    What's special

    This Custom Built Home is located in the very desirable Smithville Woods. It is not in a flood zone and NOT in an HOA. Located within a golf cart ride to downtown Southport, this is an ideal location. Locals know that Smithville Woods is a premier & well established neighborhood right outside of the city limits. Ted Wood built this home for Mr. Bill & Mrs. Bobbie Owens. Mr. Owens was a Seaboard/CSX career train man and the home is reflective of his value that he held for doing things right. It is built like a freight train and made to withstand the storms of life, the memories that your family will create and all of the generations to come. Bill & Bobbie Owens were a beloved family in the Southport Community for almost 30 years, so this home is more than just wood and bricks. This family estate has 1.28 acres and features a screened porch with a huge backyard, perfect for entertaining & relaxing in the evening. A brand new deck was just added to the back of the house.There is room for a pool, a trampoline, cornhole games, your grilling adventures and more ! With 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and nearly 3,000 square feet PLUS a bonus room, this home has lots of space! The upstairs has 2 bedrooms, a full bath, and an additional room that could be used as a 4th bedroom or as an office. Abundant natural light shines in the den with its gas fireplace overlooking the natural area of the backyard. The bedrooms offer spacious closets, the large kitchen has a walk-in pantry, and there is an oversized garage PLUS a detached garage containing unfinished space on the top level and a deep well for irrigation. This home has been meticulously cared for by the Owens family and is ready for a new family to bring love & laughter back to 5006 Robert Ruark Drive. Please See the Supplemental in the attached documents for more information about the gaspack, the HVAC, the propane and other features of this custom built home. The home needs some cosmetic updating but it is truly a RARE FIND.
