Description

They say every home has a story, and this little house is no exception. This Southport cottage was lovingly rebuilt and completed in 2022-2023, an old soul with new beginnings. Tucked behind a picket fence, it sits an easy walk from downtown Southport, close enough to leave the car parked and stroll to the shops, the waterfront, and dinner. Board and batten siding, gable and shake accents, the charm is real, not manufactured. Inside, the kitchen has been reimagined with beautiful new countertops, soft coastal tones, and natural light that makes the whole space feel like a permanent vacation. The home has been freshly painted inside and out, and outdoor living got an upgrade too: a new detached deck for morning coffee and evening wine, a fenced backyard, and a storage building for the paddleboards and beach chairs. Even the front yard tree has been professionally trimmed by a local arborist because this home has been cared for down to the last detail, so all that's left is to make it yours. Every hard decision has already been made, the renovation is done, the character is intact, and all that's missing is your own furniture and your own story. Whether this becomes your full-time home or the coastal escape you've been dreaming of, it's ready for whoever finds it next. And what you're moving into isn't just a house it's a whole way of life. Southport is the kind of small town where mornings start on the waterfront, watching shrimp boats and freighters roll past on the Cape Fear River. Franklin Square Park is a short stroll away for concerts under the oaks, and downtown is lined with the kind of shops and restaurants you actually walk to instead of drive to. Grab a plate at the Provision Company overlooking the water, catch the ferry to Bald Head Island for the day, or just sit on a bench along the Riverwalk and watch the boats go by. It's the slower pace, the golf cart parades, the small-town charm that made this town famous long before the movies started filming here and it's exactly why people fall in love with Southport and never leave. This isn't a house that needs a project. It's a house that's ready for its next story and yours could start the day you get the keys.
