Most of 2501 Redwood St is what you see from the street: a 1960 brick home with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in the Maryville section of historic Georgetown. The part worth a second look is overhead.
A full staircase to 12 by 41 feet
A full staircase, not a pull-down ladder, leads to an unfinished upstairs that measures 12 by 41 feet, about 492 square feet. The rafters are exposed for the full length of the room, so you can stand up there and see the shape of the space before you draw a single line.
What a room like this can become
Any plan needs your own contractor, permits and budget, but the room gives you options: a bonus room, a home office, a studio, or more bedroom space. The main level is 1,677 square feet today, so the upstairs is a real opportunity to add square footage under the roof you already own.
The rest of the place
The home sits on a dead-end street with no through traffic, on a 0.24-acre lot with a large back yard. It is close to a boat landing and about 20 minutes from the beaches at Pawleys Island. Inside, the main level has hardwood floors, a living room with a fireplace and a kitchen with white cabinets.
Why the staircase matters
Finishing space inside an existing roofline is often simpler than building an addition with a new foundation and a new roof, though your contractor should price your exact plan. Either way, the staircase is already in place, and in an older home that is usually one of the hardest pieces to fit in after the fact.

A Dead-End Street in Maryville
Some of the best things about a house are outside the property line. 2501 Redwood St sits on a dead-end street in the Maryville section of historic Georgetown, and that changes how a day here goes.
No through traffic
A dead-end street means the only cars that come down it belong to the people who live there or the people visiting them. It’s quieter at night, and the street in front of the house is just a street, not a shortcut.
Close to the boat landing
The house is close to a boat landing, so getting on the water is a short drive with the trailer instead of a planned outing. The Pawleys Island beaches are about 20 minutes away.
The house itself
It’s a 1960 brick home with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths in 1,677 square feet, on a 0.24-acre lot with a large back yard. A full staircase leads to a 12×41 unfinished upstairs, about 492 square feet of space ready for a project. There’s no HOA, and it’s offered at $226,005.
An afternoon here
Spend the afternoon in the back yard, take the boat out in the morning, and still be in downtown Georgetown in minutes for dinner on Front Street.
The upstairs, for later
The 12×41 space upstairs is unfinished, but the full staircase is already in, which is the hard part. Finished, it could become a bedroom suite, a den or an office, adding square footage under the roof you already own. Left as is, it’s generous storage.
Maryville and historic Georgetown
Maryville is one of Georgetown’s established neighborhoods, a short drive from the shops and restaurants on Front Street and the Harborwalk along the Sampit River. It’s the kind of location where you can live on a calm street and still be close to everything the historic district offers.

Built in brick, with a big back yard
2501 Redwood St was built in 1960 the way a lot of Georgetown homes were then: in brick. That matters more than it sounds. A brick exterior does not need repainting the way wood siding does, and it has stood up to more than sixty years of Lowcountry summers already.
Then there is the yard. The home sits on about a quarter acre in the Maryville section of historic Georgetown, and the back yard is the big part of it.
What a back yard like this is for
- A vegetable garden or raised beds with full sun
- Room for a dog to run
- A fire pit and a few chairs for fall evenings
- A shed or a workshop for tools and projects
- A place to park the boat trailer for the landing nearby
The rest of the house
- Three bedrooms and one and a half baths in 1,677 sq ft
- A full staircase to an unfinished 12×41 upstairs, ready for a future project
- A dead-end street with no through traffic
- About 20 minutes to the beaches at Pawleys Island
- No HOA
Offered at $226,005. A brick house with a big yard and room to grow upstairs is a hard combination to find at this price in Georgetown.
Maryville is one of the older sections of Georgetown, a short drive from Front Street and the Harborwalk downtown. The houses here were built to last and sit on real yards, not postage stamps. If you have been waiting for a starter home with good bones and a yard you can actually use, or a solid house you can add onto upstairs over time, this is worth a walk-through. Bring your tape measure for the upstairs.
