Set along one of the most iconic and coveted stretches of waterfront in coastal North Carolina, 2205 Front Street captures the essence of Beaufort's timeless charm and effortless coastal living. Positioned directly on Taylor Creek, this rare offering is less about the structure and more about the extraordinary lifestyle that unfolds just beyond your front door. The 1948 cottage, built by the current family and lovingly held for generations, offers approximately 1,500 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. It has never been rented, preserving a sense of authenticity that's increasingly hard to find. Whether you choose to restore and elevate its classic coastal character, renovate to suit modern tastes, or design and build a custom waterfront retreat, the canvas is yours. What t ruly sets this property apart is the setting. A generous, tree-canopied homesite filled with old-growth hardwoods and native coastal plantings creates a private, natural sanctuary. Just across Front Street, an additional parcel rests directly on the water's edge of Taylor Creek, where the rhythm of the tides and passing boats becomes part of daily life. From here, the Beaufort lifestyle unfolds effortlessly. Stroll or bike along scenic Front Street into the historic downtown district, where centuries-old architecture meets a vibrant coastal energy. Enjoy boutique shopping, waterfront dining, and an ever-evolving culinary scene featuring fresh local seafood, craft cocktails, and dockside sunsets that never repeat themselves. Watch the legendary wild horses graze peacefully across the creek on Carrot Island, a view that feels almost cinematic in its beauty. For boating and outdoor enthusiasts, this location is nothing short of exceptional. Spend your days fishing, clamming, kayaking, or cruising the Intracoastal and beyond. While the property does not currently feature a dock, neighboring properties provide a glimpse into the potential for future water access, subject to permitting. This is a place where mornings begin with coffee under a canopy of coastal oaks, afternoons are spent on the water, and evenings end with the glow of Beaufort's waterfront lights reflecting across the creek. Offered at $2,800,000, this is a rare opportunity to secure a legacy property in one of the most sought-after waterfront corridors on the Crystal Coast--where history, nature, and coastal luxury converge.
