About This Home
Step back in time while enjoying the comforts of modern living in the Historic Adams House, circa 1817. Thoughtfully renovated with great care and respect for its rich history, this remarkable home preserves its historic integrity while offering the conveniences of today. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors, intricate moldings, and the original banister, showcasing the timeless craftsmanship of a bygone era. Most of the windows have been replaced with thermal glass, carefully selected to maintain the home's authentic historic character while improving energy efficiency.

Additional updates include an encapsulated crawl space with a dehumidifier, providing added peace of mind and enhanced home maintenance. Located just a short stroll from Beaufort's picturesque waterfront, you'll enjoy easy access to the shops, restaurants, historic sites, and coastal charm that have made Beaufort one of North Carolina's most beloved waterfront communities.
