The Iguana House is a familiar piece of Folly to anyone who walks along West Cooper Avenue. The 1945 home has been lovingly & artfully updated and for the past several years has served as a successful vacation rental home. Fully furnished with future bookings intact. Inside are original wood floors, sturdy wood trim, vintage cabinetry, 2 renovated bathrooms; one with wood walls and a claw-foot tub, the other with a large walk-in shower and creative appointments. Three nice-sized bedrooms, large and functional family room/dining room, retro but well appointed kitchen with original cabinetry, laundry/mud room with an extra fridge/freezer. The back door opens onto an elevated deck with a table shaded by the grand oak -great for evening meals lighted by the lights woven into the limbs above.The building's parapet roof is sometimes used as a rooftop patio (though there are no stairs yet). Below the main house is a large, finished space ""The Downunder"" with a full bathroom, kitchen, and two/three bedrooms as well as workroom and ample storage space. This space can easily be updated to create a separate living space, but currently used for storage. Large windows and doors open to the shaded back yard where there is a large teak table, grills and an outdoor shower. This ""turnkey"" vacation spot at the beach will pay for itself, and appreciate as Folly continues to mature. Beautiful mature magnolias and a large live oak frame a distinctive Spanish tile trimmed two story building. It has retained its charm inside and out. Parking spaces off Cooper Ave, palm trees and signage that is visible from Center Street. Up a few steps is an easy-care concrete porch that is delightful for catching the sea-breeze and people-watching. From the back of the main house, the two tropical cottages that complete the Iguana Compound are visible. They are accessed from Erie Street and have their own parking. Each has a pair of bedrooms, kitchen, a den and a little screened in porch. They are for sale individually on separate listings: 111 West Erie Avenue and 113 West Erie Avenue.
