If you've been waiting for that classic Southport home--the one with real character, a walk-able and golf cart-friendly location, and the kind of vintage mid-century charm you simply can't replicate--this is it.
Set just a straight shot down to the historic waterfront of Southport--where the Cape Fear River meets the Intracoastal Waterway--this 3-bedroom home places you right where buyers want to be, but rarely find available.
This is the lifestyle people move here for.
Inside, the authenticity is immediate--tongue-and-groove pine walls, freshly refinished original flooring, shiplap ceilings, and a layout that naturally brings people together. Formal living and dining spaces offer that coveted breathing room, while still maintaining an easy, comfortable flow for entertaining.
Thoughtful kitchen updates and newer appliances provide modern convenience without sacrificing the home's original soul. Both bathrooms have been fully renovated to meet today's expectations, blending style with function.
Step outside, and this is where Southport truly shines. A deck, patio, fenced yard, outdoor shower, and mature landscaping--featuring old growth dogwoods, magnolias, and camellias--create a setting designed for outdoor living as much as indoor comfort. Relax beneath the covered gazebo with a glass of sweet tea and feel those signature salubrious Cape Fear breezes.
Practical features matter here--and this home delivers. Natural gas is already in place for cooking, hot water, and grilling. Additional upgrades include a new outdoor shower, outdoor lighting, yard fencing, vapor barrier crawlspace with dehumidifier, gutters and downspouts, and two storage buildings with electricity--functionality that is increasingly hard to find in homes of this era.
This well-loved and meticulously maintained home also features significant recent improvements, including a high-efficiency 3-ton 15 SEER2 heat pump with a completely new duct system, Rinnai tankless water heater, solar attic fan, new attic stairs, and a fully repainted exterior--including home, porches, deck, and carport. Interior enhancements such as refinished flooring, custom shaker-style millwork, interior whole house water shutoff, a cottage-style fiberglass entry door, and premium Graber pleated cellular shades reflect a level of care and detail buyers immediately recognize.
And here's what many buyers don't realize--homes this close to downtown, in established neighborhoods without being an HOA, with this level of character and usable outdoor space, are becoming harder to find. This isn't just a home--it's a smart investment in a location that continues to hold long-term value.
