At 700 Bay Street, we don’t have to create history- we’re in the middle of the National Historic District! History is alive in downtown Beaufort – from beautiful homes to quaint shopping, outstanding waterfront and museums, we have it all. Imagine an easy lifestyle that was common years ago, and that is being revived in today’s busy world. Whether you’re in town weekends only, or you plan to be here for the rest of your life, the special ambiance Downtown Beaufort is yours to experience. Fifty years ago it was common for shop owners and business people to live above their places of business, and now some of those places are being brought back to life with the renovation of 700 Bay Street – better known as the BB&T building. Scheduled to open in 2007, residences atop 700 Bay Street will boast an industrial feeling of yesterday – high ceilings, some masonry walls, exposed ductwork (if you wish), hardwood floors and underground parking. Twelve units have balconies with views across the waterfront park; the remaining four share a rooftop terrace overlooking Bay Street and the community’s Historic District. 700 Bay condos are priced from $750,000.
