In 1976, George Cantor, travel editor of the Detroit Free Press visited Beaufort, SC. It was his custom, when traveling through ''fine, atmospheric towns'' to play a game called ''After I Make the Bundle, This Is Where I Settle Down and Get Serious About Writing in That House Right Over There''. Cantor wrote - ''I saw my ideal house almost every time I turned a corner''. However, his first choice, as the clear-cut winner, was the Waterhouse home, which is better known as The Lewis Reeve Sams House, after its builder. The antebellum Lewis Reeve Sams House at 601 Bay Street, Beaufort, has been described as a ''wedding cake'' mansion with its double-tiered columned piazzas stacked like layers of an elegant confection. It is known colloquially as The Prince of Tides House since its cameo appea the 1991 film adaptation of Pat Conroy's novel by that title. Perhaps most remarkable is the home's extraordinary history. Situated on the highest point in downtown Beaufort, the property has attracted inhabitants since the time of indigenous peoples, with artifacts discovered on site bearing witness to centuries of occupation. During the Civil War, the house initially served as served as Hospital No. 14 for wounded Union officers. Then, in 1863, the house served as home and headquarters for Brigadier General Rufus Saxton. A Medal of Honor awardee, General Saxton, was appointed military governor of the Department of the South by President Abraham Lincoln in May 1862 and was involved with the Port Royal Experiment. Following the war, the Sams family reclaimed the property before eventually selling it. In 1907, during the devastating fire that destroyed much of Beaufort, owner George Waterhouse of Maine rallied workers from his waterfront cotton gin to continuously douse the home with water, preserving this remarkable landmark. For sixteen years, beginning approximately in 1984, the residence operated as The Bay Street Inn before once again returning to its role as one of Beaufort's most treasured private homes. Built in 1852 by wealthy cotton planter Lewis Reeve Sams who owned half of Dataw Island and two other plantations, this home is the landmark entrance to the historic waterfront neighborhood, The Point. It is an enduring example of the Beaufort Style of Architecture, a refined interpretation of the Greek Revival period. Its signature low- pitched roof with one of only a handful of remaining parapets in Beaufort, and distinctive T-shaped floor plan were designed to capture cool river breezes. The south-facing fluted Ionic-over-Doric columns were each carved from massive trees harvested on Sams's Dataw Island plantation and transported to Beaufort by boat. A stately exterior white marble staircase leads to the elevated main level, where a gracious 35-foot foyer welcomes guests and opens to two grand double parlors. A sweeping interior staircase leads from the foyer to the upper floor. Original heart pine floors run throughout the home. Large windows adorned with intricate acanthus leaf carvings, many still featuring their original wavy glass, flood the interiors with natural light. There are eight fireplaces with original mantels, including two black marble mantels imported from Italy, remaining in the home with most converted to gas logs. Twelve-foot ceilings and deep picture-frame crown molding add timeless elegance to every room. One of the double parlors has been transformed into a formal dining room featuring custom handmade wallpaper commissioned in San Francisco. The original ceiling medallion beautifully depicts crops once grown on Lewis Reeve Sams's Dataw plantation. The main level also includes a library, family room, kitchen, butler's pantry, and powder room. There is an exterior door and porch leading from the library to the back lawn. The second floor staircase opens into a wide foyer leading to three guest bedrooms, each with a private bath, and an expansive primary suite complete with a full bath and walk-in closets. The laundry room is located conveniently on this floor. From the second-floor piazza, a panoramic view stretches from the Elliot Park across the Beaufort River to the bluffs of Factory Creek. Designed for flexibility, the private ground floor level functions beautifully as an in-law suite or long-term rental. There are two separate exterior entrances, an interior staircase and elevator access to the elevated main floor. This level includes two bedrooms, two full baths, a den, full kitchen with laundry, utility room, and a private exercise room. The foyer on this level is paved with original colonial ship ballast, Welsh bluestone. There is an under-piazza paved brick patio facing the Beaufort River on this level. Set on a beautifully landscaped half-acre corner lot, the property features a jasmine and wisteria covered pergola, formal parterre garden with brick walkways, stone patio, citrus trees, and two driveways accommodating up to four vehicles. Separating the driveways is the original wash house, one of only a few remaining in Beaufort.

Framed by mature landscaping and the beautifully restored main residence and guest cottage, the property immediately feels distinctly Beaufort.

Aldrich & Sons, the residence was meticulously brought back to life while preserving many of the details that give it soul today. This property is a Beaufort County Historic Site, gaining recognition as a part of the National Register Historic District, which includes 304 acres of history dating back to 1711. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and character at every turn.

Every room carries a sense of history while still functioning effortlessly for modern living. Beyond the main residence, the 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom guest cottage opens an entirely different layer of opportunity. Currently operating as a successful short term rental generating strong annual returns, this property offers exceptional flexibility for owners seeking supplemental income, private guest accommodations, multigenerational living, or a dedicated creative/workspace retreat. What truly separates this property, however, is the lifestyle it creates. From the front porch beneath the sweeping canopy of one of Beaufort's oldest live oaks, to evenings spent surrounded by the glow of moss draped greenery and coastal air, the setting feels timeless in the truest Lowcountry sense. Mornings naturally flow into walks through Beaufort's historic streets, while downtown restaurants, waterfront parks, galleries, and marinas remain just steps away. Enjoy fantastic sunsets and water views of the Bay from your double porches as time itself stands still at The Old Teacherage. Whether envisioned as a private residence, luxury second home, boutique vacation property, or investment driven historic retreat, The Old Teacherage offers a rare combination of architectural character, documented history, unbeatable location, and income producing versatility in one of the South's most beloved coastal towns. Properties with this level of story, flexibility, and presence seldom reach the market.
