804 Carteret Street

Historic Downtown Beaufort Retreat – Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort Some homes whisper their history. This one sings it. Tucked along Carteret Street in the heart of historic downtown Beaufort, this circa‑1900 residence once served as the rectory for St. Peter’s Catholic Church—a quiet sanctuary for parish life, reflection, and community. Today, it stands as a vibrant, artful retreat where the past and present mingle in the most unexpected ways. From the moment you arrive, the home’s colorful Southern façade sets the tone: warm, welcoming, and full of personality. Step inside, and the story deepens. Sunlight pours through tall windows, illuminating rooms that feel lovingly collected over time. Original character meets playful reinvention—hidden compartments, clever built‑ins, and whimsical design puzzles that invite curiosity. Every corner feels like a discovery. The kitchen, spacious and bright, anchors the home with the kind of charm that encourages slow mornings and lingering conversations. Two master‑style bedrooms offer comfort and privacy, each with its own soaking tub or ensuite touches, while a third cozy guest room completes the trio. The layout is ideal for families, couples traveling together, or anyone who appreciates a home with both history and heart. Outside, mature perennial landscaping wraps the property in greenery, and the oversized side yard—rare for downtown Beaufort—offers room to breathe, dream, or simply enjoy the quiet hum of the neighborhood. Step out the front door and you’re directly across from the University of South Carolina Beaufort campus and the Beaufort Center for the Arts, placing you at the crossroads of creativity, culture, and coastal charm. This home is within walking distance to main street. This is a home for travelers who crave something more than a place to sleep. It’s for those who appreciate a story, who delight in the unexpected, who want to feel connected to the spirit of old Beaufort while enjoying the comforts of today.
