This beautifully crafted home is the original model for The Cottages at Prices Creek, a thoughtfully designed community inspired by the charm of historic Southport. With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and nearly 2,200 square feet, this residence blends architectural character with modern comforts. Custom millwork, built-in cabinetry, hickory floors, beadboard ceilings, and transom windows create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout. The galley-style kitchen is highlighted by soapstone countertops and a built-in wine fridge, offering both style and function. A separate carriage house includes a covered grilling area, outdoor shower, and loft storage—perfect for guests or additional flex space. The beautifully landscaped yard features a tranquil fountain, extensive plantings, and a five-zone irrigation system with its own well. Designed for longevity and efficiency, the home includes a poured-concrete foundation with threaded rod framing, Hardie board siding, copper termite shielding and flashing, spray foam insulation, and a Generac whole-house generator with transferable maintenance coverage through 2030. A transferable home warranty adds peace of mind. Wood-framed, energy-efficient windows and custom lighting elevate the home’s thoughtful design. The community offers winding sidewalks, Art Deco lanterns, a whimsical post office, benches shaped like butterflies, and a scenic stormwater pond. Residents also enjoy access to a clubhouse with a fitness area and a beautiful community pool. The adjacent vacant lot at 315 Fire Fly Lane is also available for purchase, providing an opportunity for expanded outdoor space, privacy, or future investment.
