About the property

Contemporary Azalea Square Townhome with Community Pool & Parking

This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhouse in Azalea Square stands out for what it delivers immediately: modern systems, thoughtful construction details, and turnkey ease. Built in 2023, the 1,066-square-foot layout takes advantage of 9-foot ceilings and an open main level finished with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen anchors the space with clean lines and durable surfaces while spray-foam insulation and heat-pump HVAC emphasize year-round efficiency and lower operating costs.

Upstairs, both bedrooms share well-proportioned layouts and contemporary baths; the owner carefully selected finishes that are durable and neutral, making personalization effortless. Practical touches—hurricane straps, composition roofing, and energy-conscious mechanicals—reflect a builder focus on resilience that’s especially welcome in coastal Beaufort. Parking is simple and private with driveway space for two vehicles directly at the home.

Community amenities extend the living area beyond the unit. Azalea Square provides a neighborhood pool and playground, giving adults and children nearby spaces for recreation without long drives. Robert Smalls Parkway sits a half-mile away, routing you quickly to shopping and services; historic downtown Beaufort is an easy 4.5-mile drive for restaurants, galleries, and waterfront outings. Annual property taxes reported for 2023 are notably modest ($379), and the property was purchased new in October 2023 for $236,000, reflecting a stable early ownership history.

Investors and owner-occupants alike will find appeal here. Recent comparable sales within the development support a fair market range of roughly $232,000–$257,000, and rental-market modeling estimates monthly rent near $2,090 with a gross yield around 10%. Buyers should verify HOA fees and community rules as a next step—those documents will clarify use restrictions and operating costs—but for buyers seeking low-maintenance, modern townhome living close to Beaufort’s amenities, this property is a compelling option.

Practical, energy-smart construction, community recreation options, and straightforward access to the region’s retail and cultural centers give this Azalea Square townhouse a rare combination: new-home convenience with a neighborhood feel and easy stewardship for years to come.

Editorial market perspective

Beaufort’s local market currently tips in favor of sellers, with inventory near three months and an average days on market around 45. The corridor that includes Azalea Square has been active—recent one-year appreciation is approximately 8.9% and five-year appreciation about 25%. Median sale price for the broader area sits near $373,000, but townhome product in new developments like Azalea Square trades at a lower mid-tier price point, as shown by nearby comps ranging from roughly $210k to $290k depending on size and finish. Townhomes and new-construction units are in demand here due to low maintenance and amenity-rich community offerings; average absorption suggests motivated buyers will need to move deliberately but competitively. For investors, estimated monthly rent (~$2,090) and a gross rental yield near 10% indicate strong short-term cashflow potential, though buyers should assess HOA obligations and local school preferences. In short: a moderately hot seller’s market, constrained inventory, and steady appreciation make now a solid time to consider acquisition—especially for buyers targeting modern townhome stock close to Beaufort’s services and downtown.
