## Description

### Agent Description
Waterfront Living at Its Best on the South River Welcome to your own slice of coastal paradise in beautiful Beaufort. This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of the South River--visible from nearly every room. Start your mornings fishing off your private dock, spend afternoons boating with direct water access, and unwind in the evenings on the screened-in porch as the sun sets over the river. Complete with a boat lift and bulkhead, this property is truly designed for effortless coastal living. Inside, the home features tile flooring throughout, an open and functional layout, and thoughtful upgrades including a tankless water heater, whole-house water filtration system, and cozy gas logs in the living area. Situated on nearly half an acre, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and outdoor space, all while being just a short drive from Beaufort's charming waterfront, shops, and dining. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or investment opportunity, this waterfront gem delivers the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
