804 Carteret St Beaufort, SC 29902

Once serving as the rectory for Historic St. Peter's Catholic Church, this circa-1900 residence on Carteret Street carries a story all its own. The exterior blends southern charm and color, while the interior unfolds into a playful, eclectic blend of historic character and artistic reinvention in this commercial/residential space. Modernized over the years yet still delightfully unconventional, the home features hidden compartments, clever built-ins, and whimsical design puzzles that surprise at every turn. Two master bedrooms, two soaking tubs, and large kitchen offer style and comfort while tall windows fill the rooms with natural light. Zoned for both residential and mixed use, this property is ideal for someone seeking a creative live-work space, boutique studio, or private residence with personality. Outside, mature perennial landscaping and an oversized side yard (rare for downtown Beaufort) frame the home beautifully and leave room for expansion. Directly across from the University of South Carolina Beaufort campus, this one-of-a-kind property captures the spirit of old Beaufort while embracing individuality and imagination offering a sweet juxtaposition being directly across the Beaufort Center for the Arts.
