Welcome to one of Southport's most unique and unforgettable homes -- a private coastal retreat just steps from the waterfront and walkable to historic downtown Southport. Perched on a hill across from the Cape Fear River, this beautifully curated property blends vintage charm, designer finishes, and resort-style outdoor living into a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Originally built in 1951, the home has been thoughtfully updated with artistic details and modern conveniences throughout. Inside, you'll find spacious living areas filled with natural light, a fireplace with metallic finishes, a stunning dining room with gold flake walls and a dramatic black ceiling, an updated kitchen with upgraded counters, custom cabinetry, appliance garages, a commercial-grade 6-burner stove, and an oversized refrigerator. All three bedrooms are generously sized, and the restored solid wood doors add warmth and character throughout the home. Then...step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart. The gardens are lush, layered and mature, offering exceptional privacy. The outdoor spaces unfold like separate rooms, and the pool, pergolas, porches and walkways create a ''White Lotus'' vibe experience that makes it feel more like a boutique resort than a typical home. Every space invites you to slow down, entertain or simply exhale. The multiple decks offer the experience of long dinners on the porch, quiet mornings overlooking the gardens, afternoons by the pool and evenings wrapped in the feeling of being completely away from it all. Additional features include a walk-out basement that offers another area to entertain in, use as a gym or even an office space. There is abundant storage space in the basement and detached shed, as well as an under-deck garden storage area. Located just moments from Southport's waterfront dining, boutiques, marinas, and historic charm, this property offers a rare combination of beauty, character, privacy and convenience in one unforgettable setting. This is for the buyer seeking something special, soulful and truly one of one. This is not just a home, it's an escape.
