Historic Home in the Heart of Downtown Beaufort's 'Old Point'

Historic 4-Bedroom Home in Downtown Beaufort’s Old Point
Located in the heart of Beaufort’s prestigious Old Point neighborhood, this beautifully restored historic home offers a rare opportunity to experience the charm and elegance of the Lowcountry. Built in the late 1800s, the home is rich in character and history and is ideally situated just three short blocks from Waterfront Park, as well as Beaufort’s downtown shops, art galleries, restaurants, and attractions.

The home has been thoughtfully and fully restored, blending historic details with modern comfort. Features include a fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, limestone tile, heart pine floors, and a curated collection of unique antiques sourced from Bali and Indonesia.

Outdoor Living

Three spacious porches offer the perfect setting to relax, take in the beautiful Lowcountry scenery, and watch horse-drawn carriage rides pass by. Just a short walk away, Beaufort’s newly renovated Waterfront Park features scenic views, walking paths, and a playground—ideal for an afternoon outdoors.

Location Highlights
• Minutes from Parris Island and Marine Corps Graduation
• Easy access to Hunting Island State Park and public boat ramps
• Convenient day trips to Charleston, Hilton Head, and Savannah

Staying at 608 North Street provides an experience that simply can’t be matched by a hotel or condo—combining space, history, and an unbeatable downtown location.

Please note: While the home has been completely renovated, it is nearly 200 years old and retains the charming imperfections typical of historic Beaufort and Charleston properties. If you don’t like historic properties, this is probably not the right home for you. Guests who appreciate character and authenticity will find these details part of what makes this home truly special.

About the host

Welcome to Beaufort!

We are a couple from nearby Columbia, South Carolina, who fell in love with Beaufort’s timeless coastal charm. When we discovered this historic home in the heart of the Old Point neighborhood, it was in need of restoration—but we immediately saw its potential.

Over time, we carefully and lovingly restored the home, taking great care to preserve its original character while adding modern comforts for today’s guests. It was truly a labor of love, and every detail was worth the effort.

This home is a one-of-a-kind property, rich in history and charm, and we are thrilled to share it with families and guests who appreciate authentic Lowcountry living. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and create lasting memories during your stay in Beaufort.

Why they chose this property

Beaufort, SC has always been a place I would visit with our family. Our parents took us here when we were children, and we brought our children to Beaufort when they were young. We don't care for the 'touristy' locations that are overcrowded in SC, and we love the beauty, history, and beaches, in Beaufort. We chose to purchase this particular home because we love to restore historic houses, and this was an opportunity we could not pass up! This home was built around the turn of the 20th century, and was once the old North Street Aquarium. We saw the potential, and it was in a great location being within walking distance of the water, shops, and restaurants. We ended up having to replace porches, walls, ceilings (it was quite the renovation project!), but with a lot of work and time, we were able to renovate the home to the beautiful state it is in now. This house is truly one of a kind, and a part of Beaufort's history, and we are glad that we can share this with you!

What makes this property unique

Staying in our home offers a vacation experience unlike any other in Beaufort. With three spacious porches, you’ll have plenty of places to relax—enjoy the coastal breeze, read a book, or watch the horse-drawn carriage tours pass by.

The home is within walking distance of everything downtown, allowing you to fully experience Beaufort without ever needing to get in the car. Our family especially loves evening walks through the Old Point neighborhood, taking in the historic homes and watching the sunset over the water.

Start your mornings with coffee at one of the nearby cafés as you stroll toward Waterfront Park, then spend the day shopping, dining at local restaurants, or exploring Beaufort’s rich history—all just steps from the front door.

For beach days, we also offer the option to arrange guest passes to Harbor Island or Fripp Island, giving you access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the area.

You truly won’t find a better location to experience everything Beaufort has to offer.
