Description
RIVER VIEW. LARGE LOT. Beautifully updated brick ranch nestled along Southport's highly sought after River Drive, where views of the Cape Fear River and passing container ships create a constantly changing waterfront backdrop from the comfort of home. A large picture window fills the main living space with natural light while perfectly framing the peaceful coastal scenery that makes this location one of Southport's most treasured settings.
Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its timeless character, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers a spacious and welcoming layout designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.

The partially heated and cooled basement provides exceptional versatility and valuable additional living space, complete with a recreation area, entertaining bar, Murphy bed, and full bathroom--ideal for guests, multi-generational living, hobbies, or a private retreat. An additional workshop and abundant storage space further add to the home's functionality.
