2302 stuart street

An exceptional architectural residence in one of downtown Beaufort's most coveted neighborhoods, this cedar shake home was thoughtfully designed to honor the timeless character of the Lowcountry while embracing modern living. Just moments from Bay Street, Waterfront Park, the marina, and the Spanish Moss Trail, the location is every bit as remarkable as the home itself.Built by Chuck Ferguson and inspired by classic 19th century architecture, the home is nestled beneath moss draped live oaks, camellias, and azaleas, creating a setting that feels remarkably private despite being just steps from the heart of downtown. Situated on an oversized lot, the property offers generous outdoor space with room for a future garage, guest cottage, pool, or additional expansion opportunities.Inside, the single level layout is designed for effortless living and entertaining, featuring an open floor plan with exposed beams, custom built ins, abundant bookshelves, and striking ink stained concrete floors that add a refined designer touch throughout. The primary suite offers a marble topped vanity, soaking tub, and walk in closet, while the second bedroom or office enjoys convenient access to a full bath with a tiled shower. A screened porch of approximately 200 square feet extends the living space outdoors, providing a peaceful place to enjoy coastal breezes and garden views throughout the year. The covered entry makes a memorable first impression with a 9 foot wide mahogany front door and sidelights, reflecting the exceptional craftsmanship found throughout the home. Featured in the Fall/Winter 2019 edition of Cottage Style Magazine, this thoughtfully designed shingle style home blends timeless architecture with Lowcountry ease while offering the privacy, flexibility, and walkable lifestyle that are increasingly difficult to find in downtown Beaufort.
