Beaufort, NC is a small coastal town with lots of history and things to see and do. This area was originally known as “Fish Town” and has always been known for Blackbeard, the Pirate. There are many gorgeous homes in Beaufort and many that are over one hundred years old and have been restored to their original form, earning them a plaque with the year the home was built on it. The trip into Beaufort is pretty, no matter which direction you come in from. The scenery is lots of water, marshlands, and pretty homes all along the way. The homes in this area range in size from a beach bungalow to a huge, several story home to homes on stilts. Many of the homes are remodeled or restored homes and there are many new, up to date homes. Many of the homes have special features like a widow's walk on top or a rooftop deck or fenced-in yards. A white picket fence is referred to as a Beaufort fence and is very popular in this area. Homes can be very expensive if you try to live right on the water. The closer to the water you get the more expensive the homes and for the most part, the bigger the home.
