About This Home

As of July 2023

A quintessential Folly Beach cottage that harkens back to long ago summers when living was easy. This 2,000 sqft home with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths is a very unique opportunity for the type of buyer who wants a vintage beach cottage on one of the best oceanfront lots on Folly. The beach is accreting in this area and is located just far enough from Center Street to avoid the crowds. Looking for a true beach house on the ocean with all it's yesteryear charm and character? Take one look and you will feel the awesome beach vibe of this home and fall in love with this iconic beach cottage called ''Inherit the Wind''. Situated on a large lot with plenty of high ground and a newer substantial seawall with rock revetment which is covered by newly accreted dunes.You enter the home through a large screened front porch. At the front door, you are greeted by an open floor plan that provides views of the ocean. The large sunroom with many oversized windows invites you to linger longer while being mesmerized by the views of the ocean and beach. Two of the bedrooms have Dutch doors that open to the sunroom - perfect for hanging out on the beds while viewing the beach. The primary bedroom is very large with a fireplace and a small ensuite bath. Even with the requirement of a 40' setback from the base line, a narrow oceanside pool may be feasible. Truly a rare opportunity to buy a Folly Beach classic.
