought-after private club communities, known for its scenic beauty, golf, and welcoming coastal atmosphere.
