Deep Water Home Just Reduced: 18 East River Dr - $449K - MLS # 121231

Anyone who has ever read a Pat Conroy novel has probably imagined what it would be like to live in Beaufort, SC -- The smell of the marsh, gentle tidal creeks meandering throughout the area, quiet summer evenings, heron gliding overhead, fishing opportunities galore.

Conroy, who still owns a home on Fripp Island, tells the story of his childhood through the fictional characters of The Prince of Tides, The Water Is Wide, The Great Santini  and Beach Music. All of these stories take place in Beaufort, although Conroy always changed the name of the town.

In Red Bluff Estates on Lady's Island, you can enjoy the quintessential Beaufort lifestyle from your back yard. 18 East River Drive sits on a tidal creek, and has just been reduced from $449,000, from $499,000. A couple of years ago, we would have told you you were nuts for thinking a gorgeous tidal creek lot with a private dock could be available for under $450,000.

With about 2400 square feet of living space, there is room for a  growing family, but not so much space that empty nesters will be deterred.

There are beautiful live oaks on the property, which can be enjoyed from the screened porch. The dock lift can accommodate a 6000-pound boat. Historic downtown Beaufort is just minutes away.

The current owners have taken care of some of the maintenance concerns a homebuyer might have, by recently replacing the roof, and replacing the AC unit in the past three years.

Red Bluff is located on Lady's Island, just minutes from the Brickyard Landing boat ramp. There are currently 7 homes listed in Red Bluff, with a median asking price of $449,000.
