Nestled in the heart of a charming small town, this Southport cottage offers the perfect blend of relaxation and a slower-paced lifestyle. Situated on nearly half an acre, this lovingly maintained home is filled with cherished memories, from gatherings with friends in the sunroom to peaceful afternoons among the flowers in the greenhouse and tranquil evenings on the back patio. Its prime location offers easy access to the hospital, medical offices, retail and dining options, and the Southport Yacht Basin along the Cape Fear River. Inside, three comfortable bedrooms and spacious living areas welcome guests, while thoughtfully placed windows fill the home with natural light, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The upgraded kitchen features custom cabinets from Elite Cabinets, granite countertops, a new GE stove/convection oven/air fryer combo, a new GE dishwasher, and a newer LG refrigerator and microwave—all of which remain with the home. Recent upgrades include LVP flooring throughout, new trim, new doors, light fixtures, a guest bathroom vanity, resealed commodes, and a master bathroom cabinet. Vaulted ceilings enhance the sense of space while preserving the cottage’s unique charm. The home’s classic brick veneer complements the newer hardiplank siding, daffodil yellow and white trim, robin’s egg blue doors, and rust-red metal roof. The warm interior glow is accentuated by the original exterior brick walls, preserved in their natural state after the addition of front and back rooms. Its rustic nature highlights the carefully chosen flooring and interior paint colors, reflecting a meticulously kept and well-loved home. Complete with two sheds, a greenhouse, and a gorgeous yard filled with native flowers, this treasure of a property is a rare find in downtown Southport. Come and experience the magic of this precious home—you may never want to leave.
