Property Description
RIVER VIEW. LARGE LOT. Beautifully updated brick ranch nestled along Southport's highly sought after River Drive, where views of the Cape Fear River and passing container ships create a constantly changing waterfront backdrop from the comfort of home. A large picture window fills the main living space with natural light while perfectly framing the peaceful coastal scenery that makes this location one of Southport's most treasured settings.
Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its timeless character, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a spacious and welcoming layout designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The custom kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring elegant marble countertops, generous prep space, and an inviting flow into the surrounding living and dining areas. Hardwood floors throughout the main living spaces add warmth, texture, and classic appeal.
The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with a beautifully renovated en suite bath designed with comfort and style in mind. Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or home office space.
Outside, the expansive yard enhances the property's charm and creates endless opportunities to enjoy Southport's coastal lifestyle--whether relaxing under the shade of mature trees, entertaining with friends, gardening, or simply enjoying the river breeze and peaceful surroundings.
The partially heated and cooled basement provides exceptional versatility and valuable additional living space, complete with a recreation area, entertaining bar, Murphy bed, and full bathroom--ideal for guests, multi-generational living, hobbies, or a private retreat. An additional workshop and abundant storage space further add to the home's functionality.
Located just moments from Southport's historic waterfront, boutiques, restaurants, and marinas, this property offers the rare combination of character, flexibility, river views, and lifestyle in one of the coastal town's most scenic and desirable locations.
