The ballast stones in the home's foundation came to Beaufort, aboard some of the first trade ships between the new world and England; in a sense the oldest part of the home rests on British "soil". Benjamin Franklin published "poor Richard's Almanac" in 1732. Shortly thereafter, the initial house was built. Additions came in the 1790's, 1860's, and again in the 1920's. Furnished with an eclectic collection of antiques, there is a sense of the late-18th/early-19th centuries. Each of the four guest rooms has a queen sized bed, private bath, room temperature control, and mini-refrigerator. It is also our home, hence, we have an amnety for almost any need. The master guest room, our best, is secluded on the second floor and begs to be your hideaway with its sunlit master bath and 4x6 jetted tub where two can float side-by-side. Areas for all the guests include the first floor parlor/dining area, lower porch, loaded with rockers and "Adirondak" chairs, and the exterior gardens. Our property provides off street parking for up to four guest vehicles, one per room.
