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.

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.

With its unique construction, historic charm, and unbeatable location, this property is a rare find for anyone looking to own a part of Folly Beach's storied past.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
