This grand c.1910 Queen Anne Victorian--situated on a 0.24-acre lot, only a few blocks from the waterfront/yacht basin, and the restaurants, shops, and venues of downtown Southport--is a rare find! Boasting all the elaborate details of an iconic ''Painted Lady'' (think gingerbread trim and latticework, turrets, wraparound porches, multi-angled roofs, large bay windows, and prominent wooden staircase), it is a true hallmark home in the charming Historic District of Southport. Inside, the house stays true to its Victorian ways, with pressed tin ceilings, ornate woodwork, and beautiful detailed crown molding. The floorplan flows from the expansive foyer to the living room on the left, and the formal dining room straight ahead. Both flow into the parlor/den, and then to the fully remodeled commercial-grade kitchen--truly a chef's dream--with a walk-in pantry room and ''secret'' door to the sunroom. Upstairs there are 3 lovely bedrooms (2 w/bay-window seating areas), and 2 full baths that have been modernized, but still retain their original charm. In the front bedroom is a cast-iron staircase, leading to the turret, with views of Southport and the waterfront. The outdoor areas rival the magnificence of the home, offering beautiful areas to relax and enjoy. Sit on the wraparound front porch or large 2nd-floor porch and watch Southport drift by; enjoy coffee or cocktails in the sunroom; while away the afternoon/evening by the waterfall/pond and firepit area; and enjoy dining al fresco under the pergola. Best of all, there is a detached 2-car garage with FROG above, and a large driveway--truly a bonus in downtown Southport. Please see the attached Features Brochure for a list of all details/improvements. The Northrop House has quite a history, including being the ''star'' of the 1986 movie, Crimes of the Heart, which launched Southport into the movie industry. With over a century of stories to tell, this iconic gem is waiting for its new owners to write its next chapter.
