    Step into a piece of Southport's rich history with this captivating residence located at 512 N Atlantic Ave. Steeped in charm and authenticity, this historic gem, believed to have been constructed in 1773, was gracefully relocated to its present address in the early 1900s from Orton Plantations. Tucked behind the serene Bonnet's Creek and William Lowe Park, the property offers an idyllic backdrop of picturesque walking trails, creating a serene retreat right in your backyard. Embark on a leisurely 15-minute stroll to the Southport Marina, or revel in live music at Franklin Square Park, just a brief 6-minute walk down the road. Meticulously restored with love and attention to detail in 2020, this home seamlessly blends its storied past with modern comforts, ensuring a unique and comfortable living experience. The addition of an eat-in kitchen and sitting room in the mid-1900s enhances the home's functionality while preserving its historical integrity. Zoned multi-family, this property presents unlimited possibilities. The city of Southport permits the construction of an additional auxiliary building, offering up to 800 sq ft of space. Whether you envision a charming guest cottage, a cozy retreat, or an income-generating rental unit, the potential is boundless. Currently operating as a successful vacation rental, imagine the prospect of adding an auxiliary unit or garage with an apartment, expanding both space and income potential. Don't let this chance slip away - own a piece of history that not only tells a story but invites you to be a part of it
