Timeless Charm Meets Modern Luxury In Historic Home

1411 North is a once-in-a-generation offering in the heart of Beaufort’s cherished historic district known as The Bluff. Located in a town named by Southern Living as The South’s Best Small Town, this exceptional home captures the lifestyle that makes downtown Beaufort so special—river views and breezes from the wide front porch, morning walks along the waterfront, and the City Marina, shops, restaurants, and galleries all just steps from your door. Built circa 1907 in the Queen Anne vernacular style, the Emil E. Lengnick House stands as one of the area’s rare landmark residences to undergo a true whole-house restoration of exceptional scale and quality. Taken down to the studs and meticulously restored, the home was thoughtfully designed to honor its beautiful and unique historic elements while incorporating the comforts and functionality of modern living. Inside, light-filled, gracious living spaces blend timeless character with refined finishes. The reconfigured floor plan offers a beautifully appointed kitchen, inviting gathering spaces, and the flexibility of a first-floor en-suite bedroom. Upstairs, the primary suite features a remarkable bath and a generous walk-in closet, accompanied by additional guest accommodations, all with dedicated redesigned bathrooms. A unique third-floor junior suite offers privacy, charm, and a delightful hidden room. The extraordinary transformation was led by award-winning South Carolina architectural firm Goggans Architecture, in collaboration with Beaufort preservationist Mike Sutton of Sutton Construction, both recognized for their dedication to craftsmanship and historic integrity. As an additional benefit, the property has received final approval for the Bailey Bill historic rehabilitation tax incentive, freezing its assessed value at the pre-rehabilitation level for 10 years. The remaining term transfers to the next owner, providing a considerable tax savings. Set on a generous 0.37-acre lot, the property also offers room for future enhancements, with approved plans available for a pool, guest house, and garage should the next owner desire to further expand the estate. Located within the Beaufort National Historic Landmark District, the home also offers convenient access to parks, nearby beaches, and some of the region’s most celebrated golf courses. This is more than a home—it is a legacy property where history has been honored and beautifully reimagined for generations to come.
