Love this home… River close PLUS walk or bike to Historic Southport downtown shoppes and restaurants. This FUNky chic 3 bed 2 bath home is open and bright with a large sunny backyard perfect for a pool. Ready to be your FUN vacation home. The garage can fit your golf cart, cars, and ALL your water and beach toys. PLUS extra ground level storage for garden tools or a work shed. New roof in August 2020. The primary living level is on the second level with a third bathroom and utility/mud room on ground level. The living and kitchen areas face the Cape Fear River and open onto a full length covered porch. From there you can enjoy the ocean breezes while you watch the ships make their way to Wilmington. The third bedroom is a step-down from the main living area and has its’ own half bath and exits through the screened-in porch. A wide bike lane runs along Moore Street allowing for safe walk or easy bike ride to the downtown or head the other direction to the Ferry Landing. There you have a choice of day trips to the beaches at Bald Head or Kure Beach. Summary of Soil Evaluation/Notes. The soil test reports settling of the house with a tilt towards the rear of the property. It also goes on to report that settling occurred with in the first 10 years after construction and has mostly likely ceased given the current structure loading. Practically, that has resulted in a four-inch (+/-) lean from under the soffit to ground level, a height of fifteen feet. There is no binding with windows or doors and no cracks in the foundation. The previous owners considered leveling the house but since there were no safety concerns, left it as is.
