Timeless Antebellum Elegance In Historic Beaufort Estate

The Edward Means House, circa 1857, is steeped in history and southern charm. Perfectly located on nearly an acre in downtown Beaufort’s historic Point neighborhood, 604 Pinckney is a remarkable legacy property. Built in the antebellum era, the property served as Union Hospital #2 during the Civil War and stands as a testament to the city’s rich past. Surrounded by live oaks, mature landscaping, and a pierced brick fence, the imposing home overlooks The Green, a park and focal point of the neighborhood. This estate is one of Beaufort’s finest homes. A shaded semi-circular porch leads to the front entrance hall and opens to a beautiful floating staircase. Grand in every respect, the 5,758 sqft home is defined by spacious reception rooms that open onto south-facing double porches. Designed with the Lowcountry climate in mind, the large porches serve as outdoor rooms that welcome cooling breezes in the summer, warm sunlight in the winter, and the perfect spot to relax year-round. The main floor is comprised of a dual living rooms, and a dining room. The entrance hall, itself a large room, runs along the north side of the home, leading to a breakfast room and a kitchen overlooking the rear yard. Each of the stately primary rooms feature a marble mantle and fireplace. A powder room and a foyer complete the main floor. The second floor includes four bedrooms, each with large windows and the same fine details found on the first floor. There are three baths and multiple fireplaces. Other notable features include exquisite woodwork, original heart pine floors, 12 1/2 foot ceilings, and elegant marble mantels. Located in the heart of downtown Beaufort, this home is only blocks away from Beaufort’s Waterfront Park, charming shops, and fine dining, all while being surrounded by similar beautiful historic properties.
