A home in Georgetown, South Carolina, is turning heads online after being featured on Zillow Gone Wild – and it’s not just because of its waterfront views.

Listed for $549,000, the four-bedroom, three-bath home at 2023 Asbury Street sits on the banks of Winyah Bay and comes with something you don’t see every day: an extensive, eclectic collection of memorabilia that fills nearly every corner of the house.

The items themselves won’t come with the sale, but they’ve certainly added character – and sparked conversation.

Homeowner Larry Marsh says collecting (and even dumpster diving) has simply been part of his life for as long as he can remember.

“I’ve been collecting things my whole life, about 65 years now,” Marsh said. “I love having memorabilia, whatnots and even old liquor bottles around.”

That passion is what caught the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, a social media page known for spotlighting the most unusual and unforgettable homes on the market. But once you look past the collectibles, the home itself is full of standout features and potential.

The exterior features a newer metal roof, two porches and a private lot that provides both space and seclusion.

One of the home’s most striking spaces is the expansive sunroom, lined with windows that frame captivating views of the bay. Just off the sunroom, a large porch offers the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoor view.
