About 903 Harrington Street, Beaufort, SC 29902
903 Harrington Street is a vacant lot in the Northwest Quadrant of Historic Beaufort, SC. It is one of the largest lots in the historic district, at .27 acres, a total of 11,647 sq. ft. One ownership partner is a licensed real estate agent.
A rare opportunity: the lot's size is ideal, with the capability to build a home and a second structure. Plenty of room to add a full garage in the back and/or a mother-in-law suite for family, or rent it out. Walk to the shops of historic Bay St., 5 blocks from Bay Street and just 2 more blocks to downtown. Lots this size are seldom available in historic Beaufort, SC, and this one is ready to build as time and costs were just spent on excavation.
About the lot: it is so large that it is surrounded by 7 other lots and homesites. When purchased in 2021 by LuMage Properties, the lot's elevation was 3 to 4 feet higher than the surrounding lots. It was discovered after the purchase that a building (a mosque) had at one time sat on the land, and when demolished, the building debris was not removed but buried. This demanded extensive excavation to remove the debris, requiring dozens of truckloads of dirt-and-debris mix to be removed and clean dirt brought in. It also demanded large equipment to excavate and level the lot to even the slope with the surrounding lots.
Potential: LuMage Properties has had the property surveyed and has a draft of architectural drawings for a single-family home, a garage and a mother-in-law suite above the garage. The drawings also include the lot excavated in two even levels with a retaining wall below the back porch. A driveway would be situated on the right side of the lot. The lot's size permits a unique advantage: the home can be built in the front, a yard behind it, and the garage and living unit in the back for family, friends or as a rental unit.
Image galleries: below are images taken of various locations on the lot, from beginning to end, showing the improvements made. The last gallery shows the extensive work that was needed and completed to make it build-ready for a buyer.
