Along Seabrook Island’s sought-after Lakes district, one architect-signature residence captures the Lowcountry’s quieter form of luxury—where design lineage, landscape, and daily ease meet. Crafted by renowned architect Ray Phillips, the home layers old-world character into a coastal plan, from a restored 1830s English pub door to Venetian-style iron gates, arches, and oak shiplap ceilings. Expansive glass doors and a wraparound deck frame lagoon views, while high-ground siting and major system updates support modern island living within a private club community.

For ten days this summer, Beaufort’s waterfront will become the center of one of the Lowcountry’s longest-running community traditions. The 70th Annual Beaufort Water Festival will take place July 17 through 26, filling Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park and surrounding areas with live music, water events, local art, food, and family activities.
