Summary:
This 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath lower-level unit of a two-story house combines Folly Beach charm with a modern sensibility. The house was built in the 1930s, but has been renovated to add all of the modern conveniences and a contemporary decor.
The home is ideally located for visitors who want to walk to all of the local attractions. The beach, the pier, and Center St. are within easy walking distance (1-2 blocks).
The Space:
Visitors can lounge on one of two wonderful porches. The shady front porch runs the length of the house and gets a fabulous beach breeze. It is a perfect spot to catch up on your beach reading or to watch the world go by; you can even catch a glimpse of the ocean. The back porch is covered and is outfitted with a table and chairs. It is a perfect spot to have lunch or to play a game after a day in the sun.
From the front porch, step into the main open living area which includes the living room, dinning room, and kitchen. The home's hardwood floors, modern decor, architectural details, and eight large windows makes this space a bright, inviting family area.
There are two lovely bedrooms in the home. The front queen bedroom has a fun decor which combines classic and modern touches. The second queen bedroom is also tastefully decorated with both classic and modern touches. These two rooms share a stylish bathroom that boasts an extra-large stand-up shower.
The kitchen is bright, open, and includes gorgeous granite counter-tops and all of the amenities. The cooks in your party will appreciate the attention to detail and will be able to whip up a fantastic dinning experience with ease. Every gadget and accessory has been provided, so don't worry about bringing your micro-zester from home!
