Located in the very sought after ''Point'' neighborhood in downtown Beaufort, John Fripp Chaplin House, circa 1810, is only a short walk to restaurants, the downtown marina and shopping. Rich in history, the house has been tastefully restored and offers beautiful heart pine floors, with high ceilings all flooded with natural light. Wide, wrap around porches welcome guests and capture the southern sea breeze. The house was built in the classic Beaufort ''T'' architectural style, with beautiful living and dining rooms, both featuring exceptional millwork, flanking the entrance hall. Unusual for a house of this period, the house also contains a ''great room'' style family room/kitchen that spans the width of the home.The chef's style kitchen offers top of the line appliances, including a SubZero refrigerator, a Viking gas range and Dacor double ovens. Cooks will appreciate the walk-in pantry and the heart pine topped island with second sink. Adjacent to the kitchen is a breakfast area with a fireplace, one of ten in the home. Beyond is the family room, again with a fireplace, and both the kitchen and family room open to the wrap around porch. A stacked washer and dryer is hidden away in the powder room with an additional washer and dryer located on the ground floor. A hyphen connecting the original structure to a recently added sun room includes a built-in bar and butler's pantry as well as a powder/laundry room. A sun room with a vaulted ceiling anchors the rear of the house and is surrounded by the green side gardens and yard. The second floor offers three spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bath and fireplace. The large primary suite includes an extensive walk-in closet and easy access to the porch. The ground floor offers a kitchen and sitting area, as well as two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a second laundry room. With it's own exterior door, this floor is ideal for use as a guest or in-law suite, and could host a gym, artist studio or playroom. The kitchen includes granite counters and a built in coffee bar. This expansive area offers exposed beams, brick walls and acid stained concrete floors. There is ample storage throughout the home, and this floor in particular, which also includes unique wine storage. Outside, the grounds include mature landscaping with brick edged walkways, a fountain and a beautiful herringbone pattern brick parking court. The spacious side yard provides ample room for additional gardens or possibly a swimming pool. A beautiful patio is surrounded by mature landscaping, while a picket fence completes this lowcountry masterpiece. Additional features of the home and grounds include a standing seam metal roof, tankless hot water heaters, as well as a new irrigation system. There are two water meters, one for the interior water and one for the irrigation. Spray foam insulation has been applied in the attic and home has recently been fully painted. Off street parking is enhanced by a side entrance and fountain. Classic in design, brimming with history and completely restored, this ideally located home is not to be missed.

About Me
What makes me different and more worthy than any other agent? Great Question…
1.) I have been in the real estate industry since 1998
2.) At 29 years old I founded a wholesale mortgage firm here in Charleston and as such being the President/CEO I was responsible for overseeing 13 team members, two branches, ALL the marketing functions, business development, training of real estate agents in financing, training of my loan officers, and making sure over $85 Million in loans got closed. Of which most were purchases. So I have REAL business knowledge and real estate is business vs an agent without that savvy business skills.
3.) I graduated from University of S.C. where my major was media arts. What’s that mean? What you are reading right now is media. Everything you see and hear is media. Everything on a computer is digital media, websites, video, photographs, and audio. I studied video production, photography/lighting courses, audio recording, and more. Even post cards, billboards, news paper are ALL media, print media. (Although it’s an antiquated media). With that knowledge your home will have the most beautiful representation to the prospective buyers, instead of most of what you see out there (poorly lit, poorly framed, bad photos and video that put off buyers).
4.) 95% OF ALL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BEGIN WITH THE INTERNET… PERIOD, IT IS FACT. I am a digital internet marketing expert. I consult other businesses on how to harness the internet’s power through web design, SEO (search engine optimization), content marketing, image marketing, user experience design, online ad management and more.
When listing a home for sale there isn't an exact science to it, but what is required is knowing all the facts, and that's where I come in. What's a home valuation really anyway?
Estimating the value of real property is important to a variety reasons, but for most people, determining the asking or purchase price of a property is the most useful application of real estate valuation. This article will provide an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of real estate valuation, particularly as it pertains to real estate sales.
That's all well and good, however what most home owners in Charleston SC and the U.S. really want to know is what's my property worth now if I were to try to sell it? The most common method  that 90% of listing agent use is:Â
The Sales Comparison Approach.
Value -
A main consideration in appraising is to determine a property’s value: the present worth of future benefitsarising from the ownership of real property. Unlike many consumer goods such as oil, lumber, food, etc. that are quickly used, the benefits of real property are generally realized over a long period of time. Therefore, an estimate of a property’s value must take into consideration economic and social factors, as well as governmental controls or regulations and environmental conditions that may influence the four elements of value:
- Demand – the desire or need for ownership supported by the financial means to satisfy the desire;
- Utility – the ability to satisfy future owners’ desires and needs;
- Scarcity – the finite supply of competing properties
- Transfer-ability – the ease with which ownership rights are transferred.
– What have the homes that are MOST comparable to yours (subject property) sold for recently per sq ft., and  what is currently for sale (taking into account scarcity from above)?
– What are the prices being asked by your competing listings in and around your neighborhood.
Other Factors inside the two primary ones above include: (age of home, physical features, location, conditions of the sale, economic conditions)
