Prime Investment Opportunity in Historic Downtown Beaufort
Located in the vibrant heart of downtown Beaufort, the historic Clara Elizabeth Elliott home offers not only timeless Lowcountry charm but also tremendous income-producing potential.

This corner lot has the rare opportunity to build a nice ADU..large enough for a garage, or carriage house.
The main home boasts three bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment provides flexibility for dual rental income or owner occupancy with a guest suite. Fully updated in 2022/2023 the property features major improvements of all new electrical and plumbing systems, kitchens and bathroom cabinets and fixtures.
