A well built, one of a kind, quintessential ''Folly Style'' home. The original owner built this home for his family and designed the house around the central, three level spiral, cast iron, antique staircase. The home is a Folly favorite and always reaps compliments from those who pass through it's doors. The current owners of 17 years are avid gardeners, raised two children on Folly and fully refurbished their personal home to high aesthetic and quality standards. 4 blocks from the beach, two blocks from Bert's and a block and a half from Center Street places this house central to ''The Folly Beach Experience''. 2014 gross revenue From May to September was $37,775 for the summer rental season, off season rentals could easily increase revenue substantially.Roof, inside and outside paint, bathrooms, kitchen, heart pine floors and drain field all redone since 2006. Bathroom floor and shower tiles are brand new. Upper level hurricane windows. Outdoor shower. Thoughtfully designed, the second floor screened in porch provides great ventilation of the house in summer. Turn off the A/C in summer and sleep in the lower floor which is partially embedded in the ground and stays cool all night. Sit on the rear deck and listen to the surf. Sitting on some of the highest ground of the island, the house never experienced salt water intrusion, even during Hurricane Hugo. The entire lower floor is on a concrete slab surrounded by concrete walls so if flooding were to ever occur, little damage would result. This home is a rare and very choice mix of form and function.
