*Pool, 0.65 acre, River Views, Separate Pool House, No HOA, all within Southport city limits!*
Nestled on a quiet private street less than 1 mile from the shops and restaurants of downtown Southport, this beautifully positioned 0.65/acre property blends timeless character with privacy, entertaining space, and coastal charm. The home sits on an elevated lot with peekaboo views of the Cape Fear River and is framed by majestic live oak trees that create a stunning natural canopy. Enjoy the unique coastal ambiance of hearing fog horns from passing boats on the river and watching container ships drift by in the distance.
The 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence features approximately 2,590 square feet in the main home plus an additional 570-square-foot pool house. Filled with natural light from expansive windows, the home offers hardwood floors throughout the main living level, a welcoming foyer entry, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The lower level basement provides abundant storage space along with additional flexibility and functional living areas, while the layout is designed for both comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining indoors and out.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a pull-through driveway connecting River Drive and Cape Fear Drive, providing abundant overflow parking for guests and gatherings, along with a side-entry 2-car garage. The fully fenced backyard is a private retreat complete with a pool, removable safety screen, spacious pool deck, fresh sod, and mature landscaping.
The detached pool house offers endless possibilities and features a kitchenette and bar area opening directly to the pool deck. Ideal as a guest suite, home office, personal gym, studio, or recreation space, it creates exceptional flexibility for a variety of lifestyles.
Additional highlights include a freshly painted exterior, a new fortified roof installed in 2026, a new Trane HVAC system installed in 2025, an encapsulated crawl space with dehumidifier, and vinyl privacy fencing, along with a wooded natural area across the street that enhances the home's privacy and peaceful atmosphere.
This is a rare opportunity to enjoy coastal living with space, versatility, and privacy in downtown Southport.
