About This Home
Don't Miss the Boat!Step into the past with this one-of-a-kind 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home steeped in Folly Beach history and brimming with character. Located right across the street from the ocean, this property offers an unparalleled opportunity to own a truly unique home that captures the spirit of coastal living.The kitchen, built inside the wheelhouse of a retired steamer ship, is a tribute to Folly Beach's origins, when boats, trains, and trolley cars served as changing stations for visitors before returning to Charleston. The back of the house is constructed from a train's maintenance car, seamlessly integrated into the rest of the home with soaring high ceilings that create an open and spacious atmosphere.Adding to its authenticity, the "chief engineer" room has been preserved in its original state, providing a rare and tangible connection to the past.
This home is as functional as it is historic. The living spaces are inviting and filled with natural light, with sliding doors leading to a deck where you can enjoy the ocean breeze. Ocean views are visible from every floor, and the top perch offers breathtaking panoramic ocean views as well as marsh views, allowing you to enjoy both sunrises and sunsets. High ceilings and thoughtful design ensure the home feels open and connected, while engineered hardwood floors provide durability and style.
Situated on a rare double lot, the property offers privacy and space that is hard to find. Solar panels add to its efficiency, and the location is ideal close enough to bike or walk to Folly Beach's vibrant shops and restaurants, yet tucked away enough to maintain a sense of peace and quiet.
