It’s finally complete and we could’t be more excited. This 105 year old beauty owned by the Swasey Family over a century ago is completely renovated and ready for her fully furnished debut. Classic sophistication with tasteful touches of modern trends create a warm and inviting atmosphere that matches the town in which she was born. She sits beautifully in all her vintage elegance on top of a stern foundation steeped in history without any of the worry. Brought down further than the studs of her old bones and finished with the heart of her past in mind, while being thoughtful of the memories to be made, 705 N Caswell Avenue has been a true labor of love. Each detail with its own inspiration, you’ll find something new and breathtaking during each visit as her homestory comes to completion. The brick front steps that lead onto the covered front porch widen as if to say come on in and stay awhile. Inside the Captain’s Watch foyer greets you with a soaring ceiling filled with soft natural light finished with shiplap accents. The incredibly durable engineered hardwoods floors, perfect for the coastal environment, guide you through this open and airy floor plan. The living room, featuring built-in shelving that provide a lovely yet functional focal point, flows nicely into the dining area hosting a custom wine bar already equipped with a beverage refrigerator. The show stopping kitchen beckons you over to relax at the bar of the massive shiplapped island topped with the most gorgeous quartz counter and classic farmhouse apron sink.

Supplements: It anchors the space quite nicely while the herringbone backsplash surrounding the gas range will make you want to reach out and touch it. From the incredible trim work on the master bedroom ceiling and guest bedroom walls, the choice of tiles in the owner’s retreat’s walk in shower, oh and that stand alone tub and pretty double vanity, to the repurposed garage doors stood upright in the laundry room when open hosts added pantry and storage space. Billy and Monty have mixed the old with the new in the most charming of ways. Offered fully furnished with all the beautiful decor at $589,000 and unfurnished at $569,000. Location: Located in the part of Southport where the mail carrier still walks to the mailboxes, you are only moments away from all that Historic Downtown Southport has to offer including Waterfront Park, casual waterfront dining at Fishy Fishy Cafe, Provisions Co or get a little more dressed up and head to Olivers or Mr. Ps. Saucy Southern will give you some good hometown cooking with a coastal flare. Or maybe catching dinner is your thing. House your boat at Southport Marina just around the corner or spend the day at Bald Head Island, Oak Island, and Caswell Beach all within a very short drive.
