History and the Harborwalk
The city has more than 60 antebellum homes. The Harborwalk runs four blocks along the harbor, with the Kaminski House on one end and the Rice Museum on the other. The Rice Museum sits in the Old Market Building at the Town Clock and holds the Browns Ferry vessel, the oldest known vessel built in the Colonies. Georgetown County once grew almost half of the entire U.S. rice crop.
The city's list of museums also includes the Georgetown County Museum, the Gullah Museum of Georgetown, and the South Carolina Maritime Museum.

Buying or Selling in Georgetown
Older homes in a historic district can carry their own rules and inspection questions, and river and marsh lots bring flood zone and insurance questions, so I look at all of it with you before you offer. If you want to compare it with Murrells Inlet or Myrtle Beach to the north, I work both. Whether you are buying a home in Georgetown or selling one, get in touch and I will run the comps so you can see what the house is worth.
