2302 Stuart St, Beaufort, SC 29902

Inspired by classic 19th-century architecture and built by Chuck Ferguson, this cedar shake cottage in downtown Beaufort is a true hidden gem. Nestled among moss-draped live oaks, camellias, and azaleas, the setting feels both private and picturesque. Located just about a mile from the Intracoastal Waterway and historic downtown Beaufort--and only a half-mile from the Spanish Moss Trail--you are perfectly positioned near Waterfront Park, the marina, shopping, and dining. This single-level home is designed for effortless living and entertaining, featuring an inviting open floor plan with exposed beams, custom built-ins, and abundant bookshelves. The aesthetic is anchored by stunning ''ink-stained'' concrete floors, offering a sophisticated, designer touch to the interior. The primary suite offers a marble-top vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in closet, while the second bedroom or office has convenient access to a full bath with a tiled shower. Transitioning seamlessly to the outdoors, the home features approximately 200 square feet of screened porch, providing the perfect sanctuary to enjoy the coastal breezes and serene garden views year-round. The covered entry further showcases the craftsmanship with a striking 9-foot-wide mahogany front door and sidelights. Featured in the Fall/Winter 2019 edition of Cottage Style Magazine, this thoughtfully designed shingle-style cottage perfectly blends timeless character with Lowcountry charm.
