As you enter this beautiful, brick, 3-bedroom home, you'll observe the soaring entryway, formal dining room, and bright sunlight coming through the large windows. Hardwood floors and a gas log fireplace add to the coastal farmhouse appeal, and you'll fall in love with the fully renovated master bathroom. Outside, spend time on the cozy screened porch or enjoy the privacy of over a half-acre of property with a two-level Fiberon deck, cocktail pool/hot tub, fruit trees and, if you so desire, plenty of room for chickens. The side-load garage has an epoxy floor and stairs leading to a large attic. This rare offering allows golf cart accessibility to Southport's waterfront and shops without city taxes or an HOA! There is plenty of room for an RV, boat, or ADU guest house.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
