About this home

Set on 1.17 peaceful acres in the quiet charm of Beech Island, this extraordinary 2,221 square foot home offers a rare opportunity to own a documented piece of local history dating back to around 1861 during the War Between the States. Originally constructed by a Northern carpenter named Mr Chambers as a smokehouse for Dr Randolph Bradford, the structure was later carefully relocated piece by piece from swamp land to higher ground following the war, preserving its craftsmanship and character for generations to come. In 1952, Mr and Mrs W S Dunbar thoughtfully transformed the original smokehouse into a residence, adding living space while maintaining the integrity of the historic structure. Today, the home still showcases original pine paneled walls, exposed ceiling beams, and architectural details that reflect its nineteenth century roots. The kitchen features pine paneling, a red brick floor, and a fireplace that honors its early Southern heritage, while handmade cabinetry and timeless materials speak to enduring quality. Surrounded by mature trees in a serene setting, this property delivers both privacy and authenticity while remaining just minutes from Augusta Georgia, North Augusta South Carolina, and Aiken South Carolina. For buyers seeking a home with genuine provenance, character, and a story woven into its walls, this Beech Island treasure offers history you can live in.
