Folly Beach Historic Cottage

Listing

One of the highlights of 2024 for me was proudly representing the sellers in the sale of 1212 E Arctic Avenue, a stunning second-row beach house on Folly Beach.

In the competitive real estate market of Folly Beach, South Carolina, the sale of 1212 E Arctic Avenue stands out as a remarkable success story. This meticulously renovated 1940s beach cottage was listed on July 30, 2024, for $2,375,000. Within the first 48 hours on the market, it received five offers, ultimately selling for $2,420,000—an impressive $1,296 per square foot—on September 6, 2024. In comparison, the median sale price per square foot in Folly Beach was $656 as of December 2024, making this sale nearly double the market median and highlighting its premium valuation.

Property Highlights

Located on the second row with a convenient walking path directly across the street, 1212 E Arctic Avenue offers the best of both worlds: the views and access of a front-row beach house with the privacy of a second-row, street-to-street lot. The expansive front porch is the perfect spot to enjoy ocean breezes, while the professionally landscaped yard and brick-lined paths add to the home’s charm and curb appeal.

Market Dynamics

The overwhelming interest in this property underscores the high demand for well-maintained, historic homes in prime beach locations like Folly Beach. The seamless blend of modern renovations with preserved historical character makes homes like this especially appealing to discerning buyers seeking a balance of charm and contemporary comfort.

Conclusion

The sale of 1212 E Arctic Avenue exemplifies the strength and vibrancy of the Folly Beach real estate market. For homeowners considering selling, this success story reinforces the importance of expert marketing, strategic pricing, and the timeless appeal of coastal living.

If you’re thinking about selling your home, I’d love to put the same proven marketing strategy to work for you.
