A 2010 Coastal Living feature article describes this Southport home as a ”contemporary version of a historic sea captains cottage.” It’s just a quick walk to everything in Southport from this wonderful home that features a large front porch that opens to a blended living-cooking-dining area, perfect for entertaining family and friends. The room off the living area can be used anyway you need it – as a 3rd bedroom, office, or studio. Oversized windows let in tons of natural light and are designed to make the most of Southport’s acclaimed salubrious breezes! The stainless steel gas range and commercial sink are highlights of the contemporary kitchen area. A countertop made from recycled sea glass tops the island that provides extra seating and storage. The bedrooms are located in the back of the house for privacy and the bath and laundry are in the center of the home. The design was created around the concept of living large in an efficient, compact space. Outdoor living spaces include 350 square feet of porches and a fenced back yard. This cottage was originally designed and built as the architect’s family home. Charming and unique – you don’t want to miss it!
