Just over the bridge from historic downtown Beaufort is a spot that’s destined to make history of its own. There on the edge of Lady’s Island, where change has come slowly and a “spruce up” is long overdue, a dynamic new community is evolving that will forever change the face of the Factory Creek waterfront.

Set near the picturesque Lady’s Island Marina, Factory Creek Village – planned as a vibrant, mixed-use community – is a wonderful work in progress. According to Matt Trumps of Tideland Realty, thirteen deepwater, single-family home sites are

available, with several homes already under construction and a few completed. Also slated and approved for construction is a 30,000 square foot building, which will contain 11,000 square feet of retail/commercial space and ten residential lofts.

The current showpiece of Factory Creek Village is the gorgeous Lowcountry/Mediterranean style home at 92 Factory Creek Court, custom designed by the acclaimed architectural firm of Allison-Ramsey. The striking four-level house with private elevator features three bedrooms, three and 1/2 baths, an open kitchen,

living room, and dining room, along with some luxurious extras like fine wood flooring, stone counters, high end appliances, and an elevator. The panoramic view of Factory Creek (and beyond, to the Intracoastal Waterway) from the wide back porches is simply the best in town! And as if that weren’t enough, just outside the home’s back door is its private, deep water 35 ft. slip at the Lady’s Island Marina.

At 94 Factory Creek Court, another home with a Lowcountry/ Mediterranean flavor is nearly complete. This four level home offers three bedrooms and three and 1/2 baths,
