Downtown Beaufort SC Homes
Do you love history? What about scenic walks? Live music, food, and entertainment? Then Downtown Beaufort is calling your name.
This picturesque historic district is home to a wealth of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. With a residence here, you can be within walking distance of Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, which boasts views of the Beaufort River and the town's historic waterfront, as well as renowned Bay Street eateries and the University of South Carolina At Beaufort. When it's time for the annual Beaufort Shrimp Festival and Beaufort Water Festival, you'll have all the live music, food, and entertainment at your fingertips.
The downtown area of Beaufort offers an abundance of housing options, including historic homes, townhouses, and modern, new-construction properties. The median home prices are reasonable for a coastal town but houses in the immediate proximity to downtown here can be over $400k and exceed $1M. The “Old Point” neighborhood is known for its historic homes, waterfront homes, deep water docks, and lush, private lots. A unique feature you’ll find in many homes here is a Carolina room, which is a type of sunroom or enclosed porch. It’s typically designed to provide a comfortable and relaxed living space with large windows or screens to let in plenty of natural light and fresh air.
Properties here date back to the 1800s, with some featuring well-preserved original floors and architectural features. However, physical features aren’t the only thing these historic homes have to offer: many have verifiable stories and ownership tracing back to the Civil War. Imagine being able to track the story of your home for more than 150 years - every person who lived there, the events that took place, and how those people and events fit into the broad tapestry of American history. Now that’s priceless.
Whether you want to savor a meal at Saltus River Grill, lose yourself in tales of the past at the Beaufort History Museum, or simply soak in charming landscape and architecture, downtown Beaufort is sure to impress.
